I just don’t feel comfortable with that, she is unstable because of her own decision making and the consequences of her actions. She is a good mom but has problems getting organised which is her downfall I think and that is why she is struggling to cope along with her regret.

We have been seen each other for 6 months now. It is working out well, there are no issues there and she is a really great person. it’s not necessarily for my sake, i was ok and adjusting well, but my ex suggested it as she was struggling mentally and it threw me off track.

We have been seen each other for 6 months now. It is working out well, there are no issues there and she is a really great person. it’s not necessarily for my sake, i was ok and adjusting well, but my ex suggested it as she was struggling mentally and it threw me off track.

I accept it would put an end to a new relationship and i acknowledged that in the last paragraph. It wasn’t my idea, it was my exs, and I must admit i have considered it but for my kids sake only, not mine. Myex really struggles with the kids on her own and i feel i’m not putting my children best interests first. I was doing ok and this threw me off track, i have been taken for a complete fool so don’t even know why its an option but feel i have some form of stockholm syndrome.

Very long term partner (20 years) cheated on me. I found out but she carried on months on end and also fell pregnant but had an abortion. We have 2 young children 9 and 6 but she would not give in and focus on our family, it broke my heart and she eventually moved out 9 months after me finding out. 1 month after that and after formally settling everything (pay out etc) she decided to change her mind and wanted to come back after she split with the other guy. We shared the kids 50/50 but we both missed them desperately when not with them. I met someone else not long before she moved out and this person is really lovely to me, we have lots in common and our time together is great and i feel at ease and so comfortable with her. I feel I could already trust her with my life. However, part of me wants to allow my ex to move back in solely for the sake of the children and my own well being so we can revert to normal as a family. I will never trust my ex again or touch her again in a sexual manner because i feel so betrayed and I’m stubborn. I don’t even want to share a bed and I know i’ll keep biting when feeling angry. I am so torn whether to go on this new path with the person i am seeing. She also has two young children and i just struggle to see me eventually living as a family with children that are not my own, i also think my own will struggle with that arrangement. We see each other 3 times a week but we would both like more but are taking it slow and treading carefully with children involved. i just don’t know what to do. At the moment I’m leaning towards allowing my ex back in a non conventional relationship, but i would have to accept leaving a new relationship as that would not be fair or acceptable but it would kill me to break it off as it’s a chance of a new start with no baggage as such. any help would be really appreciated!
