Be careful, CTH. When you say she's been "unlucky in love" you are absolving her of the responsibility of her choices. Luck did not choose two alcoholic husbands, that's a pattern of choice. I'm not blaming her but saying when these things come up one must look at how those choices were made, we don't just end up with the same people over and over...we choose them. Why would she demand you tell ex-wife that you're dating? What business would that be of hers? Is that something that new gf's commonly ask for? I don't have a ton of experience in these matters so I really don't know, but I'm guessing they couldn't give a sh@t. But I'm guessing it's you that has some need to tell ex-wife. Be clear on who has this need and why. So hang in there, my man. It's always so complicated, isn't it!
