Scenario

When second marriages face unexpected pressure from past relationships

My husband and I are two years into our second marriage and his ex-wife just moved back to town, and suddenly we're both acting like we need to prove something to everyone including ourselves but we can't talk about what we're actually afraid of. We keep having these careful conversations around the edges of it while our teenage kids watch us pretend everything is normal.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The presence of former partners can awaken old insecurities that threaten the sanctuary you've built together.
