Is it normal for my stepson to disrespect me?

My stepson is 20 years old.His father has been my common law husband for ten years.I have always thought that his son was not to fond of me because he might think that I'm trying to take his mother's place. That's understandable but I'm not trying to. I did't break the marriage up. He and another woman did when he got her pregnant and caused their divorce. I never set any rules at my house for his son or told him he couldn't do anything or have anything.One day as we were all sitting around in the living room in front of a movie I got up from my seat on the couch to check the food I'm cooking for us all he plops down in my seat no more than three seconds later with great effort and integrity. I think he was being some sort of way. What would you call it? He also likes to strike up conversations about his mother while I'm in my home and really don't want to feel uncomfortable in my own home hearing about her or hearing my fiance being indirectly told off about what he has lost when he broke up with his exwife.I also have a daughter who is thirteen and even she noticed he does this and asked me about it. She has the heart enough not to talk about her bio father in an attempt to be obnoxious to my fiance and she loves her bio father to death and is also the younger one. Is that normal for me to raise an eyebrow at this?

    Hes unhappy and this is his way of rebelling instead of talking he acts out hes just angry. And its not your fault but he hasn't learn that he just needs time.

    Seems like he's provoking you. Does your stepson still visit his mother from time to time? If so, he may be hearing stories/rumors of you that influenced his opinion. If he keeps acting up, why not talk to your fiancee about it. Maybe he can straighten things up.
