Do you get Along Better with an Ex now That You're Apart?

Answer 1

No. He wasn't sure he wanted to be married(after 7 years and 2 kids). I felt it was best to set him free. Neither of us was getting what we wanted. I wanted a family.
Now he is a full blown alcoholic. Last time he came to visit he urinated in the kitchen sink! Can you believe that? He said all guys do it!! None that I know. He is bitter, always feels like a victim, disgusting. He is an engineer who worked internationally with good jobs until his second divorce and the booze. I'm glad he's not my problem. He won't be invited to visit again.

Answer 2

My X I spent almost 20 years with married a control freak. He has had to let go of every person he knew prior to her. He can't even have his first name in the phone book or an address as to where they live. Pretty sad, he was the only dad my sons ever had and he dropped them like hot potatoes, they were really hurt for a while. I have not spoken to him since 1993--our daughter will tell me how he is other than that no contact. My other x from years ago lives in DC with wife #7 his son hears from him but I no longer do. My last X was murdered in 2004. Guess we all get along fine now that we are seperated--yo ho! ;0)

Answer 3

Yes, very much so, we split because we just had to many differences,could not tollerate it anymore, but since we have been apart he still comes round to see if I need anything fetching from shops, takes the dogs out and we even go out for lunch sometimes and we can have a laugh, thing is, he saw this as a reason to get back together being we are getting on, so I quickly explained to him that the only reason we do is because we are not under the same roof anymore and if we got back together we would soon be back to square one, with all the bickering

Answer 4

Actually yes, we get along great. We share 3 grown children and 3 grands. He has remarried and on several occasions indicated to my grown children that it was a mistake. (guess I feel vindicated to a degree)

He is now a better communicator, but like GW he is 5000 miles away and it seems to be working JUST GREAT!

My son was recently married and the ex made certain I was afford ALL of the mom credit. (as my son intended all along).

So, it works well...his wife doesn't care for me and my children don't care for her, but like I said earlier, they were grown when we divorced. It's all good for everyone. (or else I'm delusional, and that's okay too!)

Answer 5

I get along well with my first ex-wife. We had a daughter together, and worked out custody and property arrangements before consulting attorneys. We still talk on the phone 14 years after our divorce. I never heard from or saw my second ex after handing over a car title, although I do hear from her bill collectors.

Answer 6

I say as far away from him as I can. With good reason.

My middle daughter, gets on well with her Ex husband, Last year, she paid for me to go back to South Africa, and we met him in the Chemist.(Drug Store?) His new wife had just had a baby, and he was given a list of all these women and baby things to buy. He was absolutely lost. So Justine went round and helped him get all he needed. Now, Justine, is a very beautiful person inside. She is beautiful looking, (was offered a contract by Vogue at 16), but passed it up under our advise. She has two degrees,and studying for another. Pshycology. Please will you all pray, that she find a wonderful husband. She really deserves one. No V's huh.

Answer 7

Friends call us the "Odd Couple", because we are some of the few, who have celebrated a 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary.

My answer to many of the younger people I know is," yes I have been married to the same good man for 50 years.

Shock seems to be a general reaction.

I have a great deal of empathy for those who have not been as fortunate as I have been.

Thanks for the question.

Answer 8

I'd only say "yes", in that I now don't have to have anything to do with him. He was a womaniser and a chronic liar when we were married, and is now living with some chickie-babe half his age, and embarrassing his kids and grandchild with his "hey look at how youthful and sexy I am these days" act. I can't believe I was actually ever his wife - gosh it was the silliest thing I ever did .
The only good thing about him is the fact that I never see him.

Answer 9

I have an ex that I married when I was 16 and we had two daughters. I haven't seen him ( nor have they) for 41 yrs. My 2nd husband and I were married over 22 yrs we had two sons. After a few years we became friends for the kid's sake.
Not real close, but friendly. He remarried after 15 yrs. Unfortunately he passed away four years ago.

Answer 10

If my wife was my Ex and we were apart, I would get along, so much better!

Go Figure!
