Why Sex with Your Ex Seems Like a Good Idea

He Cheated, It’s Over, but You’re Still Sleeping With Him

When a single or newly divorced mother begins dating again, sooner or later the desire for sex arises. This can put her in a precarious position where she finds herself scared about how she will explain herself to her kids, as well as wonder if she can actually go through with sleeping with a new man.

 As a result, the idea of having sex with her ex-husband or ex-boyfriend becomes extremely tempting. After all, you’re not dealing with unfamiliar terrain; you’re accustomed to his patterns so you know his body, what he’s working with and how well he does it. You also know what he likes, doesn’t like and how long it will last. You two also share a history with one another, so at times, it will feel like the emotional flame is being re-kindled. This makes you glow inside and wonder if you two may eventually work things out after all. Your kids (if you have them) will enjoy seeing Mommy and Daddy looking happy together, and even start to behave better in hopes it will be the secret to keeping things like this.

Unfortunately, even though your heart and body cannot tell the difference, it’s just not the same anymore. He cheated on you, or you cheated on him and the relationship is over. At this point, you two aren’t seeing eye-to-eye on what you’re doing. While you’re convinced he’s giving you a passionate, emotionally charged sexual rendezvous to win you back, chances are, he’s simply sexing you to get his nut off while the getting is good. You may speak of a reunion or treat him like a king afterward, but those are just things he’ll consider come with the territory and may not protest since it would mess up his free sex supply.

Imagine how you will feel if you decide not to tread lightly in your decision and you fall in love with him again, only to find out his feelings are no longer the same. You were just his new booty call and he’s realized that he’s even over that. That would be a painful situation to deal with, and can be easily avoided as long as you resolve that you two will not have sex again until he’s proved himself worthy on your personal terms.
