[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one friend who regrets the divorce, but part of it is because she can't let go of the "what could have been".  To make a long story short, she divorced him because they basically lived like roommates who only ever talked if it had to do with their son.  They were both miserable.  There was no fighting or abuse or anything.  It was simply a falling out of love scenario.  So they divorced figuring it was a miserable way to live.

But because they didn't hate each other or anything like that, their divorce was amicable and dealing with each other post divorce was fine.  After awhile he got a new gf and she saw them at their kid's games/activities/mutually planned events and that's when the "what could have been" regrets started.  But the reality we try to tell her is that she has no idea what it would have looked like if the stayed together.   Sure now they can get on like friends and he's in a happy and healthy relationship, but if they stayed married I very much doubt they would get along this well. [/quote]

Plus step girlfriend has none of the burden and responsibilities of raising a child. If she does it’s a very ancillary role 50% of the time. So their relationship is easy peasy fun only. No real test like raising a child or going through a health scare. [/quote]
