Why Is My Ex Acting Like We're Still a Family? 🤔

So, here's my weird reality: my ex and I are sharing our house, co-parenting our kids, and trying to act normal after his emotional affair turned into a new relationship. It's been five weeks since everything changed, and yet, sometimes it feels like nothing has. Just yesterday, I found those old love song CDs he made me—ones I threw away in a fit of anger—hidden in his desk after I tossed them in the trash. Why keep them when he has all the playlists saved? And then, he wanted us to walk our son to his first day of school together, chatting about old memories like we were still a team. At the park, he didn't even tell the other parents we were separated. I'm stuck between wanting to keep things peaceful for the kids and feeling like I'm living in limbo. Is he just being friendly, or is he sending mixed signals? Has anyone else felt this confused by an ex? Please tell me I'm not alone in this mess! 😩 #coparenting #familydrama #mixedsignals #FamilyRelationships
