Wow that 12 year old sounds like Dennis (NGF's son). Not easy to handle...the way i or we have decided to handle it is to reduce the time we see each other. It has worked because Dennis sems more relaxed around me. I do not think this is an option for you...not sure you are living together (we are not and i have no plans to or remarry). On your side, you are getting married so.....other than sitting down with her and trying to reassure her, I have no words of wisdom. Congrats by the way.
I agree 100% on what you are saying about your X....I feel the same way. I do not get involved in her personal life. She is the one who continuously gives me work related details...when D9 starts to talk about her mom, I listen but more often than not, I simply shrug it off.....I do not want to cut the communication with D9 on any topic.
Now on why your wife o be is angry? You may have hit the nail on the head with stealing the thunder....I don't understand it...but hey there are alot of things I do not understand. Your X inviting your family for your d's bday is alos a little confusing to me.
Hnag in there buddy and don't let them get you down! The AMsters is around the corner and then the REAL golf season begins up here!!!!!
