Tittles;
I have been watching the progress of this thread with great interest. It appears that the issue here isn't about love, trust, or what's in your heart. I think it's about honesty. I'm not talking about the honesty that you have for each other, although that is critically important, I am speaking of the hoensty within yourself. When one chooses to go down a path, they know either way whether it is a good idea or a bad one. Often, we as humans choose the bad idea because we trick ourselves into believing that it is the right thing to do. Don't let your mind play tricks on you. Try this. Read an article or a chapter of a book. It doesn't matter what really, so long that it's not something that will remind you of her or the relationship. Something simple like an editorial would be good. Then, ask yourself what it was about. Talk though it in your mind and when you've come to a conclusion, go back and read it again. Once you've read it again, evaluate your original conclusion. Are you second guessing your answer? If so, then you probably are doing the same with this relationship situation and at a much higher degree due to the obvious emotional attatchment. So what do if this is an issue of inner honesty? I'm not sure, I'm scientist, not a shrink. I would suggest that you take your ex somewhere that you can test yourself. Take her to a club or a restaurant...someplace where there will be a high percentage of physically attractive women. If you look at other women and imagine being with them, then I don't think getting back together is a good idea. I don't think ex-sex is a goo idea either. Sex needs to be intelligent. Think about that statement really hard ! Also, don't let your daughter influence your decision. by making the wrong choice, you are not only hurting yourself and your ex, you are hurting your daughter. Good luck, this is never an easy problem to solve. I hope I was of help.
