One more love affair is over, but it’s still not the reason to quit the relationships of any kind with your ex. You should only find out what kind of the relationship it could possibly be....heart wings

Why, if the relationship was founded on friendship, can it not return to friendship. I was engaged at 19 to my then best friend, we split up after 2 years, but we have remained friends ever since, we chat and email every month, have supported each other through our lifes ups and downs, I would never lose her as a friend just because I was entering a new relationship.

I'm a strong believer an ex is an ex for a reason. Any further positive relationship w/ them is in my opinion, a waste of time.

First of all make sure that there’s no love left neither from yours nor from his side. Do you want to start it all over again, try to fix or to avoid the mistakes? Do you think of him over and over again, remembering only the good moments? Probably you still cry about him, feel jealous to his new girlfriend, especially if they look such a nice couple. When you both meet you feel such a hysteric joyfulness which turns to be only frustration after you part. You keep telling everyone even your best friends that it’s over. Your are afraid to confess even to yourself that you are seeking for a way to get him back all the time. You aren’t yourself anymore, you’ve given up everything that’s been important and interesting to you before. Well this is the case when there can’t be any relationships with an ex although it may seem to be exactly what you want....
yay

The only thing my ex is to me, she's the mother of my two boys, that's it. When I see her, I say as little as possible.

She showed her true colors when she gave me the boot because she couldn't deal with my having a heart problem. Then again when she gave me custody of our oldest son a year later because she couldn't deal with his ADHD.
For the first couple of years I had our son, I can count on one hand how many times she made an effort to see him. She didn't start doing anything until he wanted his drivers license and payed for his drivers ed which I was against as I felt he wasn't ready for it.
Our youngest has two more years of high school left. Once he graduates, I believe he'll leave because of his step-father. He hates the guy. Once this happens, I won't have to deal with her anymore.

Do I hate her, no. I could care less about her.

Thanks for the support. I am sure he and I will remain friends even after our daughter is all grown up. There are ALOT of people that think I'm nuts for keeping in touch with him. Actually most of our conversations don't even involve her.

Relationships with ex's is like opening the refrigerator and tasting the milk and it's spoiled...then putting it back thinking: maybe it will be good tomorrow.

Beautiful that you have that, Riz. I have to say that if I ran into my first husband somewhere, we would want to have a civil conversation and didn't part enemies. I can't say that of my third husband. My second is the father of my sons...and refuses to remain civil with me despite the children. Thankfully, they're almost grown up, and fast approaching an age that they can drive themselves wherever they want to go. I won't have to deal with him much longer.

And yes, here parents take classes to teach you not to put the kids in the middle, and he totally ignored everything they said. sigh

Too much ego.

The sentimental fool dont see
Tryin hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life

What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Theres nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees

My relationship with the ex wife is pretty close at the moment.She is suffering what hopefully is a short term but at the moment quite debilitating thyroid problem which untill treatment kicks in is causing a massive strain on her heart as well as other complications.
And having waring 11 and 13 year old hormonal girls to deal with is not helping it much.
Things can be very strained after seperating but once the dust has settled Were kids are involve especially I believe that both ex's owe it to each other to be supportive as your able to be.
But I do recognise that it is not always possible.

I've been separated for almost 6 months. I tried to keep it friendly and trying to help her with the transition. But the same old lies still continue, and I end up getting screwed. We have no children. I believe in my case, it's time to move on. And I am, and so is she.
