My h was never married to my SS19's mom. They were together in high school, but didn't last once he went off to college. He did tell me that she wanted everything her way and was controlling.
I also need some advice on detaching when we live in a smallish 2 bedroom condo. I got tired of having to sit in our bedroom watching the 22-inch TV while he got to sit in the living room with the 32- inch. So I've been in the living room too. There doesn't seem to be a way to really detach and not seem rude or cold when we have to share this little space.
