So, my ex wife....whom I still love though she crushed me....bad..... wants me to help with and participate in the Halloween graveyard we have put on each year for the last 7 years...each one bigger every year. We seperated in may and she has told me that Halloween is ''our'' holiday and she would feel weird doing it without me. It is the last one as the house is for sale in November...she cheated and has shown me no remorse or interest, despite my every effort to interact with her....but tells me if we hang out n do this it would be a good ''start''. She still has the boyfriend....is she just trying to get me to do the graveyard building and setup, or should I try to start repairing what I fear is too broken?

Let her new boyfriend help her. She is just using you to get cheap & free labor. Don't help her. Come up with an excuse & don't help her. She doesn't deserve your help. Do you have kids with this woman?

From a women's point of view...If you're not completly over her...then it's not going to be good for you.

She moved on to someone else, and he's still around.
You, on the other hand,haven't completly moved on.
She will feel and see that and might take advantage then turn around and hurt you again.

My honest opinion--if she has shown you no remorse for her cheating--then, she will more than likely do it again.

She may have discovered that the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence--and her pride is getting in the way of admitting that to you and to herself.

But, in all reality--once that trust is broken--the relationship will never be as it was.

Just be careful with your heart--

Edited--If she is an alcohloc--she must quit because she wants to. Alcoholism destroys lives and families.

Ladies, I am appalled. Why lie to her? If it is something you want to do, than by all means do it. But don't do it with hopes of mending fences. She will see you as weak and know she can call on you anytime she needs a 'handy man'
If you really don't want to do it and are only considering it to get your foot back in the hallway, don't do it. And tell her the honest truth why.

If it were me, I'd do it. I'd do it because it would make my child happy. I'd do it because it's a way to gain closure. It is the last time you can ever do it, since you're selling the house.

I'd do it because it may be a way to end it once and for all for us.

She's holding out a carrot. She may mean it, and she may be holding it out to get you to do what she wants.

But just because you do it, doesn't mean she gets her way. You do it on your terms, and you enjoy what you can, and process the bittersweet part of it. In the meantime, you're giving your son a memory he'll have forever--of his two parents doing one last family tradition together for his benefit.

Can you do it without fighting?

Of course, this all hinges on whether or not you want to do it. And if so, why.

I so agree with you... Op if your doing it cause you want to ,then by all means. , but if your doing it thinking that you will have another chance, don't . You will get hurt ! She has moved on , she just needs the labor done , an what better way to get it done by you , cause she knows you still love her an will do just about anything for her.. Don't be made a fool!:

OP - Grow some balls, and cut all ties to the ex. My Exes are as good as dead to me, and they know they will be dead if they come around, and start harassing me with requests, BS claims of wanting me back, etc. Over is over in my book...one way, or the other. Your b*tch is using you, because you make it easy for her to do so, and she always will....as long as you are fool enough to let her. If you are such a pansy, take out a restraining order against the ex, leave the area, get some plastic surgery, change you name, change your phone number, and never contact her-or anyone she knows is involved with you in any way (your sisters, etc)-ever again. She will find it difficult to find you. Then, start a new life with someone new. Or just grow the balls, learn to use them, and let the B know that she had better stay away from you from now on.

BTW - If you ever find a new woman, how do you think she would feel about you getting together with your ex every so often, to do the things you used to do when you were an item together? That sort of thing would end a new relationship quick, you idiot.

She has a boyfriend and she wants your help.
Do yourself a favor and cut the tie now. Sure, I understand you still love her and you will always care for her but all you are doing is building false hopes that things will be like old times.
Been down that road, sleepless nights with your mind having endless visions . I held on over almost two years thinking things will be like they once were. Everyday you hold on is a day you are wasting being with someone that wants you.
Cut all ties , let go and never , I repeat never speak to here. She will quickly see your not her puppet or her security blanket.

You're a fool if you do!

In fact, you would be a fool if you opened a window for her to climb out of a burning building.

As for me, if I saw my ex in a burning building, I'd open a bag of marshmallows and grab a stick.

DONT DO IT

Show your son your strength in morality by not caving in to her just wanting to use you and have her cake and eat it too!

Obviously this woman treated you as less than what you deserved. Leave her be in the life she made for herself. You deserve better than her.

Repair what?

Let's look at best case scenario: You go over and through a series of happenstances and unforeseen interactions, she tells you she loves you and wants to be back together. Will you ever be able to trust her again? How secure will you ever feel in that relationship?

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. You've already been through a marriage with this woman. Doing it again would be insane. 15 years from now and you're both different people? Who knows. Not now.

Short answer: No, you shouldn't, but doing your own Halloween decorations alone might be good for the soul and moving on with your life, particularly if it was ya'lls 'thing.' Good luck.

If she cheated on you then asks for your help it should be common sense. Tell her to f**k off and completely cut her off. You don't need that two timing hoe in your life.

well even if you picked a sex addict woman who lies, cheats and steals ... just like Dear Old Mom ...

you made a baby with her .. and she is family FOREVER ...

so just for your child ...

make sure she is taken care of into Death ...

that your Son will not see his Mom .. Die homeless and alone in the gutter.

other then that ... let her f**k anyone she wants .. even her Dad or Uncle ...

She is like your Cousin or Sister who you do not have sex with and are family forever.

Treat as family ... who is a nasty c*nt slut wh*re ... and you have no judgment about the issue.

Go out and play .. have fun ... make your own life.

Find a woman who is a woman .. and not a little girl.

Then give your self to her .. she is the only one who touches you.

the hormones come up and the brain changes.

You become a man .. and stop being a boy .. who has magical thinking.

She has to FIX her ... you can't do it.

You can only fix you.

Welcome to Purgatory .. have to go through your pain to find your happiness here.

Don't do it. Cut all ties with her. She's playing games.
I agree. There comes a time to move on and do your own thing. Tell her you are busy. If there are kids involved just take them trick or treating instead. You need to let her go.

Quote from lovethelake17:
If it were me, I'd do it. I'd do it because it would make my child happy. I'd do it because it's a way to gain closure. It is the last time you can ever do it, since you're selling the house.

I'd do it because it may be a way to end it once and for all for us.

She's holding out a carrot. She may mean it, and she may be holding it out to get you to do what she wants.

But just because you do it, doesn't mean she gets her way. You do it on your terms, and you enjoy what you can, and process the bittersweet part of it. In the meantime, you're giving your son a memory he'll have forever--of his two parents doing one last family tradition together for his benefit.

Can you do it without fighting?

Of course, this all hinges on whether or not you want to do it. And if so, why.


I agree, this is by far the best advice.

I'd add one admonition to it, for your own sake. Recognize that her asking you to help with this, is all of a piece with the rest of her total-self-centeredness. She wanted a marriage AND a screw around lover, she wants a divorce AND a willing helper to perform tasks for her. Everything in your description of events, points to non-stop user behavior on her part.

The thing you need in general on your own side, is to work on guiding all of your life, to living according to your OWN best interests (which includes caring for your child, since your child is important to YOU). Therefore, make the decision to do this entirely without any regard for whether she will or wont feel that she got a freebie from you, or whether she got to continue to live her personal fantasy life or not. Just don't let yourself be fooled into thinking there's anything more to this than her enjoying herself on her own selfish terms. It's what she's all about.

Let her new boyfriend help her. She is just using you to get cheap & free labor. Don't help her. Come up with an excuse & don't help her. She doesn't deserve your help. Do you have kids with this woman?

I agree. Sorry OP that you got hurt. You need to heal now.

So, my ex wife....whom I still love though she crushed me....bad..... wants me to help with and participate in the Halloween graveyard we have put on each year for the last 7 years...each one bigger every year. We seperated in may and she has told me that Halloween is ''our'' holiday and she would feel weird doing it without me. It is the last one as the house is for sale in November...she cheated and has shown me no remorse or interest, despite my every effort to interact with her....but tells me if we hang out n do this it would be a good ''start''. She still has the boyfriend....is she just trying to get me to do the graveyard building and setup, or should I try to start repairing what I fear is too broken?


Tell her to get her "Boyfriend" to help her. She is the one that cheated, so let her suffer.

Don't do it! Tell her Yeah it is weird and it is no longer "our' holiday, because "we're" no longer together. Sounds as if she's just trying to use YOU!

That's a smart chick above me, but she misspoke.

She meant to say let Mr. Downgrade help her.

If u have kids together...do it. Its kind of a peace treaty n your kids will have a good memory of u two n their home before its sold. If u dont have kids...dont! Easier to let it go

You answered you're own question... It's broken don't try to fix it.But as far as the Halloween decorations go what does your son want? You say he lives with you.So he doesn't live with her what's the purpose in decorating? So you can be around her in hopes she will want you back? If your not doing it for him then don't do it. .

I still don't get why people want to be subjected to going back to their exes. You two broke up for a reason and you need to move on. Don't play into this mind crap that she wants you there. You want to get used and screwed again. Go for it. If you don't cut your ties.

hey....i want to thank ALMOST everyone...lots of seriously good advice...both ways...i have helped, and my son helped...i am going a couple nights this week to finish up, too....i figure like this...we are tied together , like it or not, forever...we are family. my son, at 14 has a huge lesson about being a man to learn here.....when the person in the world you love most hurts you , you got 2 choices....hate them and poison your heart, or forgive them best you can, and show them kindness....hate takes too much work. we wont be getting back together, but we will be friends for life. thanks again...when it is done i will post pics!
