How many ppl have remarried after having an ex bf or husbands and kids came from that union?

Question

does the whole step family thing work out...how? Are u happier since u moved on

Answer 1

Ok I'm the step-mom, but I will tell you this from hearing how my husband was with his ex and how he is with me. WAY different. I think that he has grown up a ton. With the whole mix family it can go two ways. Ours does not work b/c there is no communication and his ex is so bitter and hateful that it's very sad for my step-son, but I do know ppl that the ex wife and the new wife actually scrap book together and the kids all play. That would be so nice for every one to get along. If you get along with the ex now and she understands that you and your hubby are a family then your good. If she is not so nice I would have some reservations about it before I would get to involved.

Im very happy with my husband! I would not want to be with any one but him. I love his son like he was my own, and we just had a baby girl together which really pulled all of us together. How ever I do not like dealing with the ex b/c of the harm she is doing to my step-son, but maybe over time that may change when she grows up and has some more of life and how the real world works when she enters into a new family of her own.

Answer 2

i have a kid from a previous relationship before i was married and it made me love my husband more cuz he cares for my daughter as if she were his and hes very protective of her. he doesnt wanna leave for work unless he gets his bear hugs from her and shes overjoyed when he gets home (then he gets another hug) he's her hero! lol. there was no doubt in my mind from the beginning cuz of his personality but if u have to ask us then i dunno know if u should but every relationship is not the same i can just tell you that i love what i have and i hope u will too.

Answer 3

I have a 7 year old from a previous relationship and me and my live-in fiancee have a 2 year old together. It is hard at first because you have to get used to someone else disciplining your child and you have to work through the he is not my father stuff but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.  

Answer 4

I have 3 kids from my first marriage and i have lived with my new fiance for about a year. It was a lil difficult at first. Its a big change for the kids. We always put the kids first and we never pushed them to call him dad or anything, but I always made sure they treated him with respect. Now we are all so happy and my kids love him. They still do not call him dad or anything but they do always tell him that they love him. I think step families can definatley work but it takes time and alot of understanding.

Answer 5

My hubby has 2 boys and I have 2 girls and we have been married 17 years next week, I treat his boys as my own(which I feel they are) and he treats my girls as his.  They are all grown now but his boys love me and my girls love hubby.  I couldn't be happier.  Yes there was some mountains to climb but hey my family was worth it.

Oh and now we have 6 beautiful grankids!
