The most common reasons for divorce include infidelity, addiction, financial conflicts, and basic incompatibility.   My divorce was not for any of those reasons, and precisely the reason that my ex and I have been able to forge a friendship. In this episode of Make Him Wonder, John and I take a look back at the how and why of our parting, and I round it out with some stats about friendship following the dissolution of a marriage. Should exes remain friends?  The answer to that question has as many answers as there are couples, but one thing is certain: If both of you are not 100% on the same page, have new partners who aren't cool with it, or if you have any unresolved feelings of wanting to get back together, it will not work, nor is it a good idea.  I count my blessings on all fronts, and via this conversation, I find out that my ex does, as well.
