Divorced dad coping with the other man in my sons life

i'm a divorced dad and i love my 8 year old son dearly. I am fortunate that i see my son as much as i can and take him on holidays etc etc.. the thing though that eats me up is hearing him talk of his mums boyfriend... I've remarried and my new wife is great with my son and my son is great with her. The thing that eats me up though is that my son is spending more time with another man than he is with me. There is nothing i can do about it my ex derserves to move on too but how do i learn to cope with the feelings i have. I feel upset, angry, betrayed when my son talks of my ex's boyfriend and I know this is not fair on my son but how do i learn to cope with these feelings i have? how have other men coped or is it something i will never cope with? I'm sure one day my ex will re-marry and that could be soon and how will i cope then.

well, im a mother and I think there is one thing that you have to remember in your situstion with your ex like you said she deservs to move on as she has and there is going to be another man in his life, im sure that your son knows that you are his dad, the other man is not, is the relationship failry new? we all know that when things are new its exciting! i think you need to just stay confident in your place as Dad! and thank god that this other man is good to your son and that he likes him cus it could be worse!  it takes time! good luck sweetie!
