Unfortunately, my ex and I can't communicate without fighting. My boyfriend on the other hand gets along pretty darn well with his ex. In fact, yesterday morning he was brushing his teeth in the same bathroom she was using. (Don't ask why I know that. Long story.) After all the horror stories I hear, is it possible for ex's to be on friendly terms?

I didn't say I wanted to be friends neccesarily. Just on friendly terms. We have 3 kids together and it would be much easier. I did have feelings for him for a few months, but after the stuff he's pulled I can officially say I have no feelings left that way. None. It's been over a year. I've healed. He hasnt. Some people say that's why he's so hard to get along with becuase he's not over me. And he's remarried!

i know nothing about my ex now. but what i can tell u is that my current husband can't even look at his ex without her trying to control or take advantage of him concerning their child together. i've actually found that if i play the middle-man between them and do all the talking for him (since he works and i'm the main care-giver for their daughter while she is here anyway) it makes our lives go a lot smoother. If she gets pissy at me, so what i can ignore her and just stick to a court order. but if he fights with her, it will never end and they will never agree to the same additional visitation. I guess what i'm saying is if u can't get along with your ex for kids' sake, maybe try and leave the talking up to someone else who wasn't tied to them before the divorce.

For the perfect couple of years i presumed that when we were given a divorce we may proceed to be acquaintances, yet even as it ultimately occurred it truly is bitter. My husband left me even as i became at artwork after being married for 7 years and a couple of weeks later i got here upon out that he had a female friend. For some reason i do no longer hate him yet, even in spite of the indisputable fact that each and every individual says I ought to. He received't search for suggestion from from me or answer any of my texts. He has dropped off the face of the earth till it is composed of court dates then he seems. i'm 5 months into this procedure and that i'll allow you to understand that being acquaintances isn't even a theory for my ex. I on the different hand nevertheless care very a lot for him, regrettably. good success!!

Personally I can't stand my ex. I hope his dick drops off in the middle of a highway but It is possible for ex's to be friendly (rare but it happens) Some people just get along better as friends then tied to each other in marriage. Your part about your ex brushing the teeth together is scary but if your not concerned then hey good for you. So in reference to your question, yes they can be on friendly terms.

As with any human relationship, my experience is not typical. There are couples that do make it out fine after their divorce. Others will keep on hurting each other until death do them part.
Mine has been a roller coaster. Now we are on happy terms. We can talk, exchange information about our son (lives with me). The other day she asked me to take her to the movies (treat on me of course).
Five years ago we were on each others throats at the Court house (Or was it Seven years ago?).
Sometimes it depends on how well have the two of you heal after your divorce. Are issues still not settled (unfinished businesses?). Have you move on from there, or are you still married to each other even though you have a piece of paper that says otherwise.
Good luck, aim for the better.

If it was difficult divorce then it is hard to get back to friendly terms. I had an easy divorce and sometimes even talk to my ex. He tells me about his kids and family and I tell him about my life. We just have no feelings for each other good or bad. So it makes it easy for us.

amicable. she wants to be friends but i don't tolerate people that screw me over. if we did not have dogs (live with me), we would not have any communication though.
with kids, it is important for their development that you not fight in front of them. agree to not say bad things about each other too, cause the only ones that loose will be the kids. Have a conversation with him - get him to agree to be amiable and if there are issues to work them out when the kids are not there.

The only reason i speak to my ex is because we have a child together. So I play nice even if it makes me sick. Why do you want to be Friends with your ex? He is your Ex for a reason.

Well....DO you want to get along with him that well?
You probably want to becuz you still have feelings for him. Don't worry it'll fade as time passes, but you'll always think of him in your head from time to time. That attachment is there.
Most times people don't get along with their exes so don't be dissapointed if you don't. When you get down to it, only if he wants to get along well with you also, only then will it be possible. otherwise- no.
