Someone posted that they can't get along with ex's. I replied but realized my experience can't be that different, can it? The what happened is: When my ex-wife remarried, I am the one who gave her away. Obviously there is more to this, but how many of you have had better relationships with your ex after splitting?
We split for a reason, best to keep it that way.
My relationship with my ex is still good, but I wouldn't call it better.
I get along "OK" with my ex husband. We've talked on the phone in the past. When Im in town, I've stopped by to say hello, but it's a very tenuous situation. He is a very sick alcoholic. And well, nuf said.
Never had a post-marriage relationship. Wife #1 was mentally ill and never lived independently of the mental health system after we divorced, and never had any interest in our children or me. Wife #2 died.
Now and again I hear of "amicable divorces". My present wife had one of those with her ex, until he remarried, and then the all-too-common dynamic of the jealous new wife played out and in no time at all she was embroiled in a nightmarish situation that I could spend pages writing about.
I would imagine that your situation is pretty darned rare ... and you should be grateful for it!
