His Wife Filed For Divorce 6 Years Ago, And After Recent Events Brought Them Closer Together, He’s Thinking They Can Make Up
This 40-year-old man was married, but 6 years ago, his 39-year-old wife filed for divorce. Back then, he thought they both were in a bad spot, and that’s what ultimately led to them splitting up.
He had recently gotten a new job, and that caused him to not pay a lot of attention to his wife, and he also suspected she had found someone else.
They lived for a whole year in misery, and then she said she was done. Now, he and his wife have a daughter together, and she’s 8-years-old.
So, because they are co-parenting, they have had to remain in touch throughout the 6 years that they have not been together.
Throughout the years, he and his ex-wife have been nothing but amicable and respectful, and although the divorce did make him sad, he has been able to maintain a good relationship with her.
Not too long ago, their daughter ended up breaking her leg, and that resulted in him and his ex-wife spending a lot of time together in order to be there for their daughter.
“Last week, when I looked at my ex-wife, I found her very attractive, and I told her she looked wonderful,” he explained.
“Up until now, I stuck to my principles, and I never considered us being together again. Thinking about the past, I realized I told her hurtful things before the divorce, and I know cheating can be a way of seeking things she missed at home.”
Then, their daughter had her 8th birthday, and he and his ex-wife ended up spending some more time together for that event.

While at his daughter’s party, his ex-wife did end up reaching out to touch him after a long conversation, and then when they took photos with their daughter, he touched his wife’s back just as he used to do when they were married.
“When I got back home, I wrote her that she is a great mother to our daughter and that I admire her as a wonderful woman, and that I would never again say some things I said in the past,” he said.
“She replied that my respect means a lot to her. I don’t want to push her, but thinking about everything, I believe it could actually work out if we got together again.”
“I would like to tell her I am open, but at the same time, it feels strange telling this directly. Acting as if she was a random girl I newly met also feels strange. Anyway, I would be glad if we grew closer either as friends or partners.”
