BeBlessed agony auntgive her ring at a romantic time like dinner or something. dont worry about that other guy, he really ha sad nothing on you, you know everything about her and gave her the children, if shes happy you found the ring then obviously she still has hope things could work out. you make the first move because your the man and women like a man in controll.

but dont make the same old moves that you uaed to use. be different, exciting, think out side the box, shel know how much you still care when she can see how hard to worked planning the perfect night.

and about you staying just for the girls, it wouldve been for her too. try stay there one night this week and plan a beautiful night for yous, set everything up and go for it. tell her everything you wana tell her like i was such an egg to let you go just like that..im gonna keep fighting till i get you back, and do that, jst keep fighting like taking her out, show up the other guy by showing your love by actions, shel notice your trying way harder than him and that she still owns your heart. you won her over once, im sure you can do it again. just please dont stress to much over her txting him etc because its only txting. id rather have a romantic night with a babies father the man who i loved rather than txt..think about it, which one would you pick hehe.

i very highly doubt she loves this guy.

You are the father of her kids and you have been together for years so i dont think she'll just move on that quick and fall for someone else.

no doubt your the love of her life and she's yours, just show her..

Actions are louder than words, go feel her up when she's doing the dishes and tell her shes beautiful and she'll always be the love of your life, she hasn't ditched her love for you or you wouldn't be staying there..

She's keeping an eye on you so she knows your not seeing anyone else, bet she hasnt even slept with him, she might just be doing this to see if you get jelsous or what not. a womens mind is full of little games like that, i have no idea why its just how women are. try reading this book "women are from venus, men are from mars" its a short book and itl help you understand how the female brain works.

A sign she's not in love with him is she hasn't seen him for a week!

Bet she saw you every day when you both got together, and another sign is your staying there and not him. she doesnt want to talk about your relationship because she probly thinks yous will end up arguing which anit good around the kids. dress sexy all the time lol, shave your face, buy new calone i swear itl help ALOT.!

Take her out, do things together that you shouldve done when she was your mrs, even get someone to watch the kids and fill the house with candels, petals etc, all women love that. or suduce her and tell her how much you love her and wish you never let her go. shit even purpose.! lol she mightve been waiting all those years for you to pop the question then got fed up with waiting.

i honestly believe any relationship can be rekindled, its because your so familiar with each other why your finding it hard to start a convo, when people are to familiar theyre not gona hold back when they get angry or upset, like i said just make her fall inlove all over again to get that spark back you need to be romantic. act how you first acted when you met her, tell her she still gives you butterflys when she bends over or something like that lol. hope this helps.??

good luck matey :) everything will work out. just have faith and hope in your women!! ;)

i am a women and i used the exact sentence on my man that your wife used (i dont love you like i used too) theres your solution.!! women communicate completly different to men. what that means is (i really miss the spark we had when we first got together, i miss the things we used to do, the sex, the excitment and the little things)

If you want her back you can get her! just think back to before yous had kids and settled down, bet you used to tell her shes sexy and how attracted you are to her and make feel special.. make her fall inlove with you all over again and yous will work things out, shes probly just board of the same old same old. her having sex with you twice after breaking up shows she still wants you, she just wants abit of excitement aswell.

You need to clarify the circumstances under which the two of you separated.

On first read I interpreted "I just broke up with my girlfriend" to mean it was your idea to break up with her, but your narrative seems to indicate otherwise.

One question in the meantime: after ten years and three children together, why didn't you ever get married? That's the big problem with shacking up, since there's no obligation or commitment, either party is free to end the relationship and walk away unfettered at any time, very unfair to and unfortunate for any children involved as you are now belatedly discovering.
