[quote=Anonymous]Mine's as amicable as can be expected under the circumstances.  We've been legally divorced for almost 2 years, after a year separation and 5 years of marriage.  XDH and I get along fairly well, we regularly spend time together as a family with us and our 3yo DD (family outings or dinners). At first there was anger and resentment over how things went down (emotional distance on my end and his avoidance issues that led to his request for divorce when I was 6 months pregnant) and then the stress when DD was born. It wasn't great when we first separated, needed time to come to terms with our new normal, so at first we onyl saw each other when we swapped DD or had a DD-related gathering (daycare event, birthday, santa visit, etc.).  While we won't be hanging out one-on-one, we have no issue going on short weekend trips together as a family unit with DD or other small outings (lunch, santa brunch, etc.).

Thankfully neither of us have had to deal with a serious partner yet, so we'll cross that bridge when it comes. But we get along well now, having removed the pressure of the expectations of a husband/wife relationship or romantic relationship made it easier for us to be around each other when we don't expect too much of the other that they aren't willing to give.  We were good friends before we got together and should've stayed that way rather than force a romatnic relationship.
