What's Wrong With Sex With the Ex?

I take a dim view of having sex with the person you're divorcing, because it so often keeps one or both spouses confused about where the relationship is going. And let's be honest, who really wants a "pity poke," anyway?

For the same reason, I encourage former spouses who are considering remarriage to let sex be the last thing they introduce into their reunited relationship. If the two of you are meant to be back together, abstaining from sex certainly won't keep you apart. If this is all a big mistake and you-ll eventually wish you had stayed divorced, having sex together right now might lure you back together for the wrong reason.

Now, having said that, let me also admit that I have no illusions you're actually going to take my advice. After all, if you didn't listen to you mother, your rabbi or pastor, or Dr. Phil, what makes me think you'll pay any attention to me? I just think I need to call it like I see it. You're an adult. Now go do the right thing.
