He may be asking you to do little things for him so he can judge how really important you think an R with him is. My ex has asked me to do many things for her, and I do it willingly, I think it is a way for them to establish contact and hopefully to beging building trust. Anita, please leave the OM alone, it may be painful to break up at this time of year, but come on, you should have allready made him aware that you do not want an R with him, that you desire to be with your H. If he doesn't understand this, then you definetly need to make him aware of it now. How would you H feel if you two get back together and OM is still in the picture?
