Freedomland Ahead

Being,
I understand all you've been through, and it sounds as if, as I said, the straw broke and you need to move on.

As far as the "friends" bit...isn't that what many MLCers on here ask? And the LBSers are left in disbelief.

I think it's a question that's often asked when one is not ready to let go all the way. If this is what you want, assume that no, your X will not be your friend. When people divorce, they generally go their separate ways. I suppose there are some people who can be friends, but I think there is typically too much history and it's not healthy for either person to remain attached.

Be fair to your STBX. Don't ask him to be friends. It is really a hurtful thing to ask.
