It takes a while to be able to reach the point of being civil in some cases. Never been through a divorce but certainly had my share of relationships. In one case, it would be years before I'd be able to act normal in her presence. I'd avoid her like the plauge rather than have to deal with her (or more accurately my emotions). I don't believe the relationship is truly over until you reach the stage where they are just another person. In nearly every case I'd love to see all my past partners today just to see how they are doing.
Badmouth them? Not so much.
