My husband of 3 years and I got separated this July. He left me because after a bad fight and him asking me to leave I attempted suicide.....I must say I was in a very depresive stage was diagnosed to have depression....2 months later he asked me for divorce so I filed. We have a 20 month old daughter that he got custody of right now. This has hurt me so much because I love them and miss them both so bad.....well 2 weeks later he asked me to be his friend again. We have been spending time together and he calls me just to see how my day is going. I don't know how to take this. Any ideas or advice?

Hi there momtodot. Hope you feel good today. First of all I noticed you've put your story in the "Good experience section", so is it that you consider this as nice to have him as friend again? If yes, then you could try out and see if he is really sincere. You could be good friends. But if you are not sure about his intentions, try to find out first what he is actually looking for... You know him very well surely, does he seem in love again or something? As for you, could you be in love again with him?

So you still love him, do you? Try not letting your feelings for him blinding your senses and ability to understand his true intentions.
You can ask him directly if you feel you can do so.
If you don't feel it, then subtly try to know what he is up to in his mind, about you! Ask questions, make him say things that will guide you to your answer, without him noticing he is answering to some of your interior questions.

Yeah take your time before finding out what he exactly wants to do.
Maybe he regrets his behaviour and the way he asked you to leave, and finally left, himself. Maybe he realized how bad you felt inside so finds an indirect way to apologize. He might also want to come back (don't take this as I'm giving you any hope, it's just a possibility). But you are better placed to know him, and better placed to ask him subtle questions, like Heaven suggested. I think you should try it.

Thank you for being my twin poster, navini!! Nice to meet you, anyway!!
Actually you just said what I said previously! But anyway, you seem nice!

Sounds like he feels soory for you. He may want to know what you are doing to use it against you one day? I would just watch out!

Like Wish and navini mentionned, there are many possibilities. And avant is right to tell you to watch out, he might not be having very good intentions, but don't get paranoid because of that...Take your time to "analyse" the situation. I know things are not very clear in your mind right now and that you feel a bit lost but you are still there holding on, and for your own good, take time observing his ways to find out his intentions, and don't jump to conclusions.

hi momtodot, i'm so sorry that all these had to end in such a way, well i dont see the harm in being friends maybe by this way you'll be able to keep in touch with him as well as with your child, but it's so stupid that you had to fill for divorce because of a fight and i'm sure you are regreting it very much, well maybe by being friends you'll be able to understnad things that were not that clear before. well i just hope that things will be good for you, i know that this is indeed to be act as a friend for the one you love so much but if this i think that this is a good way for you to be able to get the informations of your FRIEND as well as your daughter.

hi momtodot. I would advise you not to have high hopes that he is trying to come back to you as a lover. What if he only really wants to be a friend? You would have hoped for much more and would have got so much less than you expected. You might get very hurt. So just take it as he says it, that is friendship and if it turns out to be more, it will be a good surprise for you!

I'm sad you had to go through depression and attempt to suicide because of that...No one must be hurt to that point...I wish no one would be hurt ever...This is just a dream unfortunately..
