Weigh in and tell us if you forgive or not forgive this True Confession.

"I had a sex dream about my ex-husband last night. He's better in bed than my current husband, but that's the only thing I miss about him. After four years being apart, I can still remember how it felt to have his hands caress my body and I miss it. He was more romantic and the sex was better and more frequent. Now I'm with a man who is OK with just a quickie once a month. I love him, but I feel like I went from one end of the spectrum to the other — I miss my ex."

    Forgive - Nothing wrong with missing quality sex as long as there are no emotional attachments. Work on improving sex with your current husband. Teach him how your ex use to touch you and talk about the romance factor. He doesn't need to know where the technique is coming from (spare his insecure male ego). If he loves you he should be open to having sex more frequently. A sex dream doesn't have to mean anything, if anything take it as a wake up call to work on your sex life before you really become dissatisfied and maybe your husband will learn to like something other then a quickie, show him your foreplay skills.

    forgive. nothing's wrong with missing good sex as long as you don't act on your feelings towards your ex. Talk to your current husband about your desire for more sex and see if you can't get things cooking in the bedroom (ugh I just grossed myself out by saying that, my mom says that). But seriously, I think you'll find that a lot of those feelings so away if you start putting some effort into improving your current sex life.

    Forgive ... there is nothing wrong with missing good sex, and wanting it more often ... maybe you can try to spice things up in the bedroom with your husband ... wear something sexy, get him into the mood, and once he starts enjoying it he will want it more too

    Nothing wrong with that. Whatever you do, DO NOT TELL YOUR CURRENT HUSBAND. Just simply try to spice things up in the bedroom, or discuss the need for increased passion. Your current husband should make you not want to sex anyone else up but him. The lack of intimacy is probably what sparked this dream perhaps. =| lol...nothing

    There's nothing wrong with missing good sex. But if sex is an issue with your current husband and a big deal to you, then he might not be the right guy for you either. I know I don't know everything about the relationship, so I don't want to say you shouldn't have married him or anything. But you should definitely sit down and talk to him about sex. Don't mention the dream about your ex, but try communicating with your husband about what you want.

    Nothing wrong with missing great sex. There is something wrong with marrying a man that doesn't satisfy you if sex is important to you. That is what you have to worry about now. Talk to your husband.

    Laughing out loud I never dream about my ex-husband. I dream about certain male celebrities I've never met. That's only because I have no sex life! LOL
    Forgive. I think that's normal. Love is so much more than sex anyway.

    but you don't have to tell your current husband. Don't damage his pride. Just be proactive like someone said- try to change things up.

    Totally forgive.
    My suggestion is the same as others here - work on making your current sex life better!

    Forgive.

    Just as long as you're not robbing your current relationship with emotional and physical attachments to your last one (which it doesn't sound like you're doing), it's okay to miss that.

    But like everyone else said, definitely try talking to your husband about making your sex life with him better, since it seems like you're not satisfied. Maybe get some ideas from your fantasies to implement in real life! Smiling

    * I don't think that the sexual chemistry between any two people is the same, so it's important not to try to force it to be *exactly* as it was before. You can make something completely new (and maybe even BETTER than your ex!) with your husband now!

    Definitely forgive. Its not like you acted on missing good sex lol...just talk with your hubby. I mean don't say "hey honey...I've been having crazy sexual fantasies about my ex" lol...tell him you would love to be more intimate with each other and your sexual appetite can handle sex a couple times of the week instead of just once a month!

    Forgive on missing great and thinking about an ex -- it could happen to anyone.

    Not forgive if you don't communicate with your husband on needing a better sex life. This is totally in your power to change it. And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind if you suggested going at in longer/more often/in different ways. Take control here; it'll be worth it. Don't dwell on your ex's sex habits, focus on how to work with your husband on some new tricks!

    It's pretty common I think to miss the good stuffs about your past relationships, I don't think it's necessarily because you're still in love with your ex or whatnot.

    The only thing I miss about my ex and sex is that he's more willing/adventurous but other than that, no.

    I also think that you miss sex with your ex partly because of your sex dream (hehe), and that you're not having as frequent sex as you used to and it's not as satisfying.

    Address the matter in hand, find out how you can improve...and if your current hubby can't give you more sex (for health reasons, it's possible), start having fun with yourself Eye-wink

    Missing the ex is one thing. Missing the sex with the ex is something else. Luckily, my ex and I are great friends now, and can laugh and joke openly about the sex we used to have. It wasn't neccessarily better than the sex I'm having now, just different. However, if you're still having dreams about sex with your ex, then you need to think about why.

    Forgive!

    You can't help what you dream about and plus it's natural to crave something that's better than what you have now (ie the quality/frequency of the sex). Just as long as you don't plan on acting on it there's no harm in dreaming about it or missing it.

    Some men are good lovers and some arn't good lovers...some you can train some you can't.

    ask urself one thing:

    would YOU forgive if it was the other way around?

    anyway, don't forget that you chose to be with him and love him for many other reasons than just sex..and try to enjoy and tell him(subtly) or guide him to what you feel u want and like.
