Would you let his ex live in your home?

What would you do if your husband or partner asked you to let his ex-girlfriend live in your home for awhile? Would you do it? What if they had kids together and he wanted everyone to live under one roof. To me, this sounds like he's trying to have it all, the ex and the new wife. But, that's just me! What do you think?

If I were the wife, I'd go wild of course! Then, if my husband insists on doing it, I'd leave him...at once. That will get the better of him. Imagine, to let his ex live under one roof with me, my children with his children with her? That's ridiculous...I am not a martyr nor an angel, so it's just but normal for any wife to freak out, unless she wants to be called a saint! Really, for me that's really going overboard, and no wife would ever allow it. But I know very few women might do it, but they are the exceptions rather than the rule. And I am not one of them. Never. For me, it's tantamount to emotional abuse...

I will say NO for sure. Luckily he never asked me yet. We only went to the same beach and sat down together or went out for a meal together two years ago. But my husband' ex is a very understanding person, she normally will make execuses though we invite her for a meal.

For sure I will give my opinion and be open about the feelings. Unless you are good friends with the ex, or previously your bestfriend. There is always exception, but its always your prerogative. Be open and talk to him with your howabouts. Don't pretend that its OK coz ok is never ok. Not that you are insecure with anything but explain to him that you want your lover for yourself alone.
