[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some exes are friends.

My ex and I had a nasty divorce, and are not friends by any means, but will chit-chat here and there about topics other than the kids.  We are forced to have a relationship so best to make the most of it.[/quote]
Then why not stay married and work out your issues? [b]Friendship is the basis of a good marriage.[/b] Why divorce just to continue carrying on?[/quote]

Friendship is a necessary but not sufficient requirement of marriage.  Would you marry every friend you have?

Your question comes from a frankly old-fashioned, sexist perspective that men and women cannot be friends without sexual interest.  [b]I have a lot of male friends, but I have zero interest in any kind of intimate relationship with them [/b]- sometimes I'm not physically attracted, know their communication or attachment styles don't meet mine, dislike their financial priorities, know we want different ls in life or to live in different places.

There are a million reasons why people can be good friends and not be suitable for marriage.

In fact, I would be more worried if an ex-wife wouldn't talk to an ex-husband - that would be a signal that something went pretty wrong.  [/quote]

This would only support your argument if you were male.

[b]Op, plenty of people regret divorce.[/b] [/quote]

THIS. Talking several times a week after divorcing, especially when the kids are adults is a sign that there is still something there btwn the two of them. [/quote]
