Lexygirl Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I know everyone's situation is different and divorce is painful no matter how you slice it BUT I wanted to let ppl know that it IS possible (and very probable) to come out the other side ~ happy. Life is all about choices. My ex husband and I have chosen to change our dynamic from EXes to friends. It's actually kind of strange but at the same time it helps to ease the transition for all of us. We have both gone through the stages of grief and have come to the acceptance stage and that is the goal ppl should reach for when there is a separation/divorce. I guess my point is... life DOES continue after divorce for everyone involved and you can view it as a learning experience or you can stay stuck for longer than you should..... I choose to move on and live ! Like I say, the best thing to do is realize there are stages of grief to go through (google it) and this knowledge helps to move us forward. I went back and forth between the stages so many times (which is also normal)... BUT now that I realize him and I both have gotten to the acceptance stage, I feel like it's all going to be ok.

marqueemoon4 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 You seem to have a decent, non-sociopathic ex... not all of us are so lucky.
