Hi BA, I do not remember if I read the particulars of your situation or not. Were you or are you involved with someone? If so, how does that work or did that work if you were still hanging with your ex as family?

Yes SunForOne, I am not in a relationship and am not looking to get into one at this time. I am enjoying being single, and will occasionally go out with a male friend but am choosing not to pursue dating at this time. I do not believe my ex is seeing anyone seriously but I don't know for sure. There was at the very least an EA or two, and most likely a PA as well.

I understand that most couples are not able to remain good friends or friends at all and believe me it has taken me 3 and a half years and a lot of back and forth emotionally to get to this point of being detached enough to be friends-only with him successfully. I only know one or two couples in real life who remained good friends with their ex-spouses. Definitely not the norm at all. It is a strange place to be.
