[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If kids are involved, do you ever reach a point where you are friendly/friends with your Ex-except when abuse was involved?what other reasons would keep you from being friendly even if you wanted to?[/quote]

No.  We will not ever be friends. I ended the relationship because of serious concerns about his honesty, his inability to put others needs above his own, his poor handling of money, his alcoholism and substance abuse and his emotional manipulation of me, including coercive control.

Why on earth would I be friends with someone I don’t trust and don’t feel safe with?

I grey rock him. I try to keep any communication in writing. I am polite, but I don’t go out of my way to do anything for him. I don’t share anything about my life with him. I am emotionally restrained and neutral at all times around him.

I think of him as an annoying colleague on a work project that I have to be careful to be very nice to but also document the hell out of any contact with him because he could stab me in the back at any time, plus I’m going to have to do his share of the work and fix a bunch of his screw ups.
