Staying away from swinging/sex sites might be a good start

LONDON (se)

No one can answer that without really knowing why you broke up to begin with.

Just tell her straight that you regret it and leave the ball in her court. If you throw mixed signals she could meet someone else while your dolly dallying. Good luck xx

Maybe just go on 'playdates' or days out with your child, keep it friendly and fresh.

Make it about being a family as as much fun for your little one and hopefully over time you both might find that spark that made you fall in love with each other..

could be her smile or laugh as she's playing with your child. who knows what it might be, but i wish you luck. Dont force it x

Be the man she hoped you'd be. Show her that, but never mention it.

My advice would be 'DON'T'

I've never got back together with an 'ex' for one very simple reason

There is a reason the relationship 'ended'

One relationship I had didn't really fall apart, but I think had just gone a bit 'every day'. 'normal', and we began to drift apart.

She then decided to go off to Australia for 6 months.

When she came back, she was all boyfriended up, but something gave me the incling that all was not well for her.

But we still got on OK.

She popped over once as she'd asked me to look at something on her car.

Afterwards, I was going out, and as we were headed in the same direction, I followed her for some of the way.

Not far down the road, she pulled over into a layby.

I thought there was a problem with her car, so pulled in behind to see what was up. When she got out of the car she was crying her eyes out.

Turned out, that she realised she'd made a mistake in leaving me.

But, and here's the nub, the question that kept rolling over, and over again in my mind was 'yes, but if we got back together, how can I be sure she won't get itchy feet again'

Even after my relationship that followed ended, I was still on good terms with this girl, and met up a few times socially.

She was single at the time, and dropped enough hints that she would be open to getting back together.

In fact, I even think she even said as much.

I trod carefully saying that I didn't think it would be fair on her as, since we broke up, I've had 2 children, and if we got back together I would always be thinking that it should have been her that I'd had children with, only I didn't want to have any more.

Just my humble opinion, although I suspect probably the complete opposite of what you were looking for.

the reasons the relationship broke down hasnt been explained but having a child is a massive strain on a relationship. Their son is only 2 so im guessing in some way contributed

the mother feeling tired, less sexy, frumpy, night feeds, work strains, financial stress, lack of social life,

its a whole new dynamic to adjust too.

im a single woman and 4yrs on am finding it hard at times to my new lifestyle.

You need to think why you both wanted out in the first place, be honest with yourselves if it can be worked on or not, personally i tried and we both fell into old habits again after not too long. But know people it worked for. Sometimes we find it easier to stay then leave esp if there is kids involved. Hope whatever happens you are both happy, its what its about at the end of the day!

Don't loose hope. Me and my husband wasn't together for 18 months after I had my son.

Just tell her how you feel, still enjoy family time with your child.

The worse that can happen is she say no and you'll have no choice but to accept thats how she feels.

If you cant accept she might say never dont bring it up at all

I'm in agreement with others on this thread. Tell her you'd like to give it a second shot... but that you don't need to answer that straight away... but just give you some space to show her that you're willing to be a positive part of her life... then just be that positive force, be around, help out, have fun, make her laugh, and be a good dad. Then... some time further down the road... perhaps when she shows signs of melting a bit... ask her again if she'd be willing to give it a second chance... and that you're happy to take it slow and give her space.

Good luck
