[quote=Anonymous]You’re onto something that you have boundary issues with your ex. It’s not totally clear what the dynamic was during your divorce, but doing a trial separation with the intention of dating others during that time speaks to not being able to make a clean break. It sounds like you knew the marriage was over. Everyone understands that that’s painful. But you not being willing to hold the line with your ex has largely contributed to the place that you find yourself in now. Which is to say that now you live in the house that the two of you co-own and you want to move on with your life, but haven’t presented the situation like that to your ex.

You need to pull the plug on the separation stuff, move forward assertively with the divorce, and be very upfront with your ex that that is what’s happening. And while you are practicing boundaries, assert some with the new guy. I wouldn’t have him over at a house that you legally co-own with your ex. Presumably this guy has a place of his own and should be inviting you there.[/quote]
