Remarriage & Ex-spouses - How To Avoid Getting Pulled Into Old Conflicts Between Your Fiance & Ex
Remarriage has some complications. One of the biggest is the ex-spouse. It can be especially difficult to watch your fiance become upset or hurt by their ex-spouse. While it’s only natural to stick up for your fiance, I want to encourage you to think before you speak.
Your fiance’s relationship with his/her ex-spouse is an important one. I like to say they are in business together now. They are partners in the business of raising their kids. While you will become a member of the family, you aren’t a direct partner in this “business.” Because of that, you need to be cautious about jumping in the middle of arguments between your fiance and ex-spouse.
