What should I really make of this?

So my ex-wife has been listed in the Navy for a while now and she was on assignment for the past couple of months. She came back about a month ago and have been staying at my house because that's where our kids live.

We got divorced 5 years ago because I caught her in our bed with some dude. After a very messy divorce, we opted to remain friends and maintain a healthy relationship for the kids sake and that we did. Since recently, our relationship have grown extremely close since our daughter met in a minor car accident and we have been consoling each other constantly. Anyways last Wednesday night, we were in the living room after dinner and she told me that hurting me is and always will be the biggest regret off her entire life and she wish she could swing a magic wand and erase it. I laughed and told her just forget about it that's in the past and I'm glad we remained friends.

The next day she came and asked if it was at all possible for us to reconcile and mend our broken relationship and I just froze..literally. I stood there and looked at her for about 5 minutes not saying a thing. Our 8 year old then walk-in and interrupted us so I told her I would talk to her later. I just don't know what to say and I honestly don't know how to feel about all this. I mean, this woman hurt me beyond what words could ever explain but I was able to pick myself up and respect her as the mother of my children and maintain a healthy and respectful relationship with her. I honestly have never thought about her romantically since the divorce. I just don't know what to make of all this

You fucked up big time after deciding to stay friends with a woman who cheated on you.

I know kids are involved. But still. You even mentioned that it was a messy divorce.

Mg suggestion - emotionally stay as distant as possible from thaat woman. It's not worth it for you. Come on man, she fucked you over and yet you're even considering feelings and options?

@mylasttimehere nah bro you're reading it all wrong or I think you are reading too much into it. Firstly, I never mentioned that I had feelings for her at any point. The only reason she staying at the house it's because our daughter met in a car accident and we both wanted to be around her 24/7. Since our divorce, the only communication we shared had to do with the kids and and everything about the kids. We never engaged in small talk about her or myself, just our kids.
