Is Having Sex With Your Ex OK?Can being being physically intimate with an ex hold you back from moving on? by Cathi Hanauer and Daniel Jones Dispute: I even-handed underprivileged up with my boyfriend of three oldness, but hes still high well pole up together. Neither of us is dating anyone new, for we still have ex - sex occasionally. He insists he can knob it emotionally, but is it wrong to last when I have no intention of recipient back together with him?
SASHA, 29 Her Take: In general, I gape blank wrong with impermanent ex - sex, as long as 1 ) its still fun and not too depressing; 2 ) youre not evidence it therefore generally that it keeps either of you from meeting someone else; and 3 ) youre absolutely honest and forthright about exactly what this is ( which is, basically, using each other until someone better comes along ). Personally, though, Id do it only if I was the dumper, not the dumpee. First, Im not a big fan of being used. And also, theres no way I wouldnt hold out hope every time we dimmed the lights that this would be the time Id change his mind: hed realize how amazing I am, confess that he cant live without me, and come crawling back. Then, when this didnt happenwhen, in fact, he cut me off cold because someone more promising came alongId be doubly pissed at him for having used me ( even if, yes, he told me he was doing it at the time ). Heres the thing, though: I dont think a break - up necessarily has to be done in one fell swoop. If it takes a few weeks or a month, and you feel that hooking up occasionally during that time wouldnt be a terrible thing for either of youthen I promise to cover my eyes and not judge you. You wouldnt be so much postponing the pain ( or purely using him ) as simply letting him down slowly.His Take: Its wrong. Please stop. Now. |
