I am friends with my ex. I know my man doesn't like it, but he does respect the friendship that he and I have. I just do my best not to sneak around behind his back to hang out or talk on the phone to my friend. I make a point to let him know when he and I talk. I also want to introduce them to eachother, my friend lives on the other side of the country so it hasn't happened yet. I want them to know eachother so there is no secrecy. I also make sure my man know he has priority in my life and my decisions.

With my first, yes. My second husband hated it. Now that he's an X too. I'll talk on occasion only to keep the peace...simply because he can be so GD ugly. Even after two years I'm still having trouble with any confrontation...simply because there was so much of it in my second marriage that I don't think I can bare anymore yet. My current guy doesn't have a problem with me talking to my X at all. He only hates that it bothers me to do so and can't seem to truly find complete forgiveness to heal.

I wouldn't say that my ex and I are friends...but we still have a love and mutual respect for another...and my current husband knows how I feel about my ex.

I am not really great friends with my ex but we are on friendly terms, because of our son. My fiancee is okay with it as she knows it benefits our son. However, if I spent significant time with her or did too many favors for her, she might not like it that much.

He understands that it is important for the kids that we all get along. He is more guarded about than I am though and I am thankful for that. I am endlessly hopeful about everything and he is able to point out things to ensure I am not taken advantage of or walked all over.
But all in all, we get along great with our ex's.... mostly for the kids sakes, but it has given us some tremendously happy children for our hard work at working together.

Now that our kids are grown and we no longer have any thing to argue about we get along just fine. We aren't friends though. He went his way and I went mine. If we had any thing to hold us together as friends we wouldn't be divorced. My current husband doesn't care one way or the other. He knows I love only him and that is all that matters in his opinion.

We are not friends but we do get along. We only talk about things that have to do with our daughter, nothing else. My husband does not like it but I refuse to let him cause problems with my daughters' father. It's not like we hang out together but we do talk about my daughters' grades, x-mas and b-day gifts. That's the way it should be. We used to fight all the time but we have matured a lot for the sake of our daughter.

I'm friends with several ex's.....no worries. If you're open and honest in your relationship with your current boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse, and you truly trust each other, it's no big deal.

I am friends with one of my exes. I felt he was a genuine person and I truly appreciated him in my life. There are few that I may still be friends with if I lived closer to them. But the toxic one...well, he's gone.
My husband accepts my choices and really appreciates that the one who treated me poorly isn't in my life. In fact, he is friends with my ex, as well, as my ex is the one who introduced me to my husband!!!
If you do what is right for you, your s.o. will appreciate that!!!
