Not quite sure what to get from this, just a bit of advice I guess and to off load.
I was with my ex many years ago, we split because he couldn’t give me what I wanted in the relationship - although we were very much in love. I then met and married my DH - a complete rebound from my ex. My DH and I have been together 20 years now and I have always been in contact at a distance with my ex and he always claimed that he has never stopped loving me. My DH is not the nicest of guys really - he doesn’t work and has no intention of ever working, he is very controlling and won’t let me do anything I want to do such as see friends or go anywhere in my own, he also has a horrible temper. I’m so unhappy with him and I only stay because it would break the hearts of my DC if we split. Recently my ex has been in touch a lot and saying that he still loves me and wants us to be together - nothing has ever happened physically between us in 20 years but at the moment I am really torn as I have realised that I do still love my ex. I’m so confused as what to do - any advice?
