continually help his ex-wife with things around her house? Little things like hooking up a stereo? Even when she told him not to bother she would find someone else he insisted on doing it anyway! If he is like this now - how will he react when he finds out she is seeing someone else? Is it possible for a man to be happy with one woman but still want to maintain contact with this ex - for reasons other than children?

an ex is an ex by saying that! I mean there's never going back
what's its over it's over. But, he sounds like he does not want to burn his bridges, does not want his ex- to start depending on another man. So that he can come back, if he changes his mind. Who ever the other woman is better beware and be prepared this man is not looking at their relationship as permanent. Also I can guarantee you that this ex- will come back and if taken back he will be very sorry for the mess up he did in the first place by leaving his wife. Reason for this is all doors will be open for the ex- wife to find her true Soul-mate if he gives her a chance and the room to grow. And maybe to learn that there are other men who can fulfill her needs better and love her only to never have a thought of ever cheating on her. And to finally answer the last part of your question as far it being possible for a man to be happy with one women but still wanting to maintain contact with this ex- other than for the children. The answer to this is for some men NO!

Wait, wait hold up here. Maybe he is just a good guy and there are no ulterior motives. Just because a relationship ends doesn't mean you have to be cold and bitter about it. I think that shows good character, responsibility, and love. Sharing love is a special thing and it's not always "all or nothing".
We should be grateful to have shared love and life with someone and show our appreciation by being kind. Most relationships should end with respect, consideration, an appreciation; be cautious of people when they talk badly about all their ex's, they are usually blamers, faultfinders, and victims, never fully appreciating their shortcomings.
Being bitter, critical, and judgmental only hurts your spirit-man. Don't pollute your well with negativity, be the bigger person and end your relationships with some dignity and class even the other person chooses not to!

I would say he is feeling guilty about leaving her for another woman. And when another man comes along he will feel better and, will stop doing all those things for her......But, if they have kids then he is better off being friends with her....

i think guys can be good mates with an ex.. but, for sure 100% at one time or another, one of them will want a little more

he wants to remain on good terms with u just in case his new relationship turns sour. maybe he feels guilt, maybe he is just a nice guy who still feels obligated to his ex. he may think he is going to get something fro his trouble.

yes, I think it is possible to maintain friendships with the ex.
But all people are individual.
I would think that he is either a very giving, caring person
or
he is hung up on her.
You know your man... trust your gut.

That is just his childish way to deal with the guilt. Don't let him get away with it.
Good luck.

Yep. It's possible.
There may be a lot of unfinished business there.
