My ex started to offer me cash for sex – he’s making me feel deeply uneasy

DEAR DEIDRE: MY ex is making me feel deeply uneasy.

I’ve found him going through my underwear drawer, he constantly tells me he loves me and he has also started to offer me cash for sex, which I declined.

I’m 37 and he is 39. We were together for ten years and have two daughters aged eight and six.

We still talk because I realise I have to for the sake of our children.

He comes over to look after them when I’m working.

I know my ex has been going through my stuff when I’m out because I’ve caught him a couple of times and he always mentions any new items I’ve bought.

I’ve also noticed things have moved.

He’s making me so unhappy, but he doesn’t see the error of his ways.

I don’t know how to deal with him. I’m always tiptoeing around him because if I “upset” him he turns nasty.

DEIDRE SAYS: He may say he still loves you but imagine how much more of your time and attention he would feel entitled to once he was paying you for sex.

He’s an ex for a reason.

You can find emotional support through the National Domestic Abuse Helpline (nationaldahelpline.org.uk, 0808 2000 247).

Don’t feel obliged to let him into your house.

This current arrangement makes you vulnerable.

Look into using a child contact centre.
