Has anyone ever...

Gotten along better with their child’s father or ex boyfriend/partner/ex husband AFTER breaking up?

My child’s father and I have broken up twice now, we broke up two night ago and now we’re being really nice to eachother?! This happened last time we broke up, we just became really good friends. He’s still living here until he finds a place to live but now our son is seeing us get along and I like it. It’s like we’re room mates... as soon as we get into a relationship together, we argue, he rages, I become super cold, his anger issues get out of this world crazy and it scares me and my child and I feel as though I’m walking in egg shells. Our communication styles are so different and I wish him ALL the best but I just can’t seem to give him what he needs, I feel no sexual attraction towards him. I honestly hope he finds someone that will love him the way he wants and needs and treat my son great. As soon as we break up we just get along SO much better, like there’s no tension or expectations... I think it’s best we stay friends because it seems better this way, and our son doesn’t need to be subjected to all the crap that goes on when we get into a relationship, which always becomes hostile... severely. He’s still sad but I think he’ll realise how much easier it is us being apart and being stable and getting along then being together and having our child watch what a horrible relationship is... has this happen to anyone else or?
