So I have a Leo Ex. Went through a great relationship, but terrible drama filled relationship almost 2 years ago. Now we're actually pretty good friends and talk on a very regular basis. We're completely open with each other about everything and have no problem discussing personal issues or love life issues of any kind.

We also still occasionally sleep together too during our down/single times. Yes, we shouldn't be doing but it's good *shrugs*.

So last year was the first time the down time sex occured, and we both got emotional over it which prompted him to say lets get back together. It never happened, we both moved on to other people. Now here we are again, both single, slept together, and now he's saying again we should get back together again.

I understand wanting the random ex sex hookup, but not the whole relationship thing. Especially since we have huge trust issues with each other. I don't think it's a good idea. At. All.
But is this normal for you guys? I thought once you were done, that was it forever.

Everyone is completely right about we shouldn't be having sex. I'm pretty sure that is a huge part of the issue. I genuinely love him, but I'm not in love with him. We tell each other all the time that we love each other, but I'm pretty sure it's the same for him (love me but not in love). But on the other hand, he has been super emotional with me lately....and I'm not used to that at all from him.

Either way, we should really just stick to friends WITHOUT benefits. Easier said than done sometimes though...

Thank heavens for pride. An ex is an ex. What a waste of time to be sleeping with old meat.

And he probably always asks to get back together because he knows you won't do it. But it ensures he gets sex if or when he's single again.



You know it's funny how both men and women always immediately say the man is using the woman for sex and the woman has no pride, low self esteem, etc. But the truth is men get used for sex too. So when that happens does the man have low self esteem as well?

Him suggesting we get back together just makes things more complicated IMO. I'm fine with a little ex sex every now and then without any extra to it as long as we're both single. He knows that. Mind you, the last time we slept together was over 2 mos ago, and it's happened twice in a 6-8mos period so not anything regular at all.

So this whole getting back together thing really threw me off. But he didn't have to suggest it for us to hook up, and he knows that.

You were expecting people to say you have no pride or self esteem, so even though that is not what I said, you've pinned it on me.

No probs. There's a bigger world out there than dxp.

*skips*



No, I wasn't saying you were saying that about me at all. I was just asking a question since that seems to be the consensus on here and to engage in discussion on it. I never take anything on here personally.

Who is getting punished though, I wonder. He who is emotional with you, or you who can have sex with him and ignore him and his pining for you?

Something tells me this thread wouldn't exist if your claims were true.



Lol @ at your last statement. That's fine, and your personal opinion. It wouldn't be the first time a stranger made assumptions and read more into my words than what they really meant.
