Round, round & round you go; where things end, well, it's hard to know! The only thing that you can be certain of in this muddled up situation is the longer you two continue this not so merry-go-round of 'on-again, off-again’, the successively more difficult it becomes to gain any sense of clarity about the relationship.

It's fairly common for a recently broken up couple such as yourselves to meet at some point to settle a few last things. During this time you might do things like debrief about the split, or return each other’s belongings; but since you're both probably suffering from a shared sense of withdrawal, loneliness, horniness, whatever, having Sex With The Ex again is one of the most predictable outcomes possible.

As tempting as it is to get swept up in the renewed sexual tension - which, hopefully you realize, is just temporary - at some point you've got to figure out whether this is just a last time fling, or a sign that there's still something left between you. The only way you're going to figure this out is by: 1. talking to her about it, and 2. preventing any future hookups 'til you find out what's going really left between you.

Having one last hurrah is one thing, but going back and forth will not only become more frustrating as time goes on, it will suck you back into a relationship that was laid to rest not long before. Do yourself a favor and avoid meeting her anywhere that provides opportunity for sexual contact; in cases like these, sex will distract from moving forward and confuse matters more. Sure you miss the good side of her, sure you're feeling lonely - but that doesn't change the fact that there were reasons for splitting up.
