I still fancy exp

[Ikeameatballs]

In a nutshell that's it. I told him it was over 10weeks ago and he moved out.
I still see him quite a bit because he is picking up the dc etc.
I really, really physically miss him. I miss having a cuddle and being held, I miss the smell of him, I see him and really fancy him. I remember lovely sex with him, although none for soon long when we were together.
It is hard not to act in some way even though I know that a great deal of why he appears so attractive to me now is because I do not witness his twatish behaviour every day!

Aaargh!!

Remind yourself that you don't miss 'him'. You miss something more general which is male companionship, a physical relationship, intimacy etc. Very important therefore to start carving out a social life for yourself and keeping yourself busy. Not dating per se but just finding a more constructive outlet for your energy (sexual or otherwise). Good luck

Spot on Corgito.

I have the same issue (and have just started a thread about dating again!), I also asked xP to leave and it was the right thing to do for all of us especially DC, but god there are days I miss him so much; his smell, cuddles, simply just having someone there to keep me company on the sofa! So, I know how you feel.
What you said about missing him more because of not witnessing the twatish behaviour is very poigniant!

so why did you finish with him then?

sorry skim read and missed the last bit

I am going to keep busy this weekend!!

I know that this sounds superficial but I think we got together because of a really strong attraction to each other and now even though it seems clear that in other ways we are not suited as a couple that remains.

I def need to find things to do when he has the dc, we need to sort out the house so that it is legally only mine, then I can get the tester pots out and do some decorating which will give me something productive to occupy me.

I have also considered dating again but I don't really think that's the answer for me at the moment. I don't feel ready at all and it wouldn't be fair to anyone.
