we were divorced 5 years ago and still faught for 2 years after untill we just quit talkig. while setting up my new computer i added all the people in my address book to my buddy list and she accepted. it was a complete accident but we have exchanged a few messages and she seems to have dropped all the old arguements. i no longer have a sexual interest in her but it would be nice to get along with an ex-wife.

I realize you have already received a lot of answers but, I wanted to let you know that I too am divorced and am still friends with my x husband. He's alot like a brother to me now and it makes things much easier. My mother and father were divorced for years and they remained friends, she was even there holding his hand when he drew his last breath, and that was the way he wanted it. So yes, you can stay friends. Good Luck to you and her.

My dad just recently got remarried and I have been getting to know my stepmom. One day she was on the phone with who I thought was a close friend. I didnt say anything because I didnt want to pry but she goes "Oh that was my ex-husband john. Other than your dad he is my best friend. We fought all the time when we were married but after being apart we have become best friends. Its really nice too" So anyways, my step mom AND my dad are like super close with her ex. Its strange but its really good to be civilized and sad it didnt work in the marriage but it is good that it might work now. Better late then never as they always say!

It's not impossible but will require an enormous amount of work from both of you. I have a cousin who now shares a home with his ex-wife for the sake of their daughter. They co-exist in a completely nonsexual environment and raise their daughter together as parents and friends. It's not unusual to see them out together as a family eating dinner or going to a movie.

Yep and by now it should be just fine. You can do it once all the hurt is gone, the romantic relationship is truly done and the dust has settled. It is nice isn't? Me, my ex, his new wife and my new hubby sat together and cheered our heads off at the boys' football games and it was great for them to hang out with all of us afterwards to watch the other brothers game. It also helped that I liked his wife more than him, that she was outstanding with the boys and earned the title of mom as far as all of us were concerned!

Your life will be complete with closure and adding a friend who marriage did not work out with, but there was something there in the beginning tells me that this has run full circle and you two are meant to be friends, enjoy it...some of my bestest of friends are ex's!

Sure it is. My ex and I are good friends. Not at first, but we were civil in front of the kids. Now sometimes he even ask me how to deal with his new wife! I think once the feelings of anger pass, you can learn to be civil but you both have to want too!

well that is really good...but i would not get to chummy with her and tell her anything really going on in your life now...my ex are just that ex and will stay that way..we use to talk when the kids were younger but he was so abusive and i blame him for some of my sons actions today...but if you can be friends and talk once in a while go ahead...but i would be careful of what you talk to her about anyway....
