Hi, I'm dating a guy, new OLD relationship, about 2 months in. All seems to be going swimmingly so far. We're both older, in our fifties and enjoying the company. Have been spending lots of time together.
He'd told me a little bit about his ex. Seems that she instigated the separation last year, and he came round to the idea, but she stayed around a bit whilst finding somewhere else to live. However he only recently disclosed that she moved out just before we met (he didn't say that, I just worked it out from the date he gave me), he couldn't quite remember when exactly..
They also had a dog together. Initially told me that she comes round when he's not there to see the dog and maybe take her for a walk.
Last weekend though he told me that he'd seen her and she'd asked him to go to the theatre with him? He told me he declined and said that he had a new relationship so didnt want to create any misunderstandings and described her as being 'innocent' i.e. innocently asking. Do you think this seems odd bearing in mind that the reasons she'd left apparently was that they didn't have anything in common any more and he said he got on her nerves? I'm separated from my partner and although we are amicable I would not wish to spend any time with him. Also I guess she still has a key to his place and, I think, visits more than I realised.
He's also talking about possibly moving closer to where I am but potentially taking the dog to see her sometimes. Do you think this is all reasonable?
On the whole though seems a straightforward, decent kind of guy, I think..and very keen!
