We've remained friends, initially I helped her out a little financially in educational courses to get her on her feet again and over the years we both have provided encouragement to each other and stay in touch - directly and through old mutual friends. We split almost 40 years ago and still respect each other and stay in touch. At one time, we loved each other very much, in some ways, we still do.

Perfect.
Same with me...sometimes we just make better friends than couples.
