My ex-wife likes my wife now.

My ex-wife, my mortal enemy, is now claiming to really like my current wife. My wife and I are very cautious since my ex-wife hates my guts. My ex-wife is a sociopath with no remorse or the ability to forgive. She is mean, vain and hates most people. Me, I am fun, caring, empathetic and like most everybody. My ex-wife has gone as far as telling her parents that she likes my wife and is glad I have her around (to better take care of our boys when they are with us). She has even sent my wife recipes through e-mail. I am confused. My wife and I agree that at some point she will once again show her true colors. My question is this ... "can some people really change?"

I know a friend who was in this situation (she was the new wife). The old wife was trying to get close to her so that she could poison the new wife's mind about her husband. I don't know what your ex's motivation is but I would be highly suspicious that she has not changed and this was only a ploy to get closer to you two for some reason.

My wife is much smarter than my ex-wife. We use the situation for OUR benefit right now. We hope that it benefits my children in the long run, too.

Nope. People don't change. Some things about them may change, but basically they will stay the same.

I have to agree. It sucks that people do not really change.

I think you already know the answer to your question. If not, here it is: NO!! I have 2 exes, one is a narcissist, the other is an ignorant, abusive jerk. The jerk likes to act all sweet and nice on occassion. I've learned to expect to have papers served within a few days when that happens. He loves to create grounds to take me to court. The narcissist decided that having a child with special needs didn't do anything for him, so he took his new family and left town, disowning our son in the process.

Agreed ... they sound like really great people ... NOT!!! It is pretty predictable after awhile. I was just hoping that she might someday be a nioe human being.
