You may be one of those lucky people with golden in-laws that appreciate you and kindly stay out of your private business. They don't pressure you to do anything that goes against your own morals or house rules and they never ask you to do anything that would hurt your family relationships in any way.
You have walked down the aisle and with tears of happiness said your vows “For better or for worse; for richer or for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish; till death do us part." The two of you rush to the wedding get away car and head off to the honeymoon. Once back from an amazing time, the two of you are settling into what you think is real marriage. You float around the house in bliss thinking that this will last forever.

My husband and I are on are both on our second marriage. I made a pretty clean break from my first husband but my current husband's ex is still in his life (they have a child together.) He often brings up their relationship and talks about how amazing it was before everything went sour. I don't believe he still has feelings for her, but it makes me extremely jealous when he talks about all the fun they used to have, vacations they would take, etc. She's also a very attractive woman and when she comes to get their daughter, I immediately feel insecure because she always looks great. Any relationship advice/suggestions on how I can feel more secure in this situation?
