Maintaining A Friendship With Your Ex Spouse After A Divorce

By George Williams

To many people, when a divorce must end, it has to turn to be a bitter divorce. Nevertheless, this is not always true. If you are experiencing a divorce, it is hard enough to cope with the pain of the separation, so why do you have to make it more painful than it should be?

Your divorce does not have to be a time of bliss and a bitter fight for both parties. Although right now, you may have a question like: what on earth have I ever found in him (or her)?, but do remember that it used to be a love you had for each other though it finally evolved into discontentment. Thus, there is no need for you to make the situation even worse. You could go through your divorce as painless as possible if you take this account into your consideration, caring the other side’s feelings.

So, dealing with the divorce as friendly as possible is advised. In case that you have children, how about inviting your spouse over for a family dinner once in a while. If you children like sports, sitting together and cheering your children, keeping a connection with your spouse .Wouldn’t this be a great idea for your children?

Divorce could never be easy, but mature parents after the divorce with a good psychological balance can keep a life time friendship with their spouse even after the end of the marriage. Regardless if you have children together, you should be always be be connected to each other.

If you have in laws that you actually love or if you were close to members of his or her family, you can try to maintain the friendship with them. However, you have to know when to step back, especially when you ex has already brought a ‘new’ partner home. You then have to respectfully remember your new position as his ‘ex’ only. Let the past go.

But, in case that you could not get along with your spouse’s family well, there is no reason to maintain the relationship with them even though you have children with your spouse. You can ask the course to mandate that your ex-spouse has to be fully responsible for all connections from his family where the children get involved.

And if your spouse is badly hurt due to the divorce which you begun, give him or her some times to get it over, just checking on him or her from time to time without giving him or her a false hope. And if you initiated the divorce, never try to stop the growing new relationship you ex may be having although you may experience unexpected feelings, such as jealousy and rage. Just keep in your mind that you have already chosen to be divorced.
