My husband and I were both in long marriages before and we both have grown up children. He and his wife separated on amicable terms. We have been married 5 years. Problem is, I found out she's been emailing him every other week telling him her news, saying its been a long time since she last spoke to him etc. Its like a shadow over me because she wont get on with her own life, and seems to think he's still her husband even if not physically. If she contacted him about practical issues like the house she still lives in (they have to sell it and share it in two years as part of the divorce agreement) or sorting out bills ok, but its all about 'her' and what shes been up to - gardening, arguing with her mother etc. She doesnt work and try to support herself, my husband still pays alimony voluntarily. I try to tell him to encourage her to retrain, find a job etc. He also hides the emails he gets from her (dont know if its because he thinks it will make me angry or whether he wants secrecy of contact) - How do I handle this? Help!
