no respect whatsoever, I can't respect a person who knowingly lie and hurt people only for their own selfish gain.

Must say I am still good friends with my ex and her new guy Not easy first of all but if you can get your head around it I think it very good for the child or children of the union.

Good to hear Mossop ,

Breaking up is a hard thing to do but unfortunately some couples only grow together so far.


It was a lot of work but My last few separations went smoothly and we remained civil to each other, I wouldn't say we are "Friends" but we parted on a good note and wish each other no ill will.

Its about you and her...Not the family ! But if she was doing drugs is she ever going to come off them ?

I didn't respect him when we divorced 10 years ago, but I do now.

He's turned his life around, and is a great dad to boot. drinker He remarried and we are all one big happy family.... laugh

Agreed! We have 5 kids so it was great we are now able to get along and include each other in important family gatherings. :tongue:

My ex and your's must be related. He is the most self-centered person I've ever had the misfortune of knowing. It's a shame.smokin

I'm probably going to sound like a complete loser. lol.

I respect my exes. Granted, they all have hurt me, be it cheating, lying, or something along those lines, but I forgave them because the people they are now aren't the ones they were when I was with them. I respect that they have grown up and realized their mistakes and that's something that is hard to accomplish.

Hell, I still keep in contact with some of them. So, there are times where exes can still be friends.

no.


I used to try and do everything I could to help her with visitation (all she has is supervised visitation),to include lettig her stay in my home on weekends, with a neighbor supervising while I am at work.
She turned around and claimed I was harrassing her for sex, and offering unsupervised visitation in lieu of it.
I have a police report out against her boyfriend/fiancee for threatening me inside walmart (with witnesses to the fact), and I have emails from him threatening me again and doing his best to intimidate me. She has broken court orders for child support, and to not have her boyfriend involved in our relationship in any way (to include traveling with her when she visits)

That's a really good point you made. Yes, there are some of mine who have grown and changed for the better also. Sometimes things aren't meant to be. But the guy I just broke-up with is 47 yrs old and I doubt if he'll ever change.:cry:

It's hard to have respect for someone who doesn't respect others.

My ex died, at age 22.But, before she died (she never told me she was sleeping around with four other guys.) I was always kind to her though. (I would always tell people to be kind, in any area of life.)
