You can get past the matrimony and the acrimony. How to be friends with your ex-husband. This
is Dr. Paul, author of "Boomer Girls! A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating" and host
of "Ask Dr. Paul." Yes, you can be friends with your ex-husband. Get over the acrimony,
the divorce is final. You're there, he's there, and guess what? You still can be friends with
him because he may be able to help you and you just don't want to be friends because
he can help you, because you can still be friends. You were friends at one point in
time. Just because you're not having a relationship, just because you're not living together -
maybe you can't live together- doesn't mean that you can't get past the acrimony and get
involved as friends. You don't have to be friends that you're going to the movies or
something, but you can be friends in terms of being able to communicate with that person,
and if you have a problem or if he has a problem, you can chat about it. That's pretty important.
You may have children involved too, and maybe it's going to be easier for them to see that
as well. This is Dr. Paul. May your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow.
