So here's the deal ...I never had issues with FH's..in fact they are really the only family I have and im greatful for that. When I first met them at their home as soon as you walked in you see a huge family pic of my FH's..FH...FSIL and FH EX wife with their 2 kids..that never put me off because...

So then after seeing things in the home I keep noticing pics of my FH and the EX (just them..like wedding pics..ect..nothing with kids in it) still up..in frames. Now im not a jealous person really but I do have my times lol and his EX wife I have never had issues with..nice lady..I have nothing bad to say about her CONT

    Lucky here. When DH and I started dating, his mom came right out and told me she hates his ex wife(at the time wife) and that I'm a much better match for him. They didn't have pictures of them together at all - not even at the wedding.

    I would be upset. It sounds like they didn't want them to end their marriage and might possibly be trying to make you go away. =/

    @Jamie- Yeah I could see where it may look like they are trying to out me lol but honestly they arent like that..like I said we have always got along..they are nice people..im just thinking maybe they dont think its odd showing me this stuff. As for them wanting or not wanting him and her to divorce..not sure about that, I can only imagine anyone would not want someone to divorce since it the end to a marriage..plus they had kids involved but it was over 10yrs ago so maybe they are over it IF they did have a issue with them divorcing.

    Thanks all for the input..I did get some good news today from my FMIL ..but ill have to post about that later...need sleep Smiley winking

    Yes I have that issue. My FSIL she is very close to my FH ex gf and she has pics of them and they don't even have kids together so it bothers me. I believe she did it on purpose she supposedly cleaning her room and came across the pics and showed my FH what she found. He just told her OK. Like for real I don't think that was necessary to do that. In her room you see pics of the ex and stuff. I wouldn't enter her room whats so ever. I do have a problem with the ex my FSIL was trying to get my FH and the ex together and the e knew about her plan. You can;t really say anything cause it's their house just ask why is it up there if the kids are not in the photo.

    My grandmother does this. My parents met in high school and were married for 25 yrs before the divorce. My dads been with his new gf for 14 yrs now, grandma doesn't like her (thinks she is a gold digger) so she STILL has pictures up of my mom and dad back in their 20s. Grandma didn't even like my mom that much to be honest. I have told her to take them down but she says its part of their history and hers. I see it hurts my dads gf and attribute it to her being 80 and senile... but honestly I think it's my grandma being a little evil.

    Your future in-laws have no respect for you nor their son. They're what we call very rude people who shouldn't make babies on this planet. Oh well they are what you are stuck with if you're already married. I'd say cut them out of your life and don't give any presents or money out of your pocket, let your spouse take that responsibility. Be very smart though because petty people like them will go to whatever extent to ruin you guys relationship such as inviting the ex over for holidays or something strange like that. Personally, I don't trust these kind of people despite of the fact they're my spouses parents. These parents are not kind and very manipulative and never allow your kids near them. They are definitely snakes!

    My FIL have a pic of my FH with his ex and child framed on the end table. I think it’s totally inappropriate. Yes, the kid is in it but they have pics of the kids displayed everywhere. I tried to blow it off in the beginning but as the years pass it bothers me more and more. I think my FH should say something but he wont. My family would never display or even show him pics with me and my ex. That’s in poor taste imo.

    That’s what bothers me more about my situation. My FH doesn’t seem to care that it makes me feel uncomfortable enough to ask his mother why the pic is still being displayed.
