Can't keep my hands off my ex.

Hi everyone, a strange topic and maybe an unpopular one i know, but here goes.
I've been seperated from my ex for 2 years and there are hundreds of reasons why he is the 'EX' however i have slept with him a number of times recently and i'm starting to get a bit stressed about it. Each time i tell myself thats it, never again, and then i do it again.....
We get on okay and we try and work together where the kids are concerned but as a couple we're a disaster, the truth is i fancy him like mad and even if don't see him for ages i feel the same the minute i see him again.
Haven't told anyone about this as i think they'd think i was insane. I'm soo confused about why i feel like this....he broke my heart more than once, yet here i am with my "come and get me baby" pants, acting like a teenager.
Is there anyone else like me or am i insane?

You are the OW!

Where does op say he has a new partner?

Look, some people just have undeniable chemistry. If you can keep it separate from emotions and kids then I guess no harm done. It will stop you from moving on and finding someone new though. Are you sure OT isn't the sense of 'unfinished business'?

Ok a bit if strange posts from wobbly...

Anyway is it a case of forbidden fruit do you think op?

Abitwobbly I have just reported your post for it's abusive nature, totally out of order to react like that.

OP, I have an ex whom I always found irresistible, he was a crap boyfriend. Broke my heart on numerous occasions, and although I stopped my heart from letting him in my body reacted to his presence every time I so much as saw him in the street. luckily he moved to the other side of the world and I will never see him again.

you are not insane, just very in lust still...I have no idea how you stop this though. how would you feel if he told you he was in love with someone else and could never sleep with you again? I guess I am asking if it is just your body that is responding to him or your heart too??

Thanks all for taking the time to reply, i think some of whats been said is right, unfinished business and it's lust. We're both still single so i guess at the moment it's not an issue, although we have talked about the future and what will happen if we meet other people.

To be honest with 3 kids, a house to run and uni, i really can't be bothered with a new relationship, i think there is something in "it's better the devil you know".
