How do you get along with your Ex?
My post on gifts for the ex's got me thinking. How do you get along with your ex? I think it's harder when you have kids together 'cuz you never really divorce them - just move into separate houses! And the Holidays can really bring out the worst in a divorce.
We all know Nina and her ex are good friends who socialize together. I get along OK with both ex's (his and mine - we all live in the same town, which is great for the kids) but we don't hang out unless it's a kid's event. Keep in mind it's been over 15 years for all of us, so a lot of time has passed to heal those open wounds. What about you guys?

I don't, of corse it's tough communicating with a corpse in the back yard!!!!!(j/k)
Haven't spoke to her in 15 years. I do speak to her brother once and awhile. My divorce was like "The War of The Roses".

I could write a book - but will sum it up and say I haven't spoken to the psycho female dog from hell in several years, which is just fine with me.

It's been tough for me to visit my ex. I'm stuck here in reality and her world is somewhere over the rainbow. And I really hate her little flying monkeys!

If I want to see how my ex is doing, I just read the police blotter.

cheryl answered for me.
 i will say it wasn't always peaches and cream. the first couple of years after our divorce, we didn't speak. when sherry came into ron's life, all of that changed. she's outgoing, bubbly, sweet as can be and was the main reason we became friends. she's a little on the ornery side, too, and thought it would be fun for the 4 of us to go out together just to see peoples' reactions. if you live in a small town, you'll know what i mean.  ron was so helpful during gary's illness. he made several trips to take gary for chemo and radiation, just to give us a little break. he often came out to the house during the day to visit gary when i was at work. he has been more than generous with financial gifts to us over the years and sometimes, for no particular reason, he would send a "thinking of you" card with a check. they both took gary's death really hard, bless their hearts.

There are absolutely no words that would be UA tolerant to describe how I feel about my husband's ex-wife! It has been over 15 years and she has still not gotten past the opportunity to inflict pain upon him. She really needs to get a life. And I can count 2 times in the past month that she has tried to get them to "work together" by meeting with each other. I think my husband would rather have another vesectomy (sp?) without pain meds than meet with her! I feel very sorry for her current husband! She seems to be one of those people who never truly get over their ex!

I've always found FedEx to be reliable. Occasionally it will take an extra day to get a package, but they have never let me down.

I got married for the first time at 37 years old so I don't have an ex. I'm glad I waited so long after hearing some of the stories here!!!

I've only spoken to her once in the past 20+ years - maybe 10 years ago
At the time I told her not to ever call me again |

I think it is fascinating that the person most hated in someone's life is the same person who at one time was the most loved.

Haven't talked to mine in like 10 years and that was by accident, havent seen her in like 15.
She isn't worth hating Actually I was just relieved it was over. We just met at a bad time, I was maturing thinking about building a future and she was regressing into her second teenage period and just living for the next concert or party. After the fact I realized many of our issues were cause by drug use I wasn't aware of at the time. She tried to beat me up twice, She was 5'5", I am 6'5" Still a real mind blower when this person who is supposed to love you comes at you kicking and swinging. Last I heard from her she had her crap pulled together or at least was headed that way. I really hope she does well in life. We were friends before it moved to a more serious place. I should have been able to see she had a completly different set of priorities than I did, DUMMY!!!But hey, it trained me so I could find a new wife, a better wife, one who makes good money and hates to shop, I am blessed I was already pretty sure about this one, then I had my little "issue" back in 2000. After 5 months in the hospital, 7 months in a chair and the last 7 years staggering around on crutches there's no doubt. I got it right this time.

My ex boyfriend andI get along great if we run into each other. We live in the same small town, and he is often up to my nieghbors house, who is his cousin.
He'll plow out the driveway if it needs it, or he'll follow me into town to make sure I get there alright if there's a lot of snow. Other than that, we don't make plans to hang out.
