6 Tips to Remain Friends With Your Ex After Divorce
4. Don’t be in touch with your ex on days that may hold memories of the past
Being friends with your ex after divorce doesn’t mean you have to be chummy and call each other on birthdays or any other important days like you used to when you were married. Don’t stay in contact with each other on such days. This will help you avoid digging up memories of the past. Steer clear from saying or doing anything that can remind you of your marriage to him.
5. Think of your child
If you have children from your marriage with your ex, you have all the more reasons to be friends with him after your divorce. You both must put aside your personal differences and think about the future of your child. Would you like your child to see his or her parents bickering and calling each other names? If not, motivate yourself to be friends with your ex-husband only for the sake of your child’s well being and upbringing.
6. Let your common friends take initiative
You and your ex-husband are likely to have common friends who you both may be keeping in touch with independently after your divorce. Get a common friend’s help in initiating a plain friendship between you both. You may feel uncomfortable picking up the phone to have a baggage free conversation with your ex-husband. Ask a common friend to get the both of you to meet socially.
