Spent the night with my ex… now what

[Nowhwat]

I share a child with my ex, we split about 5 months ago, we were arguing and have continued to argue since splitting. He’s been making comments about me moving and and made a few jealous remarks. We have tried to remain friends for our child and when we’re around I can just tell he still has feelings. Or at least fancies me… Recently he’s been saying he wants me to be happy with someone else. So it’s quite confusing with his remarks but then wanting me to be happy.

Anyway he knew I went out new years and he turned up at mine with food as I was hungover. We slept together a few times and now things have been a bit weird. I don’t know what or if it means anything, do I acknowledge it?

Do you want it to mean anything?

I do, I have really missed him. But I guess I’m scared of bringing it up and him saying it meant nothing

Ask him if it means anything so you know where you stand. If he says it's means nothing, it will hurt but you move on and don't go back.

You haven't really got anything to lose. I would straight up ask him if he wants to try again. You'll obviously need to address the reasons you broke up but he may be feeling the same.

I think there is a possibility he might say that. It sounds as if he is either confused or, worst case scenario, playing games.

If it were me I'd probably leave it in the open and see what happens next. As you share a child you will be in contact with each other, so it isn't like this is your final chance to declare your feelings

Sex in return for food because you are hungover - classy!

Haha I didn’t have sex because of the food

Consensual sex for any reason whatsoever, crack on!

Why did you split up?

We were long distance due to his work, we just kept arguing over everything. Little things would spiral amd it was hard

How has he been since? That will give you a clue

Are you still long distance?

Don’t say it meant nothing to you if it did mean something. Ask him if it meant anything to him, if he says yes/no then go from there, but don’t lie otherwise you will never actually know.
