I thought HE was a friend actually.
Recently we were discussing something about the children.. I was giving him the heads up on their emotional state and how he should perhaps approach a situation that might arise.
I prefaced the topic by stating to him that I was NOT his Friend, nor did I want to be his Friend. This was not friendly advice to help him out and help him gain points, but information to benefit the children and help them deal with a emotional situation.
I was surprise that I told him He was not my Friend. I have no idea why I blurted it out. Some pent up emotion no doubt.
If you could be friends you would not be divorcing. Face the facts "friends" do not hurt friends
"call me sometime"
"I am fine"
" i don't mean to hurt you, that was never my intent"
maybe in time but I think it is more akin to " be civil" towards one another.. rather than friendship
That has been sadder than the demise of the marriage.
I don't think the average person can be friends with their ex right out of the divorce gate. It takes a lot of time and healing and growth to get to a point where you can make peace with the past and build a new relationship.
