Ex kicked me out but we still speak every day and have sex every week

DEAR DEIDRE: MY ex-partner and I speak every day and not a week goes by without us having sex – but she insists we’re not back together.

I’m 52 and she is 49. We were together for ten years before she asked me to move out.

Living with each other started to become stressful after her son, who is 21, moved back home.

He is very disrespectful towards her and the more I pulled him up on it, the more conflicted she became.

When she kicked me out, I thought that was the end of us.

But since I started renting my own place we’re closer than ever.

So why, when I refer to her as my partner does she insist we’re not together?

I want things to go back to how they used to be.

DEIDRE SAYS: Rather than returning to the old dynamic, which clearly wasn’t working, consider whether there’s hope for a new type of relationship that works for you both.

Find a moment to tell her how you feel.

Our support pack Looking After Your Relationship can help.
