although you have moved on romantically?

I can relate to that dynamic because my ex and I were high school sweethearts and remained married for 12 years. She is one of my best friends (almost like the sister I never had), but since she has recently remarried, I've chosen to distance myself from her just a bit so as not to "weird" out her new spouse. (I don't really know that it would, but when people hear that we're friends and exes, they usually respond with such awe, I decided not to risk it in this case).

I didn't, I don't like what she did to me, how she treated me, and what she did to my kids. I had always thought it would be easier and I'd hate her less as time passed. But I have found I hate her more as time passes. I have moved on, and I don't like to hear others say bad things about her, I won't join in with the bashing. My view of her is mine. I don't want it to become anyone elses view. So I never talk bad about her around anyone. I've been divorced almost 2 yrs

I think that you both have to be amicable and mature about the situation. If it's a mutual feeling and you both accept the other persons feelings, it should work out just fine. Sometime, feelings may still exist and it may make things a little difficult for one if not both... But just be mature about it and make sure he knows! Good luck!

I have moved on romantically. We have three children together and I think that has made us become closer as friends. Our children sometimes can't believe it.

What an abysmal waste of time. What's the point? If you have kids, you can be nice, but friendship means something to me, and no ex ever would.

not me.
i was going to try, but when i asked for a divorce he did some very very horrendous things to me, that i could have pressed charges for, but wasn't likely to be able to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt"
i do not have any contact with him whatsoever. the last time i did was when we signed our divorce papers at the courthouse.

when kids are involved its best to try to be friends. if there are no kids, i put the ex on my "hope I never see again in life list"

I don't see any advantage in staying friends with her, and why would I want to be friends with someone who treated me the way she did.
She's gone-she still thinks we are mates tho.

Not me. I can't stand the way she treated me and the kids.
