Second husband syndrome
The second husband when the first marriage didn’t work out. The one who is suppose to “outdo” the predecessor. The second husband is supportive but never gets the kids on Father’s Day when they go to their “real” dad, even with as bad or neglectful as their real dad may be. The measurement of how second husbands “stack up” is ever-present with regards to the first husband and the comparisons span from the family relatives, children, friends, neighbors and the wife regardless of how good the second husband is.
“Jill always tries to make John feel good about his finances and body because of second husband syndrome. Her first husband Mark is a multi-millionaire and was a fitness model in college.”
