[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 747074, member: 22877"] My son resented my husband from the time we started dating, although he appeared to be happy about it when we finally got married. I'm sure it was because he no longer had me to himself and was no longer the primary focus of my world. He did seem happy when we got married, and in fact he gave me away. But then he was in a fairly stable relationship of his own and living an hour from us. However, after coming back from Chicago he dropped little tidbits of relationship advice to both of us (because he has such a great track record with relationships!!) that sounded well meaning but I think was intended to cause minor rifts between my husband and me. I can't swear that that was his intent, but when I mentioned it to my husband last night, he said he thought and felt the same thing. I think he's realized that the two of us standing firm together makes it easier to maintain the boundaries, and maybe thinks he can "divide and conquer". It's sad to think I would ever have to make a choice between my beloved husband and my beloved son, but if it ever comes to that, there is no question in my mind what my decision would be, as heartbreaking as it would be for me.
