~I'm not the man, but I would hope that there is a special place in his heart for me as there is in mine for him.
We won't get back together or even trust each other again, but you can't just forget.
I think for my ex, it impacted his new relationship. He had expectations that I couldn't fill, but she could, that's why they married. He did love her, but I don't think it was the same.~

I think he would still be fond of his ex regardless of keeping in touch. People rarely forget how they felt on their wedding day, before it all became too much and went down the tubes...
Divorce can affect future relationships in different ways. Depending on what the prior marriage was like and how much baggage he came away with, will be what the new relationship will have to withstand. He may be extra-defensive of "his" time if he was rarely allowed out, have a suspicious nature if the ex cheated, but you can bet that whatever went wrong in the first marriage he will try to avoid at all costs with the second relationship.

As you well know, every situation is different and every person is different. I'd bet anything that isn't the answer you were looking for, huh?
I can only speak for myself so, here you go:
Even though my exwife lied, cheated, destroyed me, etc., I will always have love in my heart for her. I find it hard to believe that anyone, if they were completely honest, could say that they do not have some sort of love for their ex spouse. For me, it's much like the love I feel for my first love/highschool sweetheart. It's not an active love. Rather, it's a special place in my heart for all the memories and lessons learned. Does that make sense?
As far as how it will impact his relationship with another woman, it truely varies for everyone. I have 3 very close friends whose wives left them, and 2 out of 3 of them it does not effect at all. However, for the other one and myself, it does impact our future relationships.
Once again, I can only speak for myself. For me, I will be able to love, care, trust and marry again. However, it won't be the same. I really don't know exactly how to explain it to you. I guess the best way to describe it is that I will never again be able to give 100% of my heart away again. There's an old Merle Haggard song entitled, "It's not love, but it's not bad." That song really sums up my feelings. You should check it out.
I wish you the best.

If you have ever loved someone enough to marry them, I don't care how many years pass by, you never forget them. It's impossible to forget a person that you have shared a part of your life with. You may not love them as you once did, but you can forget them, it's just not possible. If there is still love between them and they are divorced, there has to be a way to quell those feelings so they don't interfere with the new relationships. Nothing can ruin a new encounter more than a love from the past.

Depending on why the divore took place and how things were resolved I think that you would still not necessary love the ex, but there would be feelings there. Whether these feelings are love or not it's hard to say. However if you had children together then you would love your ex because of them.
However if you still love your ex then this will impact your new relationship because you are not giving everything to the new relationship, because you are still habouring feelings.
However if you don't love your ex, or there is something there, then going into a new relationship will be scary, because you don't want it to end the same way.
Eventually you will forget the ex, but like everything it all take time

It depends on the prior relationship. We all hang on to good memories, regardless. It doesn't mean that she has a place in his present life. Just in his past

It depends on soooooo many factors that I don't think strangers on an answer board would be able to accurately answer your question.
