I read your about me section..... I can understand this a little with missing your ex, as a friend- but the thing is what he had done is not a friend like thing to do-- He does not want to have kids, but gets involved with another *emotionally while with you, which has now lead to marrying them for him. and this new woman has kids.. And you left with a bag of your own.

I can't imagine that pain there- I don't want to imagine that pain there- But in my book that would not be soo much as a friend...

I hope I am not promoting anger here- that is not what I am trying to do, but I can see how it may come accross that way- I am just trying to say- Ask yourself what a friend is-- is that the description?

Many hugs- Sorry if I was not helpful with my two cents.
