Thoughts on hooking up w/ my ex-wife for...

Excuse my ignorance, but i have no idea what a "highschool education" is. Is that the same as having British A-levels? If so, i find this sufficiant education, unless you wish to enter a profession. It seems to me that people stay in education for years and years in America. Over here the majority leave at 16 to lead an adult life. Some continue until 18(as i am doing)...others then decide to go on to university.

I actually happen to agree with you. Mothers of my age ARE missing out on life. It IS a shame for them. What i dont like is all this "shock-horror shes a 17 year old mother" stuff. If it happens, it happens. A shame, but then, thats just some peoples destiny. My mother had her first at 19. Some women start young and are happy with that. Thats fair enough.

Im sorry about not being freely and happily willing to just tell some complete stranger who gave no real reason for asking whether or not i am carrying a child, but i felt this information a private and personal thing. But if you really really must know, no, i am not pregnant. I actually happen to be EXTREMELY selective about who i sleep with, how and when i sleep with them, and why. I also wish to pursue a career in languages.

 

I didn't notice you lived outside the US. Society in other countries is quite different than that of the USA. I wouldn't be able to relate to someone in a different country.

You sound like someone who has seen a lot. Someone who experiences then analyzes what happend in a logical perspective. I can conclude that my initial post could be wrong.

 

Im sure that the kid would be thrilled to think that his parents are getting closer to each other. As far as being off-put by physical relations; Hey, better Dad than some stranger with his mom !


As far as not wanting a relationship, You have a relationship already, The Kid,
Better for the kid all around if the parents are close.

I am really someone open to many things. My initial post was fueled from my own bad experience which lead to the subjectivity.

 

Wow!!!
Seems that some of you took a wrong fork in the road a while back. I was looking for thoughts and opinions about the two of us helping each other through a difficult time. I didn't intend to stir up so much hostility amongst y'all.
My Ex and I are both at a point in our lives where were recently hurt by another and feeling lonely, which I guess brought us back to a common ground which is good regardless. We are finally able to communicate without emotions getting in the way and are the friendliest we have been since 1996.
We are both in the need of comfort and It seemed to make sense that it be with each other rather than with strangers. I certainly am not the type to harass, expect or force her to do anything against her wishes; or ever take advantage of her possible vounerability. I'm in the same boat emotionally myself. Forty years upon my head... Her thirty five and intelligent and old enough to know better if she didn't want to go there.
Anyway, I haven't yet suggested it to her although I spoke with her on the phone yesterday and asked if she might like to hang out sometime. Her reply was a friendly"perhaps" i'll give you a call. Who knows where that'll go. I'm not really sure that I'd want it to go anywhere.
I appreciate all of your replies. AIN'T NO TIME TO HATE!

Ver- and every other woman on the planet is not just a hole to be filled

I'd say it'd be pretty demeaning and you should just buy some good lube

 

go for it. just make sure she knows that its meaningless.

 

NO!

imagine u have sex with your ex and then she starts to get the idea that you want a relationship or she will start wishing it was more then sex, but then out-of-the-blue you find another person that you really do want a relationship with. Then what is your ex supposed to do???
