[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry.  I would end it also.  He isn't 100% with you.  He may move on eventually...likely when his ex re-marries, but who knows.  All you can do is figure he isn't ready now and hasn't been honest with you and move on[/quote]

OP: According to him, they met when he was 19. She's the only other woman he's ever been with. So, from 19 to 34, she was his life. He said to me once, "It's hard to cut off someone who was part of your life for 20 years. Sometimes they're still important to you even if you aren't in love with them." [b]I don't know what to do with that.[/b][/quote]

OP, think of it this way--he's saying that he needs to have her in his life on some level, that he's not ready to cut her out and may never be ready.  That's his truth.

Ok, what's your truth?  What can you deal with and what is a deal breaker for you?  You have the right to say you aren't comfortable with the level of interaction between them and if it's boundary crosser for you then let him know and ask him to compromise to get to a place that works for both of you (which means you both give a little--him too).

He has the choice to respect your boundaries and you have the right to walk if he won't respect them.

It may be difficult for you to leave, but are years of this bothering you something you want to sign up for in this one life you've got?[/quote]
