How do I tell my soon to be ex that I’m dating someone else?

Posted: June 7, 2010 at 7:59 pm 41 Comments

We’ve been physically seperated about 7 months but have been emotionally seperated for quit some time.

Anyway. . . I’m dating a man totally opposite of my husband. He’s charming, affectionate, considerate, fun, loving, etc. . . and I don’t want to keep him a secret for too much longer. Should I tell my soon to be ex about him?

    IN £o, because in £o it would go to feel the necessity to express this? ‰, more early or later.

  • yaddajean said:

    If vocês in £o estão together, what it would be the point of saying to it. I want to say, você still this ¡ living together or that. I in £o see razão to say to it, in £o to be to try torture ¡ – lo

  • makeloans2 said:

    Why bother? It’s none of his business. He probably wouldn’t tell you about anyone he’s dating. Just let it be.

  • emily_etie said:

    Well if it comes up then you should but if it doesnt dont bring it up.

  • luvlisteningtomusic said:

    Why do you feel the need to tell him. There is no need to tell your ex your private life. If it is over it is over. You do not want to feul the fire even more.

  • beejay said:

    sounds like he is already your ex. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . no you dont have to tell him anything you dont have to answer to anyone but your self. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . what you do with your life now has nothing to do with your ex

  • Itsa Secret said:

    Not unless you have to. It’s ‘soon-to-be’ none of his business!

  • DJ M said:

    you shouldn’t be dating until you are legally divorced other wise its an affair and can be brought up in court as one, which will most likely mean that the judge will take things away from you.

  • l_luv_my_Sti said:

    As soon as possible its better for him to hear it from you then someone else.

  • Emily Rugburn said:

    Just come right out and say it. It’s really messed up to beat around the bush. Just say “I’ve met someone else and we have to break up”. Don’t tell him about the qualities of the new guy, I promise he doesn’t want to hear it.

  • Saphire said:

    Yes. Just spit it outand apologize that you didn’t tell him sooner. You should be happy with whoever you want.

  • "1st Ladee" said:

    If you’re dating someone else, he’s already your ex. Tell him before he finds out from someone else.

  • DonJ said:

    I will not even tell you what I really think,,,,,but just a thought,,don’t you think it will be smarter to wait until your DIVORCE is final!?????

  • Darlene C D said:

    if it was me I say No!. do you have children together you and your EX- to be. if it was me I wouldn’t say anything to him you just don’t know what he will or might do.

  • auburn said:

    I do not quite get your question. Are you living with your husband or not? If you still live with him, then has a duty to go out, as if you do not feel it, are still married you are living as husband and wife. You have no idea how he sees your relationship, so you’re with him or betrügen.So then of course he has the right to know.

  • Allie said:

    ya do it well, but can, because the longer one of the most pain you will wait to tell you. Good Luck! :)

  • Hula G said:

    what you do is really your business you don’t have to tell him anything. But if you feel the need to tell him just say I just started dating again If it is a messy devorice and you think that it will get involved with the devorice proceedures kids etc. . . . Best leave it out for now
    take care abd good luck

  • ajordan971 said:

    Do not tell your ex anything! The beauty of separation and divorce is that what you do shouldn’t matter anymore to the other. Any if it does, than you shouldn’t be separated in the first place.

  • jeanniep said:

    I would wait until you are legally divorced, so he can’t come back with you are cheating on me stuff.

    then you don’t need to explain anything to him, you will be divorced and it’s not his business.

  • Gilly137 said:

    Yes, but have an escape plan ahead of time. He may flip out and you don’t want to be there when it happens. If things are bad enough that you are looking for someone else, you shouldn’t make like things are good. Be honest, tell him and let him get on with his life too. Good luck

  • starting over said:

    maybe you should hold off until actually over legally, otherwise it will bite you in your own rear. . . unless he’s on answers too and oops. . . your busted

  • aa889d said:

    Why say you need him? Why is your friendship / social / love / sex life of one of his “soon-to-be-ex is” worrying? I would caution against jumping into another serious relationship before the ink dries on the dissolution of first intercourse. . . . I’d say you’re probably set to Ärger.Sie should be free to rank their feelings, stand on their own feet, then reboot back to the dating scene. . . . . but it seems you already have your choice, good luck to you have done. . . .

  • Alyssa E. said:

    wow. this looks like a sticky situation. you have two main choices. you could:
    1. ) tell your husband now that you are dating someone else, and you want a divorce as soon as possible. (the only downside is this is more hurtful to your husband, and more wrong. )
    2. ) You could also keep the secret a little longer until you get officially divorced. then break the news. It wont seem as big of a deal if you’re already divorced.

    I’m not sure if you and your husband have already talked about seperating, and if you have, choice 1 will be fine. if you have not talked about the divorce yet and he thinks everything is fine, choice 2 is probably better.

    i hope you work things out!

    His two already separated, unless your long distance relationship greedy in their direction, he decided to go with you otherwise MannJede was a good decision that you want to stay with the guy again and if you Ihr”bald ex”isnt you, which is necessary for a relationship, then it also could be your ex wants. Although the circumstances between you and your ex is unknown, except for the fact that you havent been together for awhile, then it should be given a chance, but you abused their trust

  • teeman824 said:

    If you are divorced you don’t have to tell him anything.

  • MIKE said:

    tell him immediately. . . it is the best way to go

  • Scott M said:

    Yes, because he might be trying to hold on. My ex did that to me a year ago, and I was holding out hope. That was her
    Christmas present to me. I filed for divorce the next week. It sucked, but you aren’t doing anyone any favors by holding it in.
    But it also sounds like something else is going on here.

  • Barbi T said:

    First of all, I’m glad you found someone you get along well with.

    But, I don’t know that I’d say much if anything until you get to court and get that decree SIGNED by the judge, because until that judge signs your divorce decree, honey, you ain’t divorced. You don’t know what your soon-to-be ex might think or do if he finds out you’re already seeing another man.

    Or, he may already know it, and doesn’t care. In any case, I think I’d keep it still until AFTER your divorce is a done deal. You never know what might spark the fire so to speak.

    Good luck.

  • eldots53 said:

    I think that is a really BAD idea. Whatever would you want to tell him for? First of all, as long as you are still LEGALLY married, you are – still married, whether you are separated or not, so it could rebound to your harm in any legal proceedings if your husband wanted to make use of this information. Second, it sounds as though you just want to rub it in to your current husband’s face that you have “found happiness” with someone else. Be aware that you could just be on the rebound, and as much as you think your current squeeze is the greatest thing since a hot bath, it doesn’t mean this might not blow up in your face. I cannot think of any kind or meaningful reasons your husband needs to know, so I would recommend you keep quiet.

  • Angelita Amante said:

    Hm. Sorry to hear about the relationship with the soon to be ex husband. Well, i hope you’ve tried everything to mend the relationship but to no avail and I hope the other guy isn’t just some sort of escape from emotional stress but rather, someone you truly connect with better than your Husband.

    Anyway, just tell him that you are unhappy in the relationship and that things aren’t how they used to be (or something). You don’t have to mention the other guy. Just tell him how you really feel about YOUR relationship with HIM. After all, the main reason is because the marriage is suffering, no?
    If he asks if you’re seeing someone else, honestly tell him that you are. But otherwise, you don’t need to get into it.
    If he suggests you try marriage counseling in attempts to work it out, i suggest you do try. After all, you married him for a reason.

  • sarah B said:

    yeah tell him and perhaps introduce them. . you deserve to be happy and your ex has no right to know anyways. . . . SB

  • DAVE H said:

    u should have told him along time ago bet he thinks ur guna get back tagether ? u might not think ur playing a game but he sure does

  • D'Artagnan said:

    Well, as you´re talking about husband, I will tell you to tell him exactly how you´re saying. The best way of saying something is to say them directly, in the most sincere way you can. In that way you will not hurt too much the person.
    If there´s a chance to see your husband it will be better, but if there´s no chance Tell him as soon as you can.
    Anyway if you don´t want to break up with him, the relationship always must be sincere. ; and I bet you have told yourselves the phrase “if you find someone else please tell me” so remember it. And maybe he will change to not let you go.

  • tballbabe said:

    Tell him I’m sure he’s sleeping with other women whether you know it or not men won’t go that long with out sex, it might be a load off his mind to have rid of you. .

    bah humbug
    Hope this helps!!
    XOXO

  • mysty_1969 said:

    I am not sure what you mean by your soon to be ex. Does that mean you are married, still living together, and have not yet been divorced, or even filed for divorce? If so then I would be a careful about dating. When the information gets out, and it will, it could lead to some trouble for you when it is settlement time. If you have worked out the details of the divorce, are living apart, gone to the judge, and are now waiting for it to be final then I don’t think you need to share anything with ex.

  • poker_fan_in_nyc said:

    I am in the same situation as you but you are better off waiting till you are divorced because he could end up using it against you in court. . .

    Me and my -ex are friends and on good terms but still wouldn’t want anything to go wrong in the end. . .

    Just wait. . . plus he is the last person you need to announce anything too. . .

  • livingthe30s said:

    No way. If you want more drama and things that generate creat abot just create chaos in your life speak. Remember, you are on the way, not in the way that the old relationship and why you should stop and look back.
