Pro arguments

pro ex

seek therapy, he can learn to communicate- talk about sex- tell him whatd youd like.... I'm sure you could make him travel somewhere with ya ;) sounds like you had/have a good stable thing, why ruin a good thing? just see a therapist where you guys can commincate correctly and everything should be golden!

SWEETIE

youve already introduced him to your children- say goodbye to your ex.

Sometimes you have to just let go

It sounds like your ex and you just don't fit anymore. Communication is key in relationship. If you've tried talking to him about your problems and he hasn't done anything to fix them, then maybe it's time to move on. Not sharing interests is another big problem. Your interests make you who you are. It's important to have some of them in common. You just gotta follow your heart. Who are you willing to fight for? Who makes you happy? Who do you find yourself thinking about more? You probably already have your answer. Have the courage to make a decision that makes you truly happy. Good luck!

Sweetheart ftw

The sweetheart sounds like a really good fit for you. I know it's hard to get over an ex, especially with such a history together, but it's best to just let him go. You really have feelings for this old flame and it sounds like things are working out well. That's what matters. Good luck and God bless!
