Are you friends with your ex? Why or whynot?
I've been married 4 times. Two of my ex-husbands I can not stand and want nothing to do with them. They were extremely abusive. Now, as for the other two. The one lives in another state, that is the reason we got divorced. He and I still talk to each other all the time. Although it wasn't until about a year ago that we started talking again. I'm glad we are though. He really is a good person, we just never agreed on where to live. As for my most recent ex. Well, we have a house together and neither of us wants to give it up. We are better friends than we ever were husband and wife. We never should have been married in the first place.
So, do you talk to your ex?

I was married three times. There were two divorces and the last was murdered by his step-father. Not only him but also his mother and his brother-in-law. I haven't seen my first husband in years. I am almost 63 and we divorced when I was 23 but I have seen him once years ago. We talked and enjoyed it. He lives in Texas somewhere and is 77 years old now. My second husband on a little over a year after after my last husbnd was killed. We got along good.

My ex-husband and I are still friends and talk from time to time.
We were together 15 years and married 10 of those, so we sort of grew up together. As we got older, our goals and dreams didn't mesh anymore. We had different aspirations from where to live to how to spend free time to friends to whether or not to have children. After several years of trying to compromise and make things work, we agreed that we would be happier apart.
Since our split was a mutual desire and not because one of us mistreated the other, it has been pretty easy to remain friendly. We even joke that "I like you much better now that I'm not married to you."
I think it is much harder to remain friends when one person wanted out of the relationship/marriage and another wanted to stay in it, or when one person cheated. And if verbal or physical abuse is what led up to a breakup, then I can't even imagine WANTING to be friends!

nope, i never talk to my ex. He's not worth the time. after so many years of being together, I realized he should never even have existed at all.
