Ew. She didn't say step-brother

How is this even questionable?

It's been a thing for decades

Dr Pepper and Pepsi both have flavors that mimic this; Dr Pepper Cream Soda and Pepsi Soda Shop

>one of the reasons why he hasn't told anyone about the marriage is the fact that you have a kid. And if they ever find out that you lied to him about the kid being his, there's even more justification on why you shouldn't be married in their eyes. Basically, he's lying and sacrificing himself to protect you, because you lied and rushed things.

Yep

Your "marriage" is built on a lie. He's trying to love you, but he's not able to reconcile these things in his head. You can try counseling, but tbh, I'm not sure it will work in the long run.

It's not his kid. You lied to him. No wonder he's jealous. Only a few approve of your union and fewer will be willing to help you

This isn't "jealous of your ex", this a situation he feels forced into. Ya'll need therapy. Even if/when you split apart, you both still need therapy.

Your family was right, this was a horrible idea. Cry about it tonight, but start fixing this shit tomorrow. Talk to your family and ask for some help. Listen. You might be able to salvage something

You and your husband FU'ed on so many levels it's not even funny. He's afraid of the marriage, and his family, and telling his friends?

WHY is he afraid to tell his best friend? Why did ya'll hide this from family? WTF is he lying about? Why is he jealous? Or is that you? Jealousy has no place in a marriage, so this implies that you two are not comfortable and trusting of each other.

He's "insinuating that he's trapped in our marriage" because he's afraid to admit to others that he married you. Why is that? He didn't even tell his best friend! If it's a good friendship, this won't ruin that friendship, but it's going to put a knife into yours

YA'LL NEED COUNSELING ASAP before you prove his parents correct. If you care, fucking fight. Get a counselor as a referee, and fix this the right way
