Plus: Since I came into money, my ex has been telling our children lies about me.
My partner and I are closing in on our third anniversary, and as we begin to talk seriously about the prospect of marriage, I’ve found myself a bit troubled with a certain aspect of our relationship. I have not met his family once.Asking Eric: What is wrong with me that I can’t say yes to a man?
We almost never fight, but when we do it is always because I want to try and discuss his relationship with his family. To get at answers, and to hopefully see each other more clearly, consider doing premarital counseling. I recommend this for everyone, honestly, but in your case, a counselor or faith leader can provide a non-charged space for the two of you to talk about your relationship.
My ex-wife and I worked together to help get four kids through four years of college without any debts, and then after several years of his own marriage our oldest son made us grandparents. I think the ex is motivated by the fact that I came into some inheritance and am living a comfortable life and she’s jealous.
Go to them with openness and have a conversation: “Can you help me understand why you’re upset with me? I’d like to repair what I can, but I need to know what the issue is.”
