I was a good ex-wife

When my son's father and I divorced, he did not handle it well, initially, but after a few years we got to the point where what we had left was just about our son, and that was good.

Both ex and I 'moved on' with our lives...I remarried, and ex got a live-in girlfriend who was very good to our son, and I never even attempted to badmouth her (OR my ex), as I knew first-hand how difficult it was to live with my ex, and he was a much more stable individual because of having her around. I just prayed that she wouldn't wise up and leave (though she could have done WAY better for herself than my ex.)

My ex was a lifelong alcoholic and when he died of the disease at age 43, it was truly devastating for our son. He's been gone a few years, now, but because I always treated my ex fairly when we was living, and never lied to our son about him, I was able to let the memory of him 'go' peacefully, and with no regrets... Son and I still to this day have good relationships with ex's family, and son sees them often.

I wish I could say that my husband's ex-wife had 'moved on' in such a way, but it's been 12 years and counting, and she never lets up an inch...*sigh*

  • The not-so-funny thing about it was I was a good WIFE to my ex, too, I just couldn't tolerate his drinking and the resulting abuse.

    In my experience, and those of the people I know, you divorce your ex for (at least ONE) good reason. So it makes sense that if they didn't have what it takes to be a decent spouse, then that doesn't mean they're going to magically grow some integrity and be a wonderful ex (though I imagine a few might.)

    why did you marry him????

  • I had no experience with alcoholics. I was unable to identify what was going on with him until I was already pregnant with our son. His family 'kept his secret' VERY well.

    Had I known he was an alcoholic BEFORE I married him, I would certainly NOT have married him. Once I realized the bad choice I had made, our son was already on the way, so I tried my hardest to make the best of the situation. But even my best couldn't make it tolerable.

    Hindsight's always 20/20, right?
