Well, a friend and co-worker of mine is about 2 weeks away from his D being final. He and his STBXW are being very civil about the whole thing. As a matter of fact I just bumped into them at the local carnival like thing that hits town once a year. They were there together with their children. They have worked everything out between the two of them. I really wish mine could have gone that route. Instead, my D is as bitter as they come. My STBXW wants everything and then some. She is not happy with anything at all. It's too bad that two people who met, fell in love, got married, had children can no longer act like adults.

I agree 100%. On the other hand most people who get along that well, and can work out difficult situations together, don't get divorced.
My divorce was a nightmare. Anyone else have their ex mother in law in on all the negotiations, and then allowed to be in the courtroom?
Unfortunately we as people sometimes expect our ex spouses to act like civil nice human beings, or we place ourselves in their shoes and know we wouldn't conduct ourselves in this manner and don't understand why they are acting the way they are. We can't control how anyone else acts besides ourselves. They are not going to change no matter how much we think they should, the most important thing is how we conduct ourselves, no matter the situation.
