    While I don't hate my ex-wife, I made a decision to *try* to never talk to her again. Divorce is horrible and painful and can stay with you for a very, very long time. In my case I was just glad we didn't have children (after 8 years of marriage and 11 years together that's a miracle) because I can only imagine how hard that makes splitting up.

    I think every single divorce is different. There are simply too many variables to tie a nice, simple bow around anyones experience.

    Like I said, I don't hate my ex, but it's painful to even see her. She didn't cheat (that I'm aware of and want to believe) but what did happen was she and I both changed (not together), she kept her feelings from me and out of nowhere said she wanted to live her own life, do her own thing, and pursue a new career. Cheating isn't the only way to make a person feel badly or carry resentment. In my case I felt blindsided, shocked, and betrayed. Because of that, we can't be friends - we tried, really - it was simply too hard for me.
