Sleeping with my ex… feeling confused

[Mamias]

My ex and i split up about ten months ago. The start of this year we slept together a few times. We have a child together. Whilst sleeping together we never had a conversation in regards to us m, things just improved until we had an argument and that was that.

We get on well co parenting. A few weeks back he asked me of i was seeing someone. I said i don’t think i need to answer this.

He went off on a rant how he needs clarity in our relationship, he’s not telling me i can’t move on yet he’s not encouraging it. He said he doesnt want to be left brokenhearted, he would just like me to be clear if i’m seeing anyone.

I’m not and i’ve told him this, and thats been the extent of our conversation. He’s been a bit flirty but we havent had any conversation about what is actually happening. I feel like if it was going to happen it would have when we had our last conversation but it feels like neither of us can bite the bullet and put ourselves out there

Why did you split up? I’d advise a huge amount of caution. I got back with my exH years ago, after we’d been split up a year, he portrayed himself as a changed person but 6 weeks after being back together I knew I’d made a dreadful mistake and he’d lied; had to break up again and he was very very nasty, worse than the first time.
I’d wanted to fix the family, but my children and I had deserved so much more in the first place! We were so much happier just me and them.

What do you bith want? Yiu are exes for a reason aren't u? Is the reason why you split still there? Even.though youhave s child,this is not a reason to drift back into.a relationship with each other. You need to.have a frank discussion with each other.

Of course you're confused... What did you expect doing this?

Sounds like the pair of you need to sit down and actually talk. None of this guessing the other person's body language or thoughts. If the relationship is not salvageable then make a clean break and make it clear.
