5 Reasons to Get Along With Your Ex-Wife after a Tennessee Divorce

When you get along with your ex-wife after divorce, it may make moving on much easier. Life after divorce for men can be difficult if you’re still arguing with your ex. Sometimes, it’s just easier to compromise on some issues and get along.

Why be cordial with an ex? 

If you’re going through the divorce process, animosity doesn’t have to permeate the negotiations and your post-divorce life. The following are five reasons to get along with your ex-wife: 

• Help Negotiations: Negotiating alimony, property division and other aspects of a divorce agreement is a lot of give and take. If you’re friendly and willing to compromise, your ex may return the favor. Of course, your Memphis divorce attorney will play an important role in negotiations, too.
• Put the Past Behind You: Don’t give in to petty arguments and you could help remove her from your life if you don’t have children. Being friendly or cordial with an ex may even make moving on to a new relationship easier when they are ready to do so. 
• Alleviate Post-Divorce Stress: Suddenly you must keep the house together all by yourself. A hostile relationship with your ex will only add to these stressors, so it may be best to get along with your ex-wife.
• Alleviate Stress on the Kids: If you have kids, chances are, they are feeling some of the stress of your divorce. Creating a more friendly relationship with your ex may help tone down the animosity to relieve any pressure they may feel.
• Create Trust: The fewer hostile people we have in our lives, the better. Life after divorce for men may be made easier when you get along because there’s no lingering feeling that “she’s out to get you.”
