I miss my ex

My ex was carefree, fun & just a genuinely nice guy but broke. My current partner is a nice guy but so uptight, not as fun, occasionally a bore but has a lot of money. We have a 6mo LG together & I love her to bits but I get sad knowing she hasn't got a fun, carefree dad. I feel like a bad person for feeling this way. I even miss my ex's family. We could sit & have banter whereas my current partner's mum lacks personality. Tried bonding with her & get nothing back. Why can't I have it all?!

I can't say I miss my ex but I definitely miss his extended family. He passed away a year and a half ago so I'm still in contact with his mom and sister so they can see our kids but I don't hear from his extended family anymore. I saw them at his funeral and I haven't seen any since. Once in a blue moon one of them will comment on my fb like when I had my newest baby a couple weeks ago but otherwise nothing. He had such a big loving family and I miss how close they were. I love my boyfriends mom but in reality that's the only family he really has. He doesn't talk to his dad much anymore, his grandma doesn't like me, and his other grandma passed away last summer. I miss having the big family get together. My family is small too. Usually holidays consist of me, my boyfriend, our 4 kids, his mom, and my parents. I don't have much for extended family that lives near by.

My husband is very uptight as well. Has a lot of good qualities but sometimes can be so overbearing. Sighhh.

Girl we in the same boat I wanna swim away 😩

@Ashley sorry for your loss. It really does suck 😔💕

@Nicole it's so annoying 😂

@Honey glad I'm not alone 😔😂

@Elizabeth aww it truly does suck 🥹

Same. But, my ex never dealt with his stuff. Any of it. He was always running from it, and from the commitment of us. My husband on the other hand…. Takes care of everything for both of us, and now all 3 of us. I just have to giggle to myself when he worries about the silliest things, fortunately his mom gets it so sometimes I can call her to realign my sanity when he’s being too much. But yes, I wonder what he will be like when she’s a toddler. 🤨 only time will tell.

@Maggie it's good that you've got his mum to lean on when needed. It definitely helps to lighten the load.
