Sex with ex-husband

I have been divorced from my ex for about six years and we still continue to have sex with one another. He tells me that he's not seeing anyone else but he has never invited me to his place. I need some advice from a man as well as ladies. I really want to be in a healthy relationship with someone but it seems I can't let go. Please help!

    Good luck. It's hard to let go sometimes. You deserve more than just sex.

    Oh darlin, ask yourself these questions... Do you feel respected by him? Does he treat you like a princess, like you deserve to be treated? Is he a feast to your spirit, or just a crumb? Without really knowing your story, it sounds like a friends with benefits situation, or just plain old booty calls. There's a reason he's your EX, right? STEP AWAY FROM THE TEMTATION, AND DON'T LOOK BACK! You deserve so much more!

    Ex husband or not, remember the rules of dating; If he doesn't invite you back to his place you're being played. Dump him for real before you catch something more than a broken heart. Get away from him so that the temptation to return is not there. If your looking to begin a healthy relationship start by building one with yourself, you deserve better. Good Luck-

    You wont find another relationship as long as your still having sex with him. To much of a connection to let go. Best of Luck

    i was in the same situation. my husband was seeing a woman i threw him out i was married for 16 years. he kept coming home i kept throwing him out. He told me that he was not seeing her anymore i asked him to prove it and take to his house and show me. he never did i found out eight years later that he was living with her all that time. He was lying to me just to have sex and keep me under control. i finally started living with someone and that finally got me away from him, what i am trying to say is you are going to have to break it off once and for all or you will waste eight years like i did. its all about control and he wants it dont let him have it, take it back get strong and you will get through this.

    Just remember you split apart for a reason, and you deserve more than just sex from your ex. I know that it can be hard to let go sometimes, but I think you need to remind yourself of that, and that the only way to get into a loving and healthy relationship is to let the past rest. Good luck moving on and finding a better relationship :)

    I agree with Jodi A. If he hasn't invited you over to his place, he's hiding something or someone. I'm sure its hard to let go but It seems like your ex-husband is playing you and you don't deserve that. If he wasn't, he would have more involvement with you than just sex. You shouldn't settle for less than half when you deserve a whole!!

    From a Man's Point of View. I think that Sex with a Ex-Husband Or Lover is a bad Idea. 1 because the issues that evolved that ended the relationship in the first place will present itself again, 2 most men know that there ex's are always good for a quick Fix, and 3 this will actually lead one of you into the wrong perspective, via another chance at the relationship theory or both parties are ok with Casual Sex even though somebody has another partner. close "Having your cake and eating it to".
