[quote=Anonymous]I’m similar to OP.  Ex cheated, so when we divorced I opted to keep all communication to just logistics about the kids.  No fighting, but also no friendliness or small talk. We don’t sit together at events for kids, but we both attend and it’s not an issue.

My ex was also not sorry for his cheating and never apologized or even seemed remorseful.  In couples therapy before divorcing (he was still denying the affair at that point) he would bring up totally bizarre things that he said were bothering him with our marriage, and I’d address them and change and then he’d just add more to the list.  My favorite was that he said I didn’t watch enough TV with the kids, because I didn’t know all the characters in their favorite cartoon.  One time, a therapist gave us a 1 page article to read and discuss during the week, and my husband insisted he “couldn’t” read it.  Like literally was incapable of reading.

Two therapists quit on us, saying that they couldn’t continue working with us because they found his behavior to be unproductive and abusive towards me.  As soon as I found irrefutable evidence of the affair, I initiated divorce proceedings.

He always wants to initiate small talk and act friendly, but I have zero interest in any relationship with him beyond shared custody. I’m still close with his family and they regularly spend half their time at my house when they come out to visit.  [/quote]
