A female , *rookeD writes:

My boyfriend and I are very much in love with each other. It's one of those things when you know you know, but nobody else knows or understands. I've been told nasty things, like he will end up breaking my heart. But I've chosen not to listen. Even despite my being hurt so many times, I have given him my heart in best hopes. He never hesitates to tell me he loves me- even in front of his friends, even strangers. However, he is in the process of a divorce. Whenever he goes to Alabama to see his children I become jealous because he is spending quality time with his soon to be ex-wife, who still claims she loves him. It hurts me so much to know that they are spending this time together and the fact is, all the things I have been told are lingering in the back of my mind. All I can do is wish them away and still I don't feel comfortable. I mean, they're alone in the house with the kids. It even bothers me to death when she cooks for him. It's not her job any more, I will cook for him. He claims he despises her, but how can you really ever know? Especially when you've been lied to before. Well, just now when I was going to call and leave him a message, he answered the phone. I know he is visiting the kids...and the ex. When I said I love you, he stumbled and said "uh huh." That hurt. I said Okay I guess you can't say it in front of Diane* and he agreed. I hung up the phone completely hurt and torn apart. What is that about? Is he ashamed of me? Please someone comfort me until I can speak with him about this!!

thank you so much

eyeswideopen agony auntHow often does he go to Alabama? Are you sure he is in the process of a divorce? Is it possible he's getting the best of both worlds? Mighty strange that he isn't free to say whatever he wants to you in front of his "soon to be ex-wife". This whole situation sounds pretty fishy to me. You just might be heading for that broken heart whether you want to listen or not.

His children are always going to be apart of his life so your not going to get ride of his wife either, why cant you stay with him while his visiting his children? or why cant he stay at a motel instead or staying at the house? or why cant his children come stay with the both of you instead? or maybe you could all meet in the one spot instead of going to each others homes, its not ok that this is going on, and the fact that he cant say i love you infront of his ex wife is not ok, tell him to put you first over his ex wife or he can hit the highway.
