I know a lot of MN say block an ex etc. I split up a few months ago. It was a really deeply connected 12 month relationship; some will think this is nothing but it seemed more emotionally connected and honest than my marriage. We broke up because he couldn't cope dealing with an incredibly stressful divorce - we met when he had been separated a few years. Anyway, we have met a few times and spend most of the day together, talking having lunch, the connection is still there. He is friends with some exs but to be honest they were just a few dates rather than established relationships. When we met recently I explained that because we had split because of circumstances I could see him, but after his divorce comes through I wouldn't be able to see him if he had a relationship with someone else , I would find it too painful so in effect we either reconnected or parted ways. He said he just had not thought about the future. We aren't really seeing each other now as friends it's something in between but no sex .Has anyone been in a similar situation?
