Is it possible for a man to still love his ex wife?

Hello:

I think there are a few reasons why he might stay in contact with his ex.

He might still feel guilty for cheating on his wife, and therefore stays in contact with her until he feels she has truly forgiven him.

He might miss her. If they were married and had a child together, I am sure they loved each other very much. He probably misses interacting with her, having conversations with her, doing things with her. When you are married with someone, you spend a LOT of time with that person, and in most cases they do become each other's best friend. If he was satisfied in every way (but sexually) from their relationship, he might still want a non-sexual relationship with her.

He also might still love her. He never really had time to grieve his lost relationship since he moved into another relationship so quickly. Perhaps by telling people he is "head over heels in love with this new woman" is a defense mechanism or something. Perhaps he is really afraid to say he made a mistake and wants his old life back.

Or he also truly might be staying in contact with her for the sake of their son, and trying to talk about other issues in attempt to keep their relationship as friendly as possible. He was married to her, so he probably still cares about her well-being. Maybe he's trying to regain a friendship with her, so it is easier for both of them to be involved in their son's life.

I hope this helps and good luck.

I'm of the belief that once you love someone then it is love forever. I've been remarried for the last 5 years, I still love my ex-husband. There is no way in hell that I'd ever go back to him, but that doesn't erase the love. The love has changed to something other than what it was when we had a life together. I don't know how to classify it now, all I know is that I care for him and that if something terrible happened to him I'd feel the loss. I love my current husband and if for some reason we divorced it would be the same as with my first husband. Hopefully I'll never find out for sure.

He very well may still love her. He had an affair with some one behind her back and they have a child. His family may be playing a part on making him feel guilty about that. There's no telling what has been said to him about doing that to her. Sexual needs is a pretty sorry excuse to break up his family. It could be that he is seeing past that now, and realized that he was wrong to cheat on the mother of his child. He does not sound like some one that I would ever be able to trust 100%. If she wants her family back together after thinking things over, and has decided to forgive him, there may be alot of "contact" going on between them. They were a family unit at one time, and that may be something that they are realizing as a bigger deal as time passes, holidays, birthdays of the child, etc . . . I would say to step aside and possibly allow this family to get back together. I'm sorry, but it may be happening anyway, even if you don't move on to a better situation for yourself.

The second woman will always be that "second". He married his ex first and they will always have a life long bond. They might even have and express affection for one another but that doesn't mean he will leave his current wife to work things out. If he is smart he will know that it would never work. Stop over thinking it. He has to have communication with his ex for the children's sake.

Guilt. Who knows? Sometimes we, as men or women don't realize what we actually had until it's gone.

I would lean more towards the guilt complex if there was cheating before he divorced his wife. And it will take time for him to get past it. It doesn't help if she was understanding and didn't freak out, referring to his wife. See? If she would have thrown a fit, freaked out..etc;.....he would have used that as a valid reason for leaving her in exchange for what he actually did which was cheating. But, if she didn't.....hey, he had to face the picture in full color. Tough thing for cheaters to do.

In any event, sounds like she is over him and he needs to move on.

sure it's quite possibble for him to still be in love with her, he is talking to her cause he wants the lines of communication to stay open, maybe he isn't sure of the new relationship he's in, maybe he wants to go back to the wife, as he really didn't give it a fair chance before he began his affair. there is more to life than just sexual needs. as much as the other woman wants to think she is the only one, he still has feeling's for the wife even if he says he don't.

Maybe he still loves her and he realize this now that is too late If he was sexually satisfied he should of talk to her before having an affair... and things colud of gone better but there was no communication at all ... If they have a kid , they wil be always in touch because of him unless she wants something else too!!But if sh ehas dignity she will avoid him and will comunicate only about their kid...

He stays in contact with her for the familiarity. He seems to need a friend to talk to. It is not uncommon for an ex to hold on to the friendship that has developed in the marriage. He probably has no intention of trying to get her back. He just needs to talk to someone who knows him well.

He was married and he's got a child with his ex wife. There will always be a connection. He probably has a lot of regrets and still does love his wife.

I had a broken heart for almost two months. I couldn't eat properly and my life was just going straight to the drain… but as soon as I applied this strategies, my ex came running back to me in a matter of weeks. I can’t even thank you enough for this https://tr.im/ZREkS
