I haven't been on TAM for awhile, but am looking for some advice on dealing with the ex after divorce. My XH and I separated in September 2012 and the divorce was final in March of this year. There was a lot of back and forth during the separation period where we entertained reconciliation several times, but ultimately he was unable to be faithful and I grew tired of being plan B.
Although it was a difficult time, I am proud of the fact that we have managed to maintain some level of friendly relationship and throughout the separation had continued spending some family time together with our kids. However, I am dating a new person and really feel it is time to truly cut any remaining ties with my ex that don't relate directly to us co-parenting our 2 kids (D-14, S-9). Additionally, I feel it is confusing my youngest to see us spending time together and making him feel that there is hope for a reconciliation.
Do any of you keep a friendly relationship with your ex and continue to spend some family time together (occasional movie or sports event)? If so, does it make it seem harder for you to move on and heal from the divorce?
Thanks for any input you can provide.
