My ex-husband and I are still friends. We were friends before we ever started dating. We have 1 child together. People are always telling me that it's weird that we are friends, but I think its a good thing. At least we aren't fighting in front of our daughter. He even cam to my wedding and has asked me to be at his. I get along great with his fiance too.

Ok, don't get me wrong here, we are just friends...no benefits or anything like that. We did our fighting already.

It sounds like you guys have a deeper connection then what can be explained in words. Do you really care if people think it's weird and even still, do we have to explain and give reasons for the choices we make? I think it's great that your friends, it makes raising your child that much easier. Just go with the flow of things and don't worry about what other people say. Good Luck.

My ex and I divorced after 31 days of marriage. He cheated on me and I went nuts. So he divorced me. But we still dated after the divorce and spent a lot of time together. Once I was over the anger of the divorce thing we have had some good times. He needed some time to think so he took a job elsewhere. We talk almost daily. He has asked me to marry him again. One time I say yes, the next time I say no. Once a cheater always a cheater. But if we do marry and he cheats on me, I have much more leverage this time and I can litterly make his life a living hell.
That is nice for your childs sake that you are still friends. I never had a child with my ex. But I do have a daughter from a previous relationship. My ex and I go along so much better when we were not married. And he now knows that pay backs are a b*tch.

I think that it's a good sign that you can be friends with your ex. I know that I am friends with two of my ex's and sometimes they can be a great support or be able to support you in ways your current partner can't.
Admittedly I am now dating a girl but two of my male boyfriends have remained my good friends. The guy I left to go with my girl turned out to be the most supportive.
I think it's good that you can keep some element there of what was part of your relationship - obviously not physical. I think that it is a sign that you are both mature and that you can deal with things in an adult matter. So much better for your child.

Oh my gosh! I'm great friends with my Ex-Husband too. My ex and I do lots of stuff together. We don't have any children but we will ALWAYS be part of each others life. There was never any issue over trust or jealousy.
My current husband of 9 years is friends with him and my ex brother in law. They hang out too, even without me! Long ago when my current hubby's ex wife was still around the area...she and I use to hang together too. Actually, when my hubby and his wife were married we all hung together. Funny we all got married around the same time and divorced around the same time and we all are still friends...No my ex and his ex didn't hook up.
I think our friendships are fine, but it's so true the "others" seem to have a problem with it.

It is not strange to be friends with your ex. Since you have a chuld together, that is a huge benefit to the child and to each of you as well. Some people are better off as friends than as a couple. I know people in your situation. As a married couple they hated one another, as a non-couple, they are best of friends.
Considering that you two were married, you prolly know one another really well and at the time you met, you filled a void in each other's lives. This is commonly called a soulmate. I;m betting your ex is yours.

If you have a kid together it is a good thing to be friends.. But if you have no children, i see no reason whatsoever to be friends with an ex. It will only cause problems in current and future relationships. It is a very good thing you get along with the father of your child.. Its when you don't that things all turn to hell

Thats just great. U r maintaining a good relationship. I'm wondering how did u did that. Its always very difficult to maintain a healthy relationship with some one u have divorced.
Thats perfect. I think u should start a column in a leading newspaper to help those who have stucked up in a relationship.
Kudos to u.

No, it's not weird - but only because you have a child together. The fact that you have a child together is reason enough for you and him (and his fiance) to be wonderful friends, because you will all be in eachother's lives for the rest of your lives due to your child.

My ex hubby and I are on a friendly basis. The main reason is we have a son together. WE get along better now that during marriage.

this is basically extraordinary in the event that they're your modern-day instructor and frowned upon via the college even with the undeniable fact that as quickly as they alter into an ex-instructor you surely exchange into equals and could chum them they're no longer an expert determine on your existence so this is completely advantageous to be friends.
