I'm happily married with an amazing, supportive husband.

my husband read this exchange in my facebbok messages and wants an answer as to why i had this conversation. the bit i'm struggling to deal with, and that my husband cant understand, is that i dont know why i did. i love my husband unconditionally, i am not attracted to this ex, nor do i wish our relationship had gone further. i have no desire whatsoever to cheat on my husband at all. but my husband wants answers, and i dont even know what those answers are myself.
please help!

Without putting a ton of thought into my reply... my initial response is to say you and your ex have history. Yes, it's over, but you DO have a shared history. Your husband may be feeling a little threatened by this contact. It appears, though, you didn't hide this exchange from your husband which ought to speak volumes to him about your intentions. Deception'd be a problem. If your husband didn't know about this, then, I'd say you both need to worry.
I dunno... maybe try asking your husband if he has any sexual good times from his past that he'd like to repeat, or any wild desires he wants to experience. And/or... ask yourself the same questions. And, consider which man are you most likely to reveal your answers too..?
I'm not making any judgements, here. Asking... or brainstorming.... in order to provoke my own thinking on the situation, really.
