Why You Should Remain Friends with Your Ex -

Getting a divorce is a trying time for all involved. Of course you, the spouses, suffer enormously as living and financial arrangements undergo an earthquake of changes all geared toward that final split of the legal marriage bond and all that it entails. But remember that family and friends suffer too. And often mistrust and increasing hostility pervades the relationship to its Court Ordered end.
I know it is a hard thing to accomplish, but if there is any way possible, you should make every effort ( and I mean every self effacing, deprecating, conciliatory effort known to mankind) to part as friends. Why??? The reasons are numerous.
One: for your own well being. Hate, revenge, retribution, disgust, despair and general enmity are as destructive to your physical and mental state as fast growing brain cancer cells. Whatever caused the divorce, whoever is at fault, whether you wanted it to happen or not, once the decision is made, even if it is not a joint decision, try to accept that this is an unexpected and unpleasant curve in the roadway of your life, but that your life will go on. And going down life’s path happy and reconciled with the past is way better than being sad, bitter, remorseful and angry. Also life is just easier when you’ve chosen dignity and respect over negativity.
