04/04 "I Want My Ex Back"

Quote From: stoppela42

I left my husband 8 years ago for another man.  I always loved my husband.  We never got a divorce and we have had contact daily by phone or in person because of the kids and grand baby.  I left because our sex life was not happening and he would not improve it.  I also had a step daughter I thought was driving me crazy at times.  But I was so wrong.  I love him and now I can't seem to get him back.  I moved back in and he has changed but he is still my romeo.  He has a friend as he calls her who he calls 4 and 5 times a day to talk to.  He states they are only friends but I know they dated for a while.  Then I found out he had Viagra and that hurt because he wouldn't do it for me.  I am to blame for leaving in the first place but I love my husband and want our marriage.  I have made even more mistakes because I have been checking on him and have been very jealous.  What can I do please someone give me the answer.
 Examine your reasoning for coming back. Ask for his honest opinion and give him the respect to hear what he has to say. It may hurt your feelings but you owe it to yourself and your husband to hear the honest truth. Don't get defensive if he says what you fear the most. The only way you will set things right is to hear the truth. If it can be worked out great but if it is beyond working out then move on with your life and allow him to do the same. The way you are progressing now will surely insure the death nell to your marriage.

It's NOT working

First of all, you never really LOVED him if you went outside the marriage. When you truly love someone, you refuse to hurt them (adultry HURTS). And you did NOT leave due to a lousy sex life; you aren't being honest with yourself. Every marriage has its problems and a sex life is probably at the bottom of the list for women. I guarantee that if you are honest with yourself, you'll come up with another reason you left him (the problems over his daughter may have caused great stress in the marriage). 

  

Why would he be your "romeo" when he's calling other women? Do you not respect yourself more than to be in a relationship where you don't come first in his life? How can he be your "romeo" when he keep secrets? He apparently doesn't even love, repect or trust you enough to discuss his medical problems with you.  

  

I'm sure you are not the only reason to blame for walking out; it usually takes two to tango and the truth is somewhere in the middle. If you are now having to check on him, you obviously don't trust him (and probably vice versa).  

  

The relationship you describe is not one of love, respect, maturity or even caring. Ask youself why you would even WANT to be in such a relationship. I suspect you are in love with the idea of LOVE (and getting this man back), but I am confident this is a loveless relationship. Love has little do with sex. It has to do with trust, honesty, sharing, caring, respect and ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS you and this man don't have together. 

  

If you are lonely, find an activity that makes you happy. Once you are happy with yourself and truly love yourself, only then will you be ready and willing for a healthy relationship (and it won't be with this man)! Best of luck to you on your journey.
