I know that he loves me but when the exchange is being made I always feel as if they still should be togehter. His ex-wife is remarried but just looking at them together makes me feel this way. I'm not jealous but why do I still feel this nagging feeling after all this time?

They will always have some sort of bond because they have children together, and it can be a hard pill to swallow. He needs to care about her on some level, because she needs to be well in order to take care of his children when she has them.
I would seriously think about how much you feel you can put up with in this relationship. Are you ok being second fiddle to his kids, and in some cases even her? If he is a smart man, he will make you number 1 whenever he can, but he will also have time where he will be pulled in 3 different directions. Can you handle that? If not, then get out now before you get too hurt.
Unless he has given you any reason to believe he would rather be with her, I would not think too much about it. Just keep your communication with him open.
