Thanks Andrew. I have a history of being friends with exes. The only one I’m not friends with is my XH and that is because of how disrespectfully he ended our marriage. If you give each other enough space and time to move on and you treat each other with respect, it’s actually not that hard. Jack is struggling because the rest of his life is so challenging right now. He knows, and said so, that he couldn’t be with someone my age who has kids long term. Sooner or later, those two things will start to matter more. However, he probably would have wanted to stay with me longer than what I wanted. He says he loves me a lot in spite of our incompatibilities so he is feeling the loss. But he will get past those feelings and once he does, I think we have a really good chance of being friends. Time will tell I guess.
