Divorce and Friends?

I was wondering for all the ladies who have divorced with children...are they friends with their ex? My DH of nearly three years has decided that he never truly forgave me for cheating on him twice before we married (the last was 3 years before the wedding). I love him with all my heart and wish that he would try to work this out but he feels that he can not be intimate with me or live miserable and unhappy and wants to stay friends and divorce. He wants to live with friends so he has no rent and can still pay the household bills until I can afford it on my own with child support and alimony...how do I still be friends? I still want him emotionally and physically...I don`t know what to expect or do...the person I want to spend the rest of my life with has shattered me.

luvbeingamom - 948 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My husband and i separated this past february and though we still struggle through some issues (which tends to the same ones we struggle with in marriage) we have remained friends. We actually just spent the day together with our kids and my father at the pool. It has been easy for us to stay friends b/c we had/have lost all passion in our relationship. There is no emotions between us when it comes to sex, lust and passion. We are now better friends then a year ago. In your situation, if you really truly want to be friends you will have to put your feelings aside, which is VERY hard to do. Remaining friendly for the sake of your children is a much easier task and given time, you can get to a friendship from there. Just think hard before you speak (which in the heat of anything, is difficult to do), don't hold grudges on the small things. If you need an ear let me know. It is a hard road ahead but believe it or not, it will get better and you will be stronger for it.
