Better off friends than lovers
My ex-husband, his wife, and I are great friends, but it wasn't always like that. For the first several years after our divorce, I wanted nothing to do with him. He had done some things to me that I couldn't forgive, but eventually I did. One day his wife sought me out, asking questions that sounded familiar because they were the same questions I once asked myself about him.
Seven years later, we all talk about everything and anything. I thank God that he made that possible, because as it turns out, he has become a great listener. Something he was terrible at when he and I were together. I'm glad he's changed, because he has great woman by his side and they are about to have twin boys. I am excited for them!
Moral of the story, sometimes lovers make better friends than lovers, or spouses. Don't be afraid to reach out to exes, because you may find that they do have the answers to your questions and may be able and willing to help you, like I was. You'll never know until you talk to them. People can and do change.
