Victoria, I love this so much. When I wrote Why You Might Want To Remove Sex and Romance From Your Relationship, it acknowledged that some couples can develop a deep friendship that is more comfortable and, ultimately, more enduring than when they were spouses. It seems that you and your former spouse have been able to honor that.

The people who talk about how divorce is so damaging often don’t include these stories in their narrative. Yet, if more people knew that it’s possible to part kindly and lovingly, and reconfigure a relationship that speaks to all the good that was in, it would help them immensely. Thank you for being a role model.
