My husbands ex wife is now one of my best friends.. As strange as it is for me to say this I swear its true.
I know that in every situation there is two sides to every story, but I have to say that she is SO NOT what he (hubby) led me to believe. Aside from the fact that she is his ex, she enjoys the same music , movie genre, and other out door interest. Hubby doesnt seem too upset about the fact that she and I are friends. So I think its cool, but I would like to know if I am going into this friendship with eyes wide shut.? Hubby, the Ex , and I have discussed the ODD situation going on, but in the best interest of All of our children, We do agree that a "truce" of sorts is necessary. And just in case you are wondering, the reason hubby and the ex divorced is b/c for one, they were too young in the first place and for two, the military and marriage do not mesh well together, as I am sure you are aware of. I just need some reassurance. Please Respond Quickly..

I think it's wonderful that your able to be friends but just be cautious. I was friend's with my EX-husbands ex-wife, will just call her Sherri. Sherri and I decided to be friendly for the benefit of the children. After a few years of marriage, Sherri and I developed a very close relationship because we were the ones involved with the kids and their activities. We would sit together at basketball, softball, baseball, soccer and football games. My children would even spend the night at her house because our children were so close. After (10) years of marriage I discovered that my husband and his ex had been sleeping together for at least (7) of the ten years. I was never so devastated because I thought she was truly my friend and I had never done anything to her but love and care for her children and was even very supportive of her on a several occasions. I felt like such a fool when I found out and the saying "keep your enemies close" really held true for her. I guess I was the only one that was "clueless"!!!

based what time scale you make the main of, the planet does seem cooling. it began out warming approximately 11,000 years interior the previous on the suitable of the Holocene and hit a optimal approximately 8,000 years interior the previous, thinking the incontrovertible fact that mutually because it rather is been cooling. that is to declare, there's a useful possibility that we are headed for yet yet another glacial era and so 2,000 years from now the temperature would be markedly cooler. notwithstanding if the final few hundred years propose a warming form so there is likewise of challenge that it gets warmer first previously an prolonged cool era, or in all possibility only get warmer - we are in spite of each thing in an ice age.

Well, my current hubby was my best friend when my son's dad and I were together. They now go paint balling together. When it is an amicable break up and there is a friendship, it is great. My son doesn't have to worry about his graduation or other significant events since we will not be fighting.

If there are no naturally ruffled feathers, there is no need to look for them. Since there are children involved, the situation couldn't be any better. I would suggest avoiding talking about your husband with her out of respect for him, but otherwise, no I don't think its weird. Its a good thing, not a bad thing.

1st - whatever works for you is what you need to be worried about. You are all fortunate that a "truce" is an option! 2nd - Your marriage & their marriage have only 1 thing in common & that is the man- you could & NEVER SHOULD compare the similarties or differences of the relationship or persons involved. 3rd - the military & marriage do work - it's chances are far greater believe me.

This similar thing happened with my mother and her ex's ex. He and his ex have a child together and my mother had 2 with him. My mother and his ex are now great friends and talk all of the time. The ex's child even spent weeks at our house and my mother's 2 kids spent time at hers.

While it is a strange situation, it can be healthy for all. I would caution against leaving them alone together though. Best to have your enemy where you can see them then wonder where the are and what they are doing.
