Default Marriage/Divorce/Then date you EX

Has anybody ever divorced their husband / wife and end of dating them?

I have been legally divorced for a year, and was seperated for 6 months.

Yet now my ex and I are seeing each other and talk about what happened better than when we went to marriage counceling.

It's like we are falling in love all over again, but know now what the issues we had with each other, so it is not a surprise.

Has this happened to anybody else? Has anybody remarry their ex husband and had the second time around work?

If you still have feelings for your ex and things are working out, I say go for it. Take it slow and see what happens.

we arent divorced yet but we've tried to "work it out" SO many times since we separated alittle over a year ago, but it NEVER works so this time its been like 8 months since we "tried" and i'm glad that I"M done! It didnt work in the beginning what has changed that it will work now (thats just my opinion) what were the reasons that it didnt work? So whats changed? just a few ?s to ponder

I agree with you there! I want to do the same thing to mine. I have 2 boys with my ex though and my boys are 16 & 14, but the ex still treats them like they are 5! He told them last weekend that if they washed and dried his truck (F-250) that he'd pay them, they said "ok". The idiot paid them alright.....$5 each! That really pee'd the boys off and me also for him being so cheap!

well- I did not end up divorcing my husband but a few years ago we seperated or split up (no legal seperations in RI) I filed for divorce- we were 2 weeks from it being final we were going to counceling to help with our children going through a divorce and we ended up going out and then dating and we got back together.

it takes time and dating and relearning- you have to keep your mind open for change and forgiveness- people make mistakes some are worth swallowing and forgiving- if your heart says go- listen to it- if you get hurt again- thats life- you can not always predict the future or think of what ifs- life is about chances-

But we are still together-


good luck!! the hardest part is for your family and friends to leave the opinions at the door and let you figure it all out

We got married in 1965 - I think we were both 20 years old. Then, in 1970 I decided I wanted to look around for something better. (I must have had a hole in my head) I filed for divorce, we had a 20-month-old son that we "shared" - even tho we lived 400 miles apart.

We were apart for less than a year. I "came to my senses" (had a reality check and experience in church - 'nuf said). I was VERY blessed in that my DH took me back.

We have been married for 44 years this summer! I have loved him more than my own life for most of those years (since 1971). He is the best thing in myt life. Thank God for mercy.

I think it depends on why you were divorced in the first place, as to whether or not you can make it work the second time. And whether or not you can both forgive the other person. And trust them again.
