Leegh Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I would think it would be harder to get over your ex-spouse if you have children with them, knowing that you'll hear about your ex for years to come through the kids, and perhaps decades later may attend the weddings of your children, and see your ex. How do these people make peace with the fact that they have to hear about their ex spouse (through the kids), for perhaps years? This is not my situation, as I am not married and have no kids, but I have a friend with kids who was recently left by her husband.
lofi_tokyo Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 You just learn how to deal with it, I suppose. I don't have children, but I do have an ex who is very close with my closest friends - we met through the same friend group. This friend group is a decade old, we've all gone to one anothers' weddings, it's not likely to breakup any time soon. I'd miss my friends too much to stop seeing them - they're my support network, and they're my ex's network too. You just get used to a new dynamic after a while. It's by no means easy, but you do heal. I imagine its the same for those with children, shared workplaces, other family connections, etc.
