I just got back from the burial of my ex husbands nephew. I had to take the kids there because it was their cousin actually who died. His mom, sisters and all other relatives welcomed me as if we were still living together. I already have this other relationship with another guy and they know about it. What do you make of that?

It sounds like they either truly like you or that they want a good relationship with you because of the children. Either way, it's a good thing for your kids. Be happy about it.

It feels good doesn't it. I am a 44 year old male divorced for 10 years in the same situation you are. My ex inlaws treat me as part of there family even though my ex wife has not spoke a word to me for several years.

They appreciate the fact that you took your kids to the funeral and paid your respects instead of staying home and not acknowledging it. No matter what happened to your marriage, your kids and your ex's nephew were related by blood and you didn't forget that. You're a wonderful mother.

i think it's great that his family is still nice to you, they should be right! being rude doesn't help either sides and if you ask me i think that if they were rude it would be sad on there part you were once a part of there family and to some people even though a divorce takes place the family part don't leave you are the mother of there grandchildren so it would only be right for them to be nice and respect you and about your new relationship... everybody moves on some time!

Your still family and always will be just because your not married don't make you an outcast...You just can't have Sunday dinner with them..
That must have made you feel good that's a good thing...Give them a call from time to time and stay in touch..

you are the mother of their grandchildren/nieces and nephews. That is wonderful that they are welcoming to you, i dont make anything of it other than them being nice. Good for you that your x in laws aren't hateful. So many people have monster x in laws.

That is great that your ex husband's family is still nice to you. It helps your kids emotionally too.

Obviously they really like you and respected you for coming to the funeral. You must be a very nice person!

They sound like wonderful, caring, open-minded people and I believe you are a very lucky woman.
I don't think you should worry about this. As long as everybody's fine with it, I think you should be grateful.
