Quite well actually. Both of them - yeah, I said both. What can I say, it's complicated. Both marriages were over 10 years and both, for different reasons, were mistakes... probably equally so on both our parts.
One (the first ex) lives half a country away and I seldom see her... like almost never, but we are friends and did the coparent thing quite successfully. My second lives quite near me and we are nearly, if not in some ways better friends than we were when married. Her children (my stepchildren) and I are still on good terms, see each other occasionally and one, a 23-year old with Down's, stays with me during the week so the ex can work without the responsibility of having to care for and watch over her. The ex and I have movie and dinner nights - like dates without the chance of getting lucky. 😁
