Advice | I accidentally befriended my ex-husband’s wife. Hax readers give advice.

We asked readers to channel their inner Carolyn Hax and answer this question. Some of the best responses are below.

Dear Carolyn: In my early 20s I was married briefly and soon divorced. Logistically, it was as easy as divorces go since we were young, didn’t have kids and there wasn’t a lot of material stuff to fight over. However, it was rough for a couple of years for me mentally. My ex’s behavior was selfish and immature, and I came away from the whole thing with a low opinion of him.
