Can I or will I ever move on?

[Perriwinkles]

Oh I need advice from the wise...

My ex-husband and I got married, it did not work out, we lived together until I found accommodation, I moved out. So far, so clean...BUT...we have been in touch on and off ever since. That was two years ago. I have pretty much missed the boat regarding baby-making as I gave my childbearing years to that relationship so I feel less hurried to find a new man. Yet, I wonder about our dynamic. I often stay in his house for a few nights and we just hang out.

I have no sexual feelings anymore but he does. He'd like us to get physical but I don't want to and never have since we broke up but he continues to make it clear how interested he is in that side of things. What I enjoy the most is the mutual understanding, how easy it is to talk to him and the emotional support.

What to do?

Thank you.

Update!

So we ended up hanging out today. He straight out asked me to have sex ‘one last time.’ I said no. Later on, he got affectionate & then got angry when I told him not to be so physically close to my face. He then said that tomorrow really would have to be the last time we saw each other for a while … as we had already tentatively spoken about this.

I know what I have to do.

We’ve agreed tomorrow will be our closing lunch …

I just need a bit of strength or a handhold. All encouraging/helpful words appreciated. 😳
