Dating My Ex?

Posted by momma2b (My Page) on

Has anyone here been divorced and then later started dating their ex again? My exhusband and I are contemplating dating again. It has been almost 3 years since our divorce, and both admit that we have never fully gotten over each other. We were young when we got married and just wondered if maybe we weren't ready for the actual mariage part of it. There have been some major changes over the last 3 years and also a lot of maturing and figuring out what is important to each of us.
I am just wanting to hear if this is completely not normal to date an ex or get some feedback.

I know people who were divorced and then remarried each other and are still married. it happens.

but if you have children, i would be careful as to not give them false hopes or making them to go through your divorce twice.

if you have no children or are willing to keep them out of it for awhile, then why not.

but I would take it very slow this time.

Agree with finedreams, especially about the kids if you have them.

Would add....be wary of familiarity and ease being mistaken for attraction. Of course its more difficult and time-consuming starting again with somebody new and sometimes re-dating the familiar partner seems easier and more comfortable than all of that. Just don't kid yourself. If the old issues are actually still with you, don't pretend they're different.

I couldn't agree more. After a while all the bad stuff seems to disappear and you only remember the good parts. So it's quite easy to fall in love again. But you should be very careful and honest to yourself and to him as well. On the other hand, I do believe in growing wiser and making this relationship work this time.

It would be helpful to know how long you were married and whether there are children and how old they are
