I mean, your kids don't like her, and that's got to be tense for you.

She trash talks your ex.

That's got to be difficult to deal with.

And she basically attempted to cheat on you in a sick and twisted attempt to hurt your ex.

And she did.

In a way, sending someone nudes, that's stepping out on your marriage at least a little bit.

Yes.

Yeah.

OP responds, I know that my ex is one of the most beautiful people I've ever met, both inside and out.

I don't understand why my wife hates her.

She never once blamed my wife for anything, and she was really helpful in making my family and friends not to shun me and my new wife.

And as I said, it is thanks to her that I still have the love of my children.

Yeah.

OP does admit in a comment that they did marry the woman to save face.

I admit it was to save face marrying my wife.

That's why I feel guilty now and not just outright pissed.

I still love my ex and even though I'm happy, she is happy again.

I regret what I did every day.

I think my wife knows this.

That's why I'm not as pissed as I should be.
