No, it's really a good thing! Why should your friendship end with his sister when the relationship ended with your ex? You had become friends with his family while you two were together. It shouldn't have to end with the divorce. As for you and your ex getting along, that is really good too! Sometimes we realize later on that we were really meant to be friends instead of lovers. : )

My husband and I are going out riding horses on Saturday with my ex, our daughter, his girlfriend and her kids at his farm...it is a good thing. It becomes a bad thing if the ex hates you and tries to drive a wedge between family members. We have that on the other side. Out of respect I don't contact my ex husbands family because that would keep me too much in the loop for the next woman he falls in love with.....that is not my place any longer.

I got really close to my ex wifes sister and her husband. I still will call once a year or so just to say hi. When you spend time with a family and get close to them, they become like your second family. Besides, I divorced her sister not them.

Nope. I am still friends with my ex husband though we never had kids. He was not a good person when we were married but since then he has done a lot of thinking and is very apologetic. If he has feelings for me I have none for him. But see no reason to not be friends.

It's wonderful. I keep in touch with my ex's family and my ex and I get along great. There's no reason why we can't be mature and civil about this.

No, not really. My ex and I divorced but we still talk every once in a while. We exchange Christmas cards, stuff like that.
As for her family... when we see each other around we say hi and catch up. I wouldn't consider any of them friends but we don't avoid each other.
Good luck.

I see my ex's brother from time to time but that's all, she had no other siblings and her parents are no longer around. I see her best friend quite a lot when I am at work....doesn't create any awkwardness though.

Just because you can't live with someone doesn't mean you can't be friends with them or their family. There have been several girlfriends of mine that I had better relationships with their brothers or sisters and even a couple of parents I used to play bridge with. We won several club tournaments as partners. They sprung for the beer afterwards and usually complained of who she was dating because they didn't like him!

For me it strange, B/c I do not even talk to my ex-husband anymore, Our son is almost 17 years old so there is not reason for me to. My son calls his Aunts uncles and cousins and grandparents himself.
