I was married 5 years one child together I h aven't seen my .ex husband in a year and half. He's dated several girls since we split up he left because I confronted him about not paying the rent next I knew he was done walked away took our only vehicle. Etc. I ended up moving north and had to start my life over. During the marriage he stole from my father he's stole from my son he'd lie about taking my son to his baseball practices etc. don't get me wrong we have a ton of good memories with the bad. I miss him and I would take him back in a heart beat but why.. he has said he would do anything to
make things right

Dear I was married,

While I believe it's possible to build a bridge over bitter water, my experiences lead me to think that it's best to move forward rather than look back.

My advice to you is to keep all your options open but move very slowly with any plans that include your ex. You need a partner not a parasite. You need to be sure that any reconciliation will be an advantage to you and your son and not merely a replay of the first 5 years of your marriage.

Best wishes!
