Honestly- jealous.... depending on which ex and how serious their relationship was.

Most of his relationships before me were not serious - so a few of them I wouldn't care much because I know he wouldn't be spending any time on them. - he only had one serious girlfriend before me and it didn't end well from what I've heard. I mean it's not like id be a raving lunatic, but I would feel a bit insecure, even though we've been through a lot as a couple. I know he wouldn't cheat, he would definitely tell me before he ever did sleep with someone else, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't try to get him to. Some of these women have no sense of self respect!

I mean just a few months ago an ex he hasn't seen in 7 years was telling him he should leave me, and take our kid so they could be a family. (She was never able to have her own kids which is really sad) but I don't feel bad enough for her to let her take my husband and my kids!

I've talked to an ex on and off over the last few years, we have strong feelings for each other but both of us know we have boundaries and would never cross them, we don't meet, up just talk or text - maybe like a few times a year.
We would certainly never ever ask the other to leave the family and kids to be with each other. We're both happy with our families and know that what we had would never ever be the same even if we tried, we've changed enough over the last 10 yrs to know better.
It's been a year and a half since I last talked to my ex. I don't plan on speaking to him again. Especially with what I'm going through because during grief it's so easy to form a bond or dependency that shouldn't be.
