Have you ever given your ex dating advice?

This is kind of weird. My husband and I have been seperated for a year and a half. We are getting divorced as soon as we get the money to and things have been quite civil. He asked me to help him interpet some signals from a girl he is interested in. And I did honestly.





Has anyone been in this situation before? How did it turn out?Have you ever given your ex dating advice?
Yes definitely! I am not going to lie, I always tell my ex to try to work it out with his girlfriend because she is the only person that keeps him out of my face!Have you ever given your ex dating advice?
I am still good friends with a few of my ex boyfriends. I give them advice like I give anyone advice when I am asked for it. My husband and I are the only couple that has remained happily married. All of our friends who got married when we did have divorced and some are on their second marriages. We are often solicited for advice.
Sure have - Silent Enjoyment. All it does is make confirmation that my decision was right ;)
I've been married 9 years and I am still in touch with an ex. I have given him dating advice from a woman's perspective.





Nothing wrong with it, as long as you are both clear on where you stand.
No. I don't talk to my ex.





Your husband should be a man, and at least wait til the divorce is final before starting to date.





That's mho...
yea i have done it, it turned out good i tell all my ex's just because we are not together you can still come to me when you have a problem
No, but I guess he has moved on all right without you. I guess you are fine with the divorce, and you have no problems with him as a friend now. Nice way to be is civil, and do your best to keep that perspective. Think perhaps you should move on keeping busy and focused on the reality of being without him in your life. (or the main force for the time you were together)
my ex wife asked me to talk to her boyfriend and teach him how to bring her to orgasm. i laughed so hard, i pee'd in my pants.
That would be really weird! Although, I am thinking of it in terms of me and my husband, and we are not planning to divorce...so I can't see that. But in all honesty, there has been times when I wish I could just sit down with an ex boyfriend from the past and explain to him why he can't keep a girlfriend! I think that if you two are to that point of being good friends, and can both handle speaking to eachother about those thing... if you are comfortable with it I don't see why it should be a problem. But I would say, just because he asked you and you are okay with it... doesn't necessarily mean he would be okay with it if it was reversed.
Perhaps this is a clue to why your marriage fell apart. So you might want to consider why you are giving him advice. Often in marriage we begin with a romance in which both partners are in the best most comfortable and empowered part of their being. The man in the role of leader, provider, and physical dominant partner...this is his strength and where he feels most fulfilled as a man. The woman in the role of the maker of the home, who can lean but lend a voice in affairs, whose strength lies in the essence of her femininity, intuition and perception. She deferrs to him, for he is the leader.


Over time, in our society this shifts and when it does the man and the woman might become equals. The problem is that the romance and passion disappear as she becomes his equal, and the leadership is shared, so she no longer defers to him and he loses his strength and virility in the role of the masculine. She loses her attractive femininity because she is no longer asking for his help. Passion is gone, and it becomes a mother son relationship.


That is what you have got.
I did.





I even ended up being friends with his GF, too - and giving her advice about him, too.





Sometimes it was painful, initially. But I wanted him to be happy, so I gave him my honest opinion on what to do/how to fix it.
I haven't given my ex dating advice.......but I've asked him for his opinion on things.....


Weird I know......
