I have been married to my husband for 10 years. We have been together for 12. We have 2 kids. I love him but I'm not in love with him anymore. How can we be friends after the divorce is final?

You can try but it doesn't work.
Anyone that claims it works for them is lying.

Is he ok with you divorcing him? If he is, then I imagine you have hope of still being friends afterward. If he is not, well - just be as respectful of his feelings as you can be. He will be hurt and probably not want to be around you except for the kids. If that's the case, then you need to respect that.

I'd also like to point out that 'in love' is a deceptive feeling. It waxes and wanes over a relationship. You might want to look into counseling for you two before you pack it in.

OK you want him to be happy about a divorce and friends after.

Best way I can think of is set him up with a few good looking girlfreinds. This way he is covered when you go.

Plus, don't be a ***** during the divorce doing all the usual lying styff of saying he is a bad day, abuses you, and try and take every penny he ever earned becuase you think you might need it.

Ive been with my husband since i was 19. I'm 31 now. I'm not in love with him anymore and just want to be free of his drama. I'm about to get a divorce too.

I think you can be friends if you both can accept that things are over. If you blind side him or shock him, anger will most likely keep you from ever being friends again.

There are classes most courts will want you to take about parenting after divorce,they teach you how to be civilized and work as a team for the children. As for friends its going to be up to him if he even wants to be your friend.

You want a divorce and you want to be friends? Are you serious?
Sorry lady, you will never get both. So you had better start accepting that now.
You couldn't save him as his wife, what makes you think you can as his friend?

you just tell him what does you think about....

Forget divorce, there is enough divorced people out there already. You were in love with him at one point, I would do what ever it takes to get the love back. Friends after divorce?? That is a rare thing. I wouldn't plan on it for a long time. Just stay married and fall back in love, who wants to start all over, you have history and kids and a family. This is part of marriage so go work it out and enjoy the rest of your life together with your family that your started, don't end it. :(

Well if you can keep the divorce amicable, that will surely help a bring about a friendship between the two of you. If you make it a hellish divorce like most do, you can pretty much wave goodbye to the friendship.
There is really no point in mentioning his addiction in court unless it presents a danger to the children. Personally I don't think its any of the courts business.
Show him you support him in controlling his drinking, don't nag about it, just be there for him when he needs a friend. Also, make visitation as easy as possible, friendly and polite. Little things like that will go a long way....

You aren't 'In LOVE" with him anymore? Question, are you interested in someone else? Love doesn't stay the same as in the beginning. Your reason for wanting a divorce sound more like an escape from the trappings of marriage and the excitement of another man, or single life. Divorce is HARD and there are many jerks out there. Is your husband a little boring? Be happy because when you are single you will meet the players out there who will take your heart and tear it to shreds.
Think about your marriage, family and please before you get any further into this see a counselor, Ok?
Ok, now read you state he is an alcoholic, definitely counseling!

You know most of the time if the relationship has not came to a middle it can be a real mess! The first thing i would do is sit down with your husband and talk with him and find out his angle on the subject see what he is feeling because you will be able to judge allot with just his views. By then you will know if it will work out as friends. Just make sure both of you agree on it because the last thing you want is for both of you to sleep on anger! That is never good! so find out what he thinks first then email me and i will be more then willing to help out with the rest!
