A part of Anonymous is worried that he might go back to his old ways

Anonymous shares that she and her ex-husband divorced several years ago and have been co-parenting well since.
Recently, their connection rekindled during her mother’s funeral. However, there is a complication: both are currently in separate relationships.
As she considers leaving her current partner to reunite with the father of her children, Anonymous worries that he might revert to his old ways.
“Five years ago, I divorced my ex-husband because of constant infidelity. Since then, we’ve only interacted as co-parents.
“Early this year, my mother passed away, and from day one, my ex-husband has been there for me and the kids. After the funeral, we started talking more often, and eventually, we went out together. Things have been going really well between us, but there’s one complication: we’re both in relationships. He’s been open about not being happy with his girlfriend and says all he wants is for us to get back together and start fresh.
“As for me, I wouldn’t say l’m unhappy with my boyfriend – he treats me well – but he’s made it clear that he doesn’t believe in marriage. He only wants a long-term partnership where we live separately, and that’s not what I want. I still believe in marriage. My ex apologised about how things ended between us, and honestly, l’ve been enjoying the time we’ve spent together. He seems different now, more mature, and I can’t deny that I’ve started falling for him again.
“But a part of me is afraid that if I let my guard down, he’ll go back to his old ways. We haven’t crossed any physical boundaries because I was clear that we can’t while we’re still in relationships, but with each passing day, the connection and tension grow stronger. So, Uncle T, should I trust my gut and go back to my first love, the father of my two kids, especially since he says he wants to remarry me? Or should I end this now before things go too far? Is it true what they say, that sometimes the second time’s the charm?”
