I want to get back together with my kids’ dad – but how do I convince him?
DEAR DEIDRE: I HAVE been trying to get back with my children’s dad – but how do I convince him not to give up on us?
We split up four years ago and started to have sex again in the summer.
It felt wonderful but I stopped it because I still have feelings for him.
I said that, if he doesn’t want me, it’s not helping me move on.
I am 32, he is 34 and our children are eight and six. He won’t commit.
He phones me, saying he has feelings, but is worried about us getting back together because he doesn’t want the kids to get hurt.

DEIDRE SAYS: Well done for stopping having sex while your ex would not commit.
He may be genuinely unsure and it has to be worth having counselling together.
It might bring up challenging issues but help you both be clearer about whether you can happily get back together.
