Should I take back DH? Self esteem has hit a big low

Hi, Would you take back your DH who left you 4 years ago for a younger woman and now has a baby with her? He came to look for his children that I have with him and slept at my house. We spoke at length and I stupidly said whenever he is in town, he is more than welcome to stay at the house. We didn't talk for years because I was still hurting and he walked out my life over 4 years now. He's giving talks like he want to be a family again, but he is still living with the OW. I heard through the grapevine she sorted out a job for him, assisted him in getting his driving license and getting back on his feet. I am totally confused, this is not the first time he has cheated! Any advised? I know I am being an idiot but my confidence has taken a nose dive!

No.
And don’t let him stay at your house again - you’re sending out the wrong message.

No

Hell no - can you write a list of ten things that make you feel better and make sure you're doing one of them every day? Even if it's just a hot shower, or 5 minutes with a book before bed?

Self-esteem is a dick for making us hanker after people who are no good for ud

He’s using you! No way. You can do better!

You need to build up your self esteem and confidence.

Take a look at these people on YouTube about relationships, so you don’t get the urge to go back to him.

Delete him off social media.
Go grey rock with him because of your children.

Don’t take him back.

Babies are boring. Your kids are older, you're more available, shag shag shag.

He's crap. 💩
