Apparently he doesn’t trust me
Which blows my mind Because we have been married for 3 years and share 2 sons together,
But he doesn’t trust me like wtf!
His ex wife and he were together less then a year! No kids no shared friends nada and his always been mine but I feel gutted he looked me in the eyes and said I don’t trust you
Should I not be upset that my husband had his ex wife as his next of kin, but never me?

Read this whole post over again. If you aren’t answering your own doubt. Read it again. He doesn’t trust you. You have kids together. He does you get nothing. Read this again. He doesn’t trust you.
It’s time to hit the door. No way this is acceptable.

he can list her all day long, in the end—you are the one with the rights to pull that plug, collect the life insurance, keep the house etc. If he doesn’t trust you though… I’m not sure I’d stick around

I mean my parents divorced over 15yrs and my dad had my mom listed next of kin for a very long time. Pretty sure she still is. I was my ex husbands for a while after divorce. But he changed it to our oldest daughter (idk if he added any other kiddos hes almost got 6 now)
How rude and disrespectful!
I would leave. He said he doesn’t trust you. A relationship needs:
. Trust
. Communication
. Respect
. Honesty
As a foundation. He’s already saying that he doesn’t trust you, nor respect you (because that’s also what being someone’s next of kin/emergency contact is also about respect) and he didn’t communicate with you before hand and allow a discussion.

Next of Kin is usually for a serious situation like death bed. Maybe he doesn’t trust that you’d do medically for him what he would want because your love would cloud your judgement? Definitely something to ask him further in depth of WHY he doesn’t trust you.
Medically speaking, if something were to happen and YOU had to be the one to make the decision to let him go or keep him on machines… what would you pick? What benefits you of keeping him around a “little” longer? Or letting him go without anymore suffering? Because MEDICALLY id want someone who wouldn’t have to HURT to make that kind of decision.
But that doesn’t mean his words aren’t hurtful… so ask. Speak up.

I think there might be things missing that we don’t know about. Usually if a person doesn’t trust you there is a reason. Have y’all talked about what if something happens (medically) what you would do or what his wishes are? Maybe the ex and him have had that conversation. I know it hurts but a conversation is needed in depth about why he doesn’t trust you. I wouldn’t go straight to divorce but I would want counseling and to find a way through it.
He doesn’t trust you for a reason🤷♀️ you need to take a step back and see what that is.

Do you think it is trauma from his past relationship? Does he have trust issues because of her? Maybe you guys need counseling. I can’t believe people tell you to just leave him, not knowing the full situation. Definitely see if he is open to counseling.
Fuck that. Then he should have stayed with his ex.
I would sit down and talk to him and see why he doesn’t trust.I cant give an opinion based from one side.
Talk to him and ask why he doesn’t trust you and tell him it hurts you.

Next of kin to what??? Usually you would need power of attorney for medical decisions. You really need to sit down and talk about why he doesn’t trust you too. If my husband did that, he would have a bag packed outside the door waiting for him. With me, if there’s no trust then there’s just no love. There’s a difference if I don’t trust him to manage $$$ (but we talked about it and will make decisions together), but I trust him overall…

Tell him to go back to his ex. He dont trust you. Divorce him. Ship him back

My 1st thought is does he think you will let emotions get in the way of carrying out his wishes? Where as his ex won’t? Maybe it’s about saving you some pain. Or do you have different views about end of life situations and organ donation etc but his ex has the same views as him? But saying it as he doesn’t trust you sounds incredibly bad.

That’s a huge 
If they have no kids, they have no ties and should have no contact. She’s an ex for a reason! It MIGHT be a different story if he had kids with his ex. Having her as a partial beneficiary for the kids would make sense.
My biggest question is WHY doesn’t he trust you? Was there an incident or something that happened that broke the trust in your marriage? If there wasn’t a scenario that broke the trust, then you have a whole other issue. You can try to seek counseling, but without trust, you have a broken marriage.

I would feel similar because the ex is no longer next of kin. I would question why he doesn’t trust you. There is a reason and he should explain because if there is something he is misunderstanding or something about how you make decisions the situation may be able to be talked over for an easy solution. I would also question if your husband is friends with his ex then maybe he felt it best to let things as they were listing her. There is more for you to discover unless he was just being mean and if that is the case he should grow up and also apologize and name you as next of kin. You are invested in his life and with both your children ; if he doesn’t trust that counseling may be needed.
I would be having a heart to heart on why he doesn’t trust me. Having his ex as next of kin is a slap in the face. No way would I let this go. He needs to explain why.

I personally couldn’t stay in a relationship like that! I’d be so hurt id shut down and probably say" ok I need you to leave , maybe we can work on it but right now I need space " I’m not sure if this can be worked out I’m not in your marriage but those are some words I’d never be able to unhear and to me seem unforgivable. Because people in a relationship should trust each other. If there’s no trust between partners than what is there ? That statement is hinkey all around!

So in most states “next of kin” would go directly to the spouse so even if his ex is listed they are no longer married.

I have been with my husband for 8 years and married for 5. If he said something like that to me I would demand more detail about what he means by that. That’s an important conversation that needs to be had before you make any permanent decisions. Regardless that’s a very hurtful thing to say to your spouse and I’m very sorry he said that to you.

Instead of concentrating on being upset communicate, if he doesn’t trust you there’s a reason why. Talk about why and you both can most likely straighten it out. I know I trust NO ONE with my money, not even my husband nothing personal I just manage it the way I choose.
O no not going to happen let him when he with you .
very upsetting with a right to be,Ive been married 52 years and wouldnt have it,Im sorry this has happened,work it out now before its to late!
If he doesn’t trust you, then why the heck are you guys married? You need to think things out my dear… why on earth would you want to be married with 2 sons and the person you’re suppose to TRUST the most along side of you straight to your face tells you “I don’t trust you!?

I’m so sorry, she is probably on his Life Insurance policy as beneficiary. You really need to keep an open eye and your head up. I believe legally you have authority over her if anything were to happen. Check with a lawyer for your own sake.

Next of kin on what? Medical, life insurance, work…? If it’s medical maybe it’s because they’re like minded on medical decisions. Ie, DNR, organ donation etc. Maybe he feels she will abide by his wishes where you emotionally couldn’t? It doesn’t matter who he has listed. Since you’re married you are legally his next of kin (followed by parents, adult children, siblings etc). She can’t sign anything or make any decisions. You override everything. I know this because my mom tried listing my aunt & cousin on her living will instead of me. She didn’t do it against me. I’m too emotional to make those decisions. Anyway she was DNR. It was filed in the hospital, signed by lawyers etc. It still had to verbally enforced by NOK. I told my aunt to do it. The Dr went through the order. Husband, deceased. Parents, deceased. Children, me. He then told me I was NOK. It doesn’t matter who’s name is on the paper. That’s all to make you think you have a say when you can’t say I guess. I had to verbally tell the Dr to “pull the plug”. Saying “do not use artificial means to keep her alive” was the worst 2 seconds of life The same would happen in your husband’s case. He may be trying to save you from that horrible decision. But when he asks if they’re legally married & she lies she can be prosecuted for misrepresentation. It will come down to you. You’ll wish then it didn’t.

Strange I thought if there were married a long time and had adult children
Trust you with what? His money? His home ? The children? What will you get? Ask him. What will your children get? Will you have a home after he’s gone? Why work hard for your family and they don’t get anything in the end? What’s going to happen to all of you when he’s gone? Do you need to find a job and start saving?
These are just a few suggested question’s to ask him. God bless.
