    Ok here is my issue, I’ve been dating this great guy for just over a month. He is recently seperated(they were never married). They were together for 8 yrs and have 2 children together. Before we actually started dating, we were hanging out as friends, he had told me that him and his ex were still sleeping together every once in a while for booty calls(at least 1 a week). I told him there was nothing wrong with sex between friends because I’ve been there. The thing is, they have only been seperated since November and jsut over 2 weeks into our “dating” relationship he came to me and told me that he had been sleeping with his ex again and going to couples counselling with her, he also told me that it would never happen again and that he has deep feelings for me. He said the only reason he did it was because he thought she would try and take the kids away from him. So, I continue with the relationship because we get along great and have incredible chemistry and conversations with eachother. We have now slept with eachother a couple of weekends ago…it was incredible, very compatible in tht department. On Easter Monday we got to gether to talk and hang out and he taold me with tears in his eyes that he slept with his ex again on Sunday. He said she had tried caling him for a booty call, he said no, she tried talking dirty to him and getting him to do the same, he wouldn’t. Then he went to her house because she asked him to come over and listen to a letter that she had started writing to the daughter who had passed away 2 yrs ago. He said that everything was good, she didn’t come on to him right away or even after the leter was read. They were going out for a smoke and she started, he told me that she was very aggressive and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

    After he told me about it, he said it was a big mistake and that he felt so guilty after and didn’t want to hurt me, but knew he had to be honest. He has now said that he will do anything to keep us together and if that includes no communication with his ex, he’ll do it. I really enjoy this man and I told him that I think he’s worth giving a shot to because he has been sooooo honest with me!!!!

    Any advice?

    I asked him directly if she was using him for sex because of the kids the last time and he said no….she is not that type of person, she has never denied him from seeing his kids, I know that for a fact. My message about her came of the wrong way I guess, I know her, not well but she is a very nice lady!

    I’m going to be very blunt here.

    This man is not ready for a new relationship. Before he can move forward with you or anyone else, he needs to end his sexual relationship with the ex. They have children together, so yes, they will always be bonded by that, but there are no excuses for having sex with the ex. He was not forced to have sex with her. She may have been aggressive, but he could have walked away if that’s what he wanted to do. He made a choice and he didn’t choose you.

    Your relationship with him is too new for either of you to have developed “deep” feelings for one another. You may be very attracted to one another and you may be sexually compatable, but that does not equal a relationship.

    My advice to you is to end it now. If he wants you, he will do everything he can to win you back. You are worth this effort. If he doesn’t pursue you, it wasn’t meant to be; at least not at this time.

    Focus your energy on loving yourself. You may even want to seek some therapy in effort to better understand why you chose to be with an unavailable man to begin with.

    Trust me – I’ve been on both sides of this kind of situation – I’ve been the new girlfriend and the ex. The only one who gets any satisfaction is the man.
