My wife and I were married almost 5 years. We simply got married too young and went in different directions as we grew into the world. We get along fine and have no bad feelings for each other. Any comments?

Yes, me and my ex-husband are best friends, even after we knew our marriage wasn't going to work. We learned, though, that new lovers didn't seem to appreciate our friendship. They didn't get it; there was nothing going on, we just liked eachother, like a brother and sister. When we got an actual divorce, our new lovers knew it then.

My comment would be "good for you" No reason why you can't be friends and get along. I think too many people relate divorce with hating each other but it is often as you said "You just went different directions" We are constantly growing and changing and sometimes couples just change too much in opposite directions to be happy together.

I think that it is a shame you couldn't have realized this before it didnt work, but I am in a similar situation, if you have children it is almost nessisary, the fact that you are able to with no obligation is a blessing, life brings us lessons and support in unexpected ways, hold on to whatever makes you happy, stronger, better, just learn from mistakes and enjoy life!

So what's the problem? If you both agree that there is no "bad blood" between you, then WHY NOT be friends? Nothing wrong with that! I wish you happiness in your new found friendship!!! Enjoy!

not weird at all. actually it shows alot about the kind of person you are, when you are in good standings with your ex-spouse. And they HAVE RESPECT for you after going through divorce.
sometimes it takes time to reach that point with an ex. but again nothing weird. at least not in my opinion.

No it isn't wrong. Just because it didn't work doesn't mean you should hate each other. But for some reason, some women think it does.

there is nothing wrong with staying friends....it is that "secure" feeling....did either of you re-marry? That kinda puts a spin on things...if you know what I mean...

Congratulations! You and her chose to not make things harder than they have to be. Sometimes people make better friends than they do as spouses.

no its not odd. its actually very admirable that you are able to stay friends *especially* if you have kids together.
