He had an affair, dated her, and then ended things because of her issues. We already had a major conflict before the affair, so that was just the breaking point. After that, we were both done. He’s said he wants to be remarried.

Remarried to you?

If you’re not cheating on any current partners then it’s okay.

I think this is crazy, but whatever.

It's only unhealthy if it keeps you from developing other relationships that you want to develop, OP.

What do you want?

I wouldn't want to date you if I found out you were still hooking up with an ex.

Big red flag that neither of you have moved on.

But you clearly have a very different relationship with your Ex than OP. So not necessarily nuts. But does beg the question of why they are divorced.

You really don't understand why people think it's weird?

It’s not good if you’re trying to move on and have a relationship with someone else.

If it’s a FWB situation, they why not. Everyone involved know how to get the job done effectively and efficiently.

Maybe twice a month or once every two months, it depends. We are both dating, but not in super serious relationships.

My ex-husband and I have been divorced for about seven years, but we’ve still been intimate occasionally over that time. I recently came across a discussion online where a lot of people were saying this kind of situation is weird or unhealthy, which made me pause.

Curious what others think—if both people on the same page, is this actually a problem, or just one of those things people judge more harshly than they should?
