Think my partner still in love with ex wife?

[lovels7]

We recently had a funeral and my partner ex wife attended, I haven't witnessed their interaction much ij the time we've been together because usually I'm not included (meeting with kids, kids are in 20s)

I saw them embrace for a very long period where at the end of their long hug they were staring in one another's eyes and holding hands like in the marriage pose, both hands right in front of one another.

The scene was awkward for me, I didn't want to say anything because of the scene which this embrace happened when they greeted and then when they departed one another, it's like no one else was in the room.

I felt like a fish out of water as when she turned up I kinda got ditched, but I understand the situation and feel for grief and respect grieving.

A couple of days later he took his son to see the ex mother in law (grand mother) they spend the day there, chopped firewood for her and took her out for dinner, she gave him a knotted beanie.
My partner best mate lives down the road, so I don't understand why he needed to stay and spend all day there too.
This is all seeming to werid and has overwhelmed me, I feel like there is unfinished business and my heart feels broken.

Interested on other perspective in this situation.

Don't you think you ought to factor in that this was all taking place at a funeral?

Emotions flare up when someone dies. You have no idea what kind of impact that death could have had on them.

Their relationship didn't work out. Of course they love eachother on some level. They had kids together. But if you don't want to end up like them, stop taking their "unfinished business" so personally.

Like you knew he had a wife when you got with him right? Don't you think it's silly to expect him to have no personal connection with her? What kind of man would he be if he didn't? That's the mother of his children.

The more I think about this the more absurd it sounds to me.

Your responsibility to eachother as a couple is to support eachother. For your man that might mean sitting back and minding your own business, it could mean getting him to open up about it. Either way you need to squash these feelings because they're going to be poison to your relationship.

Thanks for your opinion, I appreciate your view and it has given me food for thought.
You're right I am wrong for the relationship to feel this way, they have a connection and the right choice for me is to walk away and let them see where they can take off as the love is still there, seeing what I saw and felt was important as it shows I need to set him free.

Set him free? Wait are you saying this is enough for you to end the whole relationship?

I think first love is the most memorable. if she was his first love, it's give you to do your thinking

Thanks for your opinion.
She wasn't his first love, he meet her in 20s and then they married and had two children.
