Men are strange..point blank...I wonder if his new wife knows of you even as a platonic friend. I am not saying anything negative but sometimes the connection just takes time to break away. If it interfere with your life or his then the connection will have to be severed..sometimes I think if men could have more than one wife they would vote on it.. You two obviously had a good relationship at one time, makes me wonder why the breakup..not just for you and him but I know of other men who remain good friends with a woman even after they get into another relationship???curiouser and couriouser..
I think all men would love to have more than one wife...or S/O....they just don't want to admit it. And the really funny part of that is...they really believe they could satisfy more than one..LOL..most can't even take care of one. Why else would a married man...look for a mistress....and he does NOT want to leave his wife.
Oh....never mind.....I know what it is....."My wife just doesn't understand me"
No...maybe its the one....." I love my wife...but its more like being with my sister"
LOL Annie If I had a dollar for every time a man said to me "my wife doesnt understand me" I could of retired at 40 LOL
Ocean, we had a wonderful relationship and it was my choice to end it, I had obligations I couldnt walk away from and move to Hawaii (ie house, job etc) well I probably could of and some would of but I couldnt I just dont have that in me. And yes men are strange. And for some reason Im sure his "new" wife doesnt know about his emailing LOL... I keep thinking he did a rebound marriage and now realizes it was not what he wanted after all. Really sad but its nice that we have been able to keep our friendship....
If you parted as friends, I see no reason why someone wouldn't be able to show concern when emergency situations arise where they are. We're over 50, right? Petty jealousy is just stupid. I still contact my ex-husband whenever there are fires in Southern California. The split was amicable, and I will always care about his well being.
Well, I don't contact any of my exes when some sort of natural disasters happen around me. I would be really pissed to learn that my husband was doing that. But then, I am one of the ones who absolutely posatutely would not countenance my S.O., or exclusive honey or husband having a female friend, whether it is in R.L. or on the internet. I don´t share my men. Period.
And frankly, just my unasked for opinion, I don't see it as you guys 'keeping your friendship', especially since the new wife apparently knows nothing about it. That means he is keeping it secret from her. Would you like your S.O. or husband having a friendship with a woman and keeping it secret from you?. By you permitting it to continue and yes even encouraging it, I see it as you interfering with his settling into his marriage, and the proper and ethical thing would be for you to step out of the picture.
JMO.
Thank you Marti, I thought it was just me thinking it was strange.... And yes I dont share men either... Thank you for your advise...
Sounds like the marriage was something you do in haste and then regret for the rest of your life....I get the feeling you are his true soul mate.....good for you! We all make mistakes we regret and it is awesome that you still remain friends......sounds like he really misses his life with you!
