Need some advice, no smart booty comments though please?

My husband's ex-wife continues to call our home when she has been told many many times not to. I have sent her a certified letter telling her not to and I have told her when she calls as I have hung up on her. Hubby has 2 daughters with her BUT both daughters ARE adults. Every time she (the ex) calls, it turns into a screaming match between hubby & her and this is exactly why I don't want her calling along with accusing me of things I have not done including her telling my hubby I was going to kill him like I did my other husband's. One I was divorced from and he died from lung cancer and one I was separated from and he committed suicide at his brothers home in another county, so I killed no one and if I did, I would be serving life right now. So anyway, the almost 27 year old daughter has some issues and my hubby talks to this woman (his ex) telling her he will talk to his daughter and never even mentions that she (the ex) is not suppose to be calling the house for anything and that his ADULT daughters can call him anytime they like. So I am a bit bent that he failed to stand the ground we were what I thought standing together, she's not allowed to call period. Now, I am upset with hubby because since we have been married, I have had to deal with nothing but bull from his ex-wives (yes 2 but only kids with 1), his family and I have brought no drama into our marriage and would NOT allow it if anyone attempted to being drama to us. Am I over reacting that hubby failed to stand the ground that I thought we stood together? Now for those of you that say well no wonder, he has 2 ex wives, don't even bother. Both cheated on him and he divorced both and I have seen the proof from the second wife cheating on him. The proof was statements from about 10 different people and the 2nd. ex wives boyfriend's car parked in front of her place during the middle of the night hours (sleeping hours). My hubby is a good man but is too much of a softy allowing others to chit on him and I am sick of the non-sense his past brings into our daily life period. Keep in mind, my past are all dead so there truly is no non-sense from my side of this relationship. I did have the phone company get involved and had enough traced calls to press charges against the ex that keeps calling back in december but chose not to for the sake of hubby's kids.

I feel like I am ready to end a good marriage because of all of his past, I need some advice and no smart @rse comments.

PS~

I will discuss responses with hubby to see how we can handle this situation.

Update:

Some left out info that is important-

Hubby's oldest daughter lives at home with her mom, the youngest is back & forth apparently between a friends & her moms house. So an unlisted number is difficult because the ex would get the number sooner or later from the daughters either by them giving it to her or by her (the ex) taking the number from the girls cell phones.

Update 2:

I did try to talk to hubby last night about his ex calling, he has no interest it seems in what I feel or have to say because he just yelled at me which is rare for him to do. So now he has been just avoiding me by sitting outside a lot and he took off last night on a bike ride without even telling me he was leaving. I really don't think he's getting my stand on this situation. This ex has done nothing but cause drama and I simply do not want her calling our home under no circumstances. The way I see it, hubby has 2 adult daughters and if there is an emergency with one of the girls, the other can call dad and tell him, the ex has no business or reason to call our home. I am even more seriously considering ending this marriage because he seems to not be getting it. ;-( And the messed up part is that I am so in love with him, he is a great man, a great hubby, dad and even a great dad to my kids that he is suppose to be adopting but that is now on hold for sure

Update 3:

until this can be worked out. All he has to do is firmly stand the ground I thought we stood together. No ex-wives calling our home period. I think hubby is afraid of his daughters getting mad at him and this is why he's allowed this call to come through. His youngest daughter is pregnant and I think he's afraid she will be wrong & stop him from seeing his first born grandson so he has allowed this last call. He needs to realize his kids may not like that their mom can't call our home but if the girls get mad, oh well, they will get over it sooner or later, or they won't. I am getting more & more upset by this situation because he can't even say I was right and that he'd not allow anymore calls to come through. What I have tried to explain to hubby is now that he let the 1 call come through yesterday, the ex thinks she can call whenever she likes now.

    Your husband needs to grow some balls and step his foot down telling her to stop calling him. The kids are grown and their should be no reason for her to call. You are on the right track for the phone records and certified letter. I suggest you do the following:

    1) Send another certified letter 60 days or more past the first one stating something like, "We asked you not to call us any further, yet you did on X, X and X days."

    2) Get a recorder and start recording the phone conversations

    3) Go to the police station and have BOTh you AND your husband file a restraining order against her.

    Look, don't end a marriage because this is all fixable. Plus it sounds like he isn't a bad guy, just a wuss (sorry, but true) Just start taking the legal approach to it now. I wish you the both of luck.

    PS: Please break up your issues a bit more next time into paragraphs cause it would have made it easier to read. Not trying to be smart, just it makes it easier for people!! :)

    Your husband needs to tell her to not call anymore or you can just tell her yurself on the phone. Then. If she doesnt comply send a certified letter. If she still doesnt comply tell her that if she does not stop harrasing you and your family that you will file a restraining order with the authorities. Do NOT be rude or say curse words or ANYTHING which she can use against you. Be very mature and FIRM about it and be the bigger person. If she still doesnt understand you need to talk to the cops as this is unnecessary harrassment.

    Your husband might have a hard time talking to her so dont be too hard on him but tell him your concerns and see how he takes it. if he is supportive then it means he is on yourside. otherrwise maybe he isnt loyal to you.

    Hard to believe some of the medical questions people ask here instead of seeking answers on any of the many medical web sites or what ever happened to going to a doctor. Imagine getting hit in an eye with some harsh cleaning chemical; waiting about 24 hours and then instead of seeking real help; posting a message here asking what to do? I can surely understand some of the harsh responses I've read.

    File for a restraining order; then you can call the cops if she keeps contacting you.

    Get a phone with a caller ID. Don't answer if the number is hers or if you don't recognize the number.

    Get rid of the home phone line altogether, just use cell phones. Same rule applies - don't pick up unless you know who's calling.

    I'm not married yet, and after you've read my question, haha, who knows if that will happen, but I had a similar issue of my own. My boyfriends ex woudl call and call and call, and he wouldn't tell her to not call. He'd answer and bullsh*t with her about stuff. I was lax in the beginnign b/c he had been close to her and she had hurt him so bad, i felt there was no hope of anything romantic happening. It wasn't until she called claiming he may be 1 of 3 fathers of her unborn child that he finally (thanks to my bitching and moaning) told her enough is enough. AFter that she started going to his parents house and even brought the kid there a few times saying to his father ''oh look at your grandaughter''... lord the drama, i can only imagine your stress level at this point...

    i told him eventually, that he needed to tell her to get the hell out of our lives or id be gone. he did finally and i think ESPECICALLY because youre married and you guys took vows, he needs to tell her the same. Its one thing to need to call or talk about the kids, adults or not i think that is someting parents whether separated or not always will need to be in contact over, but the MOMENT a conversation gets negative or loud in anyway he needs to be able to say ''ok im going now, we will try to talk again tomorrow calmer'' and thats it. unplug the phone if u have to for the remainder of the night, or turn the cells off. i know its hard, but its not just him it def is the ex wife too, so u may need to be extreme, WITH his help to get her to get the message.IF you both stay calm and stern i think u can get the message acorss. but he definitly needs to step up to the plate. he may not mean to come across how he is, men do think and act differently, but he needs to understand his lack of saying something even in a firm calm manner is unsupportive to you. you shouldn't have to feel like youve done wrong in this assuming you haven't you know?

    and dont feel bad about the murder accusations. Want to hear a story? when i was 16, my dad committed suicide in our house, a reaction to pain pills and alcohol. my mom had been cheating, everyone sorta knew cuz he was the neighbors b/f she was cheating with. after the funeral, the same guy who had molested me when i was a little girl went around my moms town actively telling everyone my mom and her b/f had killed my dad, was stalking our house. my point in this>? people are nuts and jealous and though im not married and may not have as much life experience, i see how nuts people are and you need to keep you and your family safe, always number one. long as you know youve done no harm to anyone, thats all that matters. best of luck!

    Get an unlisted number and an answering maching to screen calls with. I make it a point to never argue with drunks or angry people as it is totally pointless.

    Go to a service that will block her number or file charges then she will stop!

    Why not just get an unlisted number?
