who am I judge you for wanting to be friends with your ex's new wife. If there are kids involved then for the sake of kids I recommend being civil even being friends. If there are no kids involved and the two of you hit it off and get a long then absolutely.
I get along with my daughters father and his new girl friend they have been togather for 2 years now and she is great with my daughter. Just because she hooked up with the same dink I did does not mean she is a bad person. If any thing we can relate. Although her and I ar not friends we do get along very much so. SO I say do what you feel is right. Who care what others think. We don't matter were not in your social circle telling you what to do. You don't have to deal with us every day of your life. If you like her and want to be friends go for it and kudos to you for being suck a strong woman with an open mind and a big heart.

Unless there are children involved, I see no reason why anyone would want continue a relationship with their ex. If you have kids, I can see becoming friends possibly. My son's father and I are on very good terms but that is for the sake of our son. If we didn't have our son, I'd never have to see or hear from him again. My ex's wife and I remain civil towards each other and that is also for the sake of my son. Although, its no secret that we don't get on very well.
If you do have to remain close with your ex for the sake of children, then I'd say that it is entirely possible to become friends as long as you are both willing to let what has happened between you and your ex out of the picture. I would think that nmght be difficult and awkward o do, but if you can manage it, you're a bigger person than I am!

If you have alot in common then becoming friends shouldn't be a problem. If you have children then it really would help out alot that you are able to get along. I got along with my ex's wife wonderfully, we still keep in touch now even though they have since divorced. She has a daughter by him and I have 3 with him, this way the kids are also able to grow up knowing one another. I've also made friends with his g/f over the years, and even though he has moved on from them, I've made some great friends this way.

First question is, are kids involved? If so, this is of utmost importance even if you don't like one another. It's always nice to have friends and this should not be a bad thing but most women today can't get over the fact the man wanted another woman or the woman says he chose me over you, blah blah blah.
KUDOS to you for being open minded and friendly. It takes a REAL woman to allow this to happen. I've tried with my husbands EX with whom he has 3 prior children and she is absolutely angry about everything. It is disappointing for the childrens sake but I have and still continue to try despite all the back stabbing and mean things she has done.
I would be proud to have a friend like you.

I can't see why not. I am friendly with my ex's new wife, and I am really good friends with my husbands ex wife. We have a lot in common. I think it's fine as long as the ex can handle it.

It's possible as long as it is what you both or even all three want. If you have kids it is so much better for the kids to see that then to see their parents and new step parents at eachother all the time. Make the adult decision... why not be friends?

Sure. It is a good idea and even better if you guys have stuff in common. It just shows you have moved on and the fact that you are willing to be friends with her is a sign of mature adult-like behavior. Not many people like their ex's new woman. :)

From my own personal experience- no you can't. When i got divorced my ex-husband remarried right after. She called me crying the first for years of their marriage, asking me if he "did this or that". Then when they had their first baby everything changed. She was pissed that he was paying me child support and they were starting a new family. Anytime something comes up i get nasty letters in the mail from her. So- i think its a very bad idea. Your ex is an ex for a reason- so you shouldn't be making nice with his new wife.

I am sure that there will be times that you can be friends with her and there will be times that you will hate her guts. With all the people in the world, there are lots of people that will have similar interests as you, but they will not be sharing the one thing that you both did... Your x-spouse.
