Living in the shadow
I have come to realise in my marriage that my husband is trying to recreate
what he had with his wife of 30 years who died a few years ago, with me.
I'm interested in finding out if there are men and/or women here trying to
recreate what the had with their spouses rather than starting a brand new
relationship?
Any tips on dealing with this situation.

And what are you trying to recreate by being on IE?
Your previous divorce proceedings!

Why don’t you ask him. None will have a better answer than he will

For 30 years I have just been with my wife .. I don’t think I would try to recreate the mess I have made of that ..
If he’s trying to add good bits . Say yes please .. but hopefully it’s not too stepford wives for you

I agree with Ferrari. It's one for a counsellor. Some of the advice here comes across as very "mumsnetty".

sounds like there are three people in your marriage. You, your husband and the ghost of his wife. Spooky!

Have you discussed this at all?
Is your relationship strong enough that you can talk openly to one another?
If you can, I'd start with some form of mediation, councilling, marriage guidance. I guess it comes down to if you want to reamin in the relationship or not.
What is your motivation to join IE?
More questions than answers I'm afraid but designed to get you thinking.

Wow, what a delicate and touching question. Looking forward to reading the replies. (No experience here.)
