Just wondering if people are able to maintain a friendship or keep respectful of each other after a divorce? I hear of people fighting and not getting along with their ex, but are there people out there who get along with their ex spouse?

It is possible to be friends with your ex....it took awhile after the divorce but I am on speaking terms with my ex and actually can say we talk more now than we did during our marriage about the kids and just friendly conversation....I even get along well with the new woman in his life...........It is all up to the two of you and how well you respect each other.

My ex husband and I are good friends. We talk on the phone, go out to eat, go fishing together, etc. We don't worry about what others may think, we're simply platonic friends and are perfectly content with that. We don't get up in each other's personal business or ask questions. We make better friends than we did spouses and sometimes that's the way it goes.

It's wonderful to maintain a friendship after a divorce, some people still fighting because.. .. they still love each other.. sorry about that, that's true

If or when I ever get divorced, she won't let me, I will probably still be cooking dinner for her. I doubt she would go to far. I'm a VERY good person, so is she.
I AM lookig for somebody else though. Should I go somewhere that I could, middle east maybe, become a mormon, not sure what to do. Iwant to maximize good things, minimize bad things. I need some more, and soon though.

I don't get along with mine. He is a user, abuser, liar, and cheater, among other things. I do not want or need to be friends with anyone like that.
Now, as for my fiance, he and I are both friends with his ex, especially for his 3 teen daughters sakes. If you have kids and aren't friends when they are around, then you aren't doing them any good. Actually, you are hurting them more than each other.

in the experience that your ex is bitter over the breakup, then provide them a while earlier you attempt to maintain on a friendship. Time heals all wounds, or so the asserting is going. Heartbreak won't be a wound that ingredient will heal. i do no longer confer with my ex in any respect. i do no longer even understand the place she is living now. each and every so often you in basic terms might desire to pass on and decrease your losses.

I am one of the Lucky ones. I was married for twenty-one years and we have been apart for eight. She has moved on to another but I have not. We live in separate states with her remaining in the one we were together in. She tends some of my business. Took care of my dog until he passed and pays for my storage.
I am and will forever be in-love with her and I do have stong feelings for another that I am hoping to hook up with. There will be nobody like Karen, ever. Each Love brings something different to you. Yes, we are still friends We talk on the phone regularly. No one is closer to me that she is.

The first couple of years it was touch and go, but for the last 10 it's been a joint effort with respect to raising the kids. Also dealing with health issues ect.

By remaining friends is the reason I don't have an "Ex." Been married, and friends since 1962

I got along with my ex wife good until she was on her second husband (after me) who was more interested in my kids than my ex wife. After that, no.
