The different attitudes after a couple separated/divorced

Hello there,

I grew up and was raised in Chinese culture.   I wonder what the attitudes in Western culture after a couple separated or divorced.

In Chinese culture, Personally, I would say that we will no longer closely keep in touch with each other once we divorced or broke up.
Because we think there are some painful memories to recall if you continuously meet your ex-boyfriend or ex-husband.

It is like a wound that hasn't recovered and you continuously scratch it as you continuously meet him or some related things.

But, I found some friends' attitudes don't like that.
Below some friends have shared their divorced experience, but how about ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, why does your culture stay in contact with that? 

Could you please tell me some reasons? or any books are related to this topic.

Thank you so much!
