I divorced my ex-wife for five years and suddenly asked me for help. How can I politely refuse each other?

It depends on your attitude, because you have been divorced for five years, so you don't need to pay attention to the identity of your ex-wife, just choose according to your actual situation.

After two people divorce, if you don't have children raised together, it basically means that you have no relationship. In this case, if your ex-wife asks her for help, you don't need to be too coy about it. You can choose to help if you have time. If you don't have time, you can also try to refuse directly. Too tactful refusal will make you worry too much.

You can try to reject your ex-wife directly.

The reason why you say this is mainly because you two have divorced, which basically means that you two are no longer bound by marriage, so you two don't need to entangle your relationship too much. In this case, since you don't want to help your ex-wife, you can choose to refuse her.

You can also say that your time is busy.

If you think the way of direct refusal is too blunt, it can show that your time is very busy, and you can also come up with some specific things to prevaricate your ex-wife. For adults, when a person prevaricates with his own affairs, the other person will generally understand the real intention and shrink back at the same time.

You can try to help your ex-wife.

Personally, if you have the ability to help your ex-wife, you can choose to help your ex-wife if time permits. Although you two are divorced, after all, you two have emotional experiences. If the other person doesn't often disturb your life, you don't need to care about their identity. At the same time, you need to consult your wife in advance to fully express your respect for her. It is ok to help the ex-wife with the wife's permission.
