HOLA! All things work together for good...15

I was wondering, is it possible to be friends with our exes, in a healthy way?

Hope you don't mind me asking you guys, it just seems that your mindset is the one I'm aiming for in all of this. I'm sorry if it is not the done thing to ask a question about yourself on someone else's thread.

My H seems very keen to be friends with me, primarily for the sake of the children, but also I think now he has been finally honest with me after all these years about who he really is (and the fact that for him our marriage is over) it has introduced a friendship between us that we haven't had for a long time. I'm sad for what has happened, but also relieved, don't feel animosity towards him. Maybe it is just early days for us.

Is this something I should be aiming for as a christian? Or should I, like others have said, aim for just a civil relationship? I'm a bit confused...
