He´s not your NEW husband. Three years is more than enough for him to get used to your family. It is a pity .
Ask your boys what is really troubling them , and if there is any sign of danger or abuse, ditch the husband. Your kids come first. However if it is a workable solution , have them go to counseling, a family is worth fighting for, but you should not be the one caught in the middle.
All my best wishes,

Express you feelings to your children and to your husband. I would do it separately. Let them all know how much it hurts you.

maybe you should all do something together as a family something physical that involves team work, maybe they all need to see another side to each other.

You have been married for three years...sounds like this has been going on for a while. Sounds like there is more to the story.

Hi troubledmom
yes is bad.
Maybe - just maybe - you are sending out signals to each party. Not sure how this could be. Each thinks they are in competition for your affection or each is protecting you. Just a thought. Either way make clear you wish them all to be friends. G'luck.

does he not get along with them because they don't like him, or do they not like him because he is mean to them? Who was mean first? Sometimes it does not matter who you date if your kids are bitter about a divorce, they will hate anybody you date.

First, ask the son's why the don't get along with your husband, and then ask your husband why he doesn't get along with your kids. Be rational and calm; it helps. And if there are any signs that your children are being hurt physically or mentally (especially mentally, it can be very hard to detect), and if they are, boot his *** to the curve. Your children should ALWAYS come first.
