To make a long story short, my husband and I divorced 1 1/2 years ago and we have two children together. We have still remained very close with each other and co parent extremely well. A few months ago I got into my first relationship with someone and now all of a sudden my ex husband wants to rekindle things. He has briefly dated previously since the divorce but now that I have someone, he wants me back. Don’t get me wrong, I still love him as he was once the love of my life and the father of my children, but I just don’t think I can mentally ever take him back which he keeps guilt tripping me about. Realistically, I’d like to have my family whole again but I also feel like that ship has sailed long ago. Now that I am seeing another man, my ex and I’s relationship has gone downhill. He knows how happy my new guy and I are so he has been manipulative and saying that I’m ruining the kids lives by not having their parents together and giving it another chance when we *both* made that decision beforehand... what should I do, work on things with my ex husband for the kids or do what makes me happy for once? I know my ex’s feelings are hurt by it and I hate seeing him hurt..
