The best way to help your ex get on with his life is by getting on with your life. Show him that there's life after divorce, and happiness. Be courteous, but not over-friendly. Discuss what needs discussion, like the kids, or whatever, then have places to go, and things to do...don't spend time in useless dialogue. Also, as far as property goes, settle that as soon as possible. If you and he have no possible reconciliation, no need to spend a lot of time together. Move on!

Come on, you're not really friends. Would a friend cause another to loose his house, family, half of everything he owns, and put him out on the street?\n\nHow bout this? Can he live with you after the divorce, and can you support him financially since most of his money will go to lawyers and support?\n\nCan you dodge bullets from his wifes gun?

Only your friend can make a decision for herself... Offer a sympathetic ear & offer support when the time comes for them to split up.\nYou can only be there for her....\nIf she listened to you now & then felt it was a mistake she would blame you.\nBe the best a friend can be......offer friendship...she will need you badly when it all goes wrong

Let it go....and leave him alone. If it continues into something more serious, it could be detrimental to your friendship. Not to mention, it could cause legal issues for him if word gets out...

talk heart to heart...patch up things..if both of you can feel and see that it will really not work at all., then part ways in good terms...let friendship continue the relationship..who knows, the two of you needs only space..

Wow!! this is a tough one, you have to ask yourself is the friendship worth loosing? because that is possible if you don't see eye to eye in a relationship. I'd just think.. " is he a friend that i can live without?" you may not even have to live without him if it works. If all goes well then you'll be glad you did it right? i think it's a chioce only you can make :) good luck!!

I don't understand why this issue can't be discussed between the two of you.  What you both need is space from each other right now.  Then when you both have your head on straight, go back to the discussion table and determine what you both want out of the relationship.\n\nHaving friends of the opposite sex can be a detriment.  You have to realize that you will be confiding in them all your innermost personal details.  It has the potential to lead to emotional cheating which can lead to physical cheating and once that happens, your relationship might as well be over.

its hard no matter what you choose to do. try to tell them both that you're not comfortable with the situation when they ask you about the other. don't give up the friendship with either one unless they just make it impossible for you. breakups are hard enough without losing your friends in the process.

Break up with one or the other.  Don't try to play both.  They deserve at least that.

It is possible but it might be harder because when you have a child, everything changes, your lifestyles and your thoughts about everything. Therefore, you might act different towards your friends. That's life. No relationship can remain the same forever. You can be friends forever, but you will feel different about each other. Personality changes as you get older, whether you are an adult or a child. If you want to remain friendship and is scared of losing your friends after you have a baby, try to invite you friends over to visit and keep the chains of communication open towards each other like before. You might not have too much time to go out with them like before, but all of you can still keep the good friendship.

Refuse to get caught up in a drama that is not yours.  Your responsibility in the situation is to remain in the relationship with both that you can manage.  You do not have to tell each of them where you stand...and you don't have to share when one is with you or not.  Do not expect that you can change their status...that, too, is not your responsibility.  You can neither separate them, nor bring them together, they have to accomplish this for themselves.

Just be there when he needs to talk or wants to talk. If just coming out of a nasty divorce I would say he needs some space. Don't rush the friendship or it will backfire on you. To let him know your not coming on to him is simple just be honest with him and tell him it is to soon to be in a relationship and all you want right now is to be friends. Actions speak louder than words.

Talk to your friend  and see what happens from there.\nHonesty is the best policy.

Brake things off with her on good terms.  don't do it in the middle of a heated argument or fight cuz then you'll be mad at each other.  I would just sit her down and tell her  need to talk to her, and explain that you don't feel like you two are meant to be, but you think she is an awesome person and you want to be friends still.  I had to do it to a guy I was dating for four years and we are still friends. But if she gets all mad and pissy after.  Then she will be missing out.

Do not reply to his message. The emotional baggage that would ensue from you two remaining friends will blur the boundaries of having a friendship versus a more intimate relationship. If you do feel the need to reply, reiterate to your now ex-boyfriend that you wish to end the relationship and that being friends is definitely not an option. If her replies further with emails, phone calls or person to person visits, do not respond. If you see him in public, speak and go about your merry way.

Absolutely!  Don't risk it if you have a good friendship.  The friendship ending will hurt more than the relationship.
