I agree with Rob.

My X wife and I were best friends that got married. We were married for 15 years, most of which were pretty damn fun. I'm fairly certain that she feels the same way as I do, we enriched each other's lives in many ways, but things just kind of fell apart at the end for a variety of reasons.

I have no romantic interests in my life at the moment. I'm not sure I really want any. So far this month I have gotten together with my X a number of times, helping her move, going out to dinner, just going for a drive in the country. It's nice to have a friend to share a meal and a good laugh with. We had a good laugh yesterday when I slopped my bourbon-glazed pork chop all over my shirt. LOL.

I agree with Rob that life's too short. You could choke to death on a pea at your next meal. I have no time for nor interest in dragging around a bunch of anger and animosity toward my X.

Background: married 15 years, no kids, no infidelity, abuse, etc.

I'm sure that makes a HUGE difference in the ability to remain friends.
