Is he over his ex-wife?

QFor a year now I’ve been in a relationship with a wonderful man and the sex has been extraordinary. But I always knew he wasn’t over his ex-wife, and since we started living together, that’s become clearer. Our sex life ended a few months back and he’s now moved out saying he doesn’t know what he wants. So should I hang on in there for him? Or should I move on and find someone new?

ADon’t hang on for this man. He’s simply not emotionally free to be involved with you and that clearly isn’t going to change. That said, don’t move on too quickly, or you’ll end up with the same inner conflict he feels – unable to commit on account of still longing for a previous partner. So yes, do let this relationship go. But don’t rush on to the next one until you’re fully ready to love again.
