Hi, I have posted on here before and had some great advice. Please could anyone give me some advice on my current situation.

Ok, here goes....

My ex walked out on me and our 4 month old son, this was 2 and a half months ago. At first I begged him to come back which I think pushed him away even further!

I have been attending counselling which has helped alot. I have 2 children from a previous relationship and up untill last night my ex had'nt seen them. This was because I was too heartbroken to deal with it. I couldn't face seeing my ex so we had an arrangement that he picked my son up from my sisters, so I hadn't seen my ex for 2 months.

Anyway I texted my ex and told him he could collect our son from my house and stay for an hour and see the kids, he was delighted. When he came round I told him I would pop out for an hour. When I got back he asked if he could stay a bit longer cos our son was asleep and he didnt want to wake him. I acted quite cool but dignified. He kept trying to talk to me and was looking at me alot, I found it difficult to keep eye contact with him as Im still in love with him.

After he left he thanked me and asked if he could see the kids regularly. I said yes but told him I found it difficult seeing him. He said " I know what you mean, its hard for me too"

My question is, how will I know if my ex wants me back? He has low self esteem and I know if he wanted me back he wouldt act on it.

He may well just want to be friends and nothing more and I dont want to be knocked back again by him.

I am hoping we will get back together, should I just give him more time?

I think if you are currently in therapy that you should bring this up with your therapist as he knows you best and your situation with this man. I think any advice here would be interupting your therapy and the work that you are doing there. I think you are wishing something that may not be there except for the concern of a father for his child. Talk to your therapist.
