From time to time someone going to, say, a wedding posts about the social niceties of encountering their ex and, possibly, his new wife. Do you have an amicable relationship with your ex, are you rigidly and painfully polite with each other when forced to meet, do you studiously ignore each other even when in the same room or do you hate each other's guts?

I cannot add anything to this thread as I have been married to the same man for 42yrs. I just wanted to say that it was a bit strange to go on the first page and see Carole aka Greatnan on the thread. I still think about her often, especially as one of my DDs lives in New Zealand and I will be visiting her in a few months. I am sorry to go off on a tangent, just had to say.flowers xx.

It is weird isn't it! I saw a really old thread where GN was the OP and someone recently answered her. They, obviously, weren't to know but it makes me feel a bit sad and funny! sad

I noticed that too positivepam and kitty. When we have a specially controversial thread, I still think to myself, 'Now, what would Carol have said about this?'

I am glad it is not just me anno I often think that as well. And yes Kitty it is weird and I get the same feelings sad and well....so many other feelings, we all went through so much and of course new members cannot possibly know. I wont go on because we all have so many memories of happy times and that awful awful time and I do not want to linger, just wanted to say I think really. Love to all.xx.
