My younger relationships operated a in more of the default, black and white kind of way. We’re together or we’re not. For better or worse, I do not stayed friends with them.
As a long term relator, I have managed to sustain friendly connections with a lot of my exes but the truth is we no longer prioritize each other. We have become different people with different values which is a part of what contributed to us deciding to transition our romantic connection.
My ex husband and I have an incredible child together. I’m proud of how we have navigated the very difficult road to re-establishing a new relationship dynamic as co-parents however those wounds run deep and take time to heal. Even though I may still want healthy boundaries with what I confide in him or how often we socialize, we are trying our best to create a loving space to be unified in with our child.
