I have a friend who divorced her husband she had moved on found another guy after 9 years and decided she wanted a divorce. What I dont understand is that she has a life new guy and everything but the moment he moved on with a new relationship she has flipped out... Now the girl in the relationship with her ex is her old friend and they never were together until she and he were divorced.... Now why would she care? The children love this woman and they all can get along, the kids were around this person for a few years babysat and everything for this girl so why does she care that he is moving on? I think Id be glad it was with someone who loved the kids not a stranger ya know? what do you all think?

I think it's natural to feel jealous if you'd been with someone for a long time and then you saw them with a new love - but in this case, it's time this lady moved on. Maybe she's upset because the woman used to be a friend of hers - I think that would make it harder than if it was a stranger. I hope they sort things out for the sake of the children, as it would make it hard for them if they knew their mother wasn't happy about their new stepmother.

I think that it is not so much because of the kids, whereas so much that it is because this was an old friend of the woman, or couple. I think that to her it seems as if he is kind of going on a rebound, and with this girl. Even though she shouldn't be upset because she has moved on, she is. She may not have healed completely with the divorce and is really just wanting to get back with him. Have a Great day.

It sounds like she's pretty immature. I remember when I was in high school you couldn't date your freind's ex until she gave her permission. Until then you weren't a good friend if you even talked to him. But, that was a teen age thing and we all grew out of it. I don't think your friend has gotten past that stage.

She shouldn't care at all. Did she think he was just going to wither away without her? That is so silly. The guy has the same rights to a new life as she does :)
