Am I wrong for feeling bothered by this?

(Memphis, TN. USA)
OK, so I've been married to my husband for almost a year now and we've been together for almost 3 years. He has 4 kids from a previous marriage, I have 2 and we have 1 new-born together. Since I've had the baby I've noticed him watching old home videos of when his kids were younger and his ex wife is also in the videos.
Am I wrong to feel bothered by him watching the videos? It's more so that the ex wife is in them, I understand that he may be just reminiscing about when the kids were younger, but part of me thinks he's missing the 'old life' he had with the ex..

You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship. You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before. You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along. Thanks so much for helping us." Rita and Mark |
