My husband has been ignoring me since reconnecting with his daughter
DEAR DEIDRE: MY husband’s daughter got in touch after 20 years. I feel like I am being cheated on, as she gets all his attention.
I am 36, he is 49 and our baby is due in three months. When we met, he said he had a daughter and regretted not staying in touch.

She reconnected with him and they chat for hours every day. If he doesn’t speak to her, she starts an argument.
She is jealous of me being pregnant and has asked him to put her first.
I hate that they have such an emotional relationship while we barely have any time to chat.
He gobbles down his evening meal then jumps online to FaceTime with his daughter.

DEIDRE SAYS: Your husband is making up for past regrets and guilt, which explains his willingness to do anything that makes his daughter happy.
He is afraid of losing her again. However, she is emotionally immature and insecure – hence her envy over you and the baby.
Tell your husband you love and need him, and that he can help his daughter by consenting on boundaries for your lives as they are today, not by trying to rewrite her childhood.
