My divorce is going to be final in Jan of 2007 and I am ok with that because we have different goals and paths in life. We remain best friends because of our kids. I would love to get married again someday but would wait a bit longer on the enagement! My dad forced me to get married because I was 6 weeks pregnant with our first son Nathan. We didn't want to get married in the courthouse but we got no choice. I was only 20 at the time!

What about you guys?

Hi hi-

I've been through 2 myself and my Honey has been through his divorce. My first ex and I remain friends though not close friends. My 2nd ex and I don't talk at all. My Honey's ex and him are very close but I think that is because of the children.

TTFN...

I was married at 20 and divorced at 36.. we had 3 sons and we are now OK friends.. after all his new wife was my best friend.. we are civilised and he & my current husband are football fanatics ( for opposing tweams).. so that makes life interesting..

if you learn one thing from your divorce learn this.... only the people you love can hurt you... if you dont love him anymore, then he cant hurt you emotionally... that doesnt take into account children, but be strong. lay down the rules and just walk away if it gets too much.

I divorced my first husband in 2004. It was a friendly divorce and we are still on good terms. Our divorce was easy because we didn't fight about anything. He is great as a friend, not a husband. We have a 4 year old son together. It is great that we can get along so well because of that.

My fiance and I have both been divorced once. His was a long term relationship (21 years total, 8 years married) while I was only married for 8 months. He and his ex are still friendly and 'share' custody of their dog; I rarely ever speak to my ex.

I think divorce sucks. Luckily, neither one of us have kids so we didn't have to deal with that on top of everything else. I still feel a little guilty about marrying my ex in the first place. I think part of me 'knew' it wasn't the right thing to do but I did it anyway. I told myself at the time that my doubts were just stress or jitters. What BS, LOL!! Wish I would have listened to that tiny voice inside my head...!

I've been divorced 2 times and get along pretty well with both of my ex's, although I would never remain best friends with them because to me had I been able to remain their best friend I wouldn't have goten the divorce.

my finace has been divorced 2 times and well I won't go into those, but it's not pretty with his 2nd wife. his first he doesn't speak to at all.

i have to wait for the rest of my paperwork to get done before i can file the papers. and for some reason i can see my ex dragging his feet. he has done that the entire time since we separated when it has come to anything that i want to get done, but wants everything that he wants done quickly... :banghead:
