Hi, so I separated from my husband almost a year ago (he was having an affair). Gave OLD a go after 5 months, had a couple of dates, was seeing someone for 2 months until he decided the "spark" had gone for him, started dating someone else 5/6 weeks ago, due to go out for dinner tonight and he texts me this morning to tell me his ex wife wants to give things another go and he feels he owes it to his children to do so.
He's been honest and he's been respectful and I knew that dating a man with 3 kids (one 18 months old) who had only been separated a couple of months wasn't the best idea in the world but I just took it for what it was. Still feel disappointed after his text though as we did get on well and it was nice to spend some of my child free evenings with someone.
He has said he'd still like to meet me tonight for a drink and a chat. I wasn't sure but actually it would be nice not to have our last conversation over text so I've agreed. We're meeting at a pub so there won't be anything more than chatting going on. I'm not good with break-ups or rejection (who is!) so any tips for tonight would be good. I do like the guy and i don't usually do the staying friends with ex's thing but it has been less than 6 weeks and he hasn't done anything wrong really so I'd like to give it a go.
