My ex contacted me out of the blue after 2 years. Found out he's splitting up with his current gf. He just wants to be "friends". Fuck him.

I still co-parent with my incredibly shitty ex husband. It's mostly very polite hand overs, but every now and then the mood lightens. :)

It's going to start happening with my ex-wife soon, who I still love so much. Not sure how I will handle it.

The person who breaks up a relationship against the wishes of the other should provide a replacement, temp lover to ease the transition.

Same here, but only 1 1/2 years. Everything you said I relate. When I get a text my heart jumps still thinking it would be her.

It does. Unfortunately, those are wounds only time can heal. Friends, work, hobbies, meditation, exercise and self-reflection help though.
