What is your relationship with your Ex like?

I wish I never had an ex to begin with, to be honest. :) I was someone's girlfriend for a whole month until I realized it was all wrong from the get go. Thankfully, that experience has taught me that I should appreciate the boyfriend I've had for almost 7 months now who treats and respects me like a human being. ^_^ Though lately it's more like a princess than that, hehe. I'm glad you and your ex have things so well balanced!

i am not a friend of my ex, i always consider that she is a selfish girl. we were together for 8 years from high school, finally broke up.

my ex and I really dont get along anymore because he did treat me terribly. But some of my other relationships I am still friends with someone. I think I could raise a child with someone and not be involved. I don't think it's at all stranger.

I think that's wonderful!! That's how it should be but unfortunately, I don't think I could ever be friends with my ex-husband. I'm glad our boys were nearly out of high school when he left us but the way his selfishness threw their lives into a tailspin pretty much precludes any future relationship between us. I always thought that parents should be the best of friends, always. I'm glad for all three of you, especially your son, that you both have managed to be mature and enjoy such a relationship. :-)

with regards to my ex boyfriend, i am friends with him but we never see each other ever.. whenever i see him online, i find time to just buzz him up and say hello and ask him how he is doing.. he does the same thing to me.. there is really nothing wrong with befriending an ex boyfriend unless he is doing something that has gone beyond your limits.. kiss and telling is not really good as what i have experienced with my other ex and he didnt deserve my friendship.. everytime he sents me a message in friendster, i dont reply to him but whenever i intend to reply to his message, i just tell him to bug off and leave me alone. i tell him to stop sending me messages because i dont want to receive any of those anymore from him.. haha.. bad me but sorry.. i just dont like talking to a liar like him... i am honest with my present boyfriend with regards to this topic.. everytime my ex sents me a message, i would normally show the message to him just so he wont think of me doing hanky panky...

I'm just a teenager but my ex actually moved out of the state. Her dad switched jobs and it sort of forced us to break up. It was one of those things that just sort of happened.

if you are talking about ex boy friends i think most of them are friends of mine, i even got them to be god parents of my children. but with my ex husband, i dont know where he is and dont care. he is a very abusive man that shows only when we are married and i dont want him to be my friend

My ex is one of my good friends now. It was an odd story. Long story made short, after 3 years of dating we broke up and one year later I married his best friend. It was not a good situation for a long time but all is well now. We see eachother often and enjoy it. Just a side note a little over a year ago he married his ex girlfriends best friend.

I can not be friends with my ex's at all. It just wouldnt work. They are very disrespectul boys who dont care about anyone bout themselves and i just cant handle that kind of personality. They still talk to me sometimes, and i dont understand why because every time they attempt it doesnt go over well. One of them keeps telling his new girlfriend im madly in love with him (even tho weves been apart for almost a year and dont talk barely) just so she doesnt get suspicious on why he always talks to me. And the other who i have been broken up with less than a month is already dating my friend. It just wouldnt work out. Maybe far into the future, but i know right now it wouldnt work out at all us being friends.

I think it is beautiful that you and your ex are on such good terms. That is how it should be. My ex and I are not best friends but we are on good terms and do care a great deal about each other. Even when we don't agree on an issue with our daughter, we talk it over respectfully and come to some sort of agreement. We do attend events for our daughter together and he has come to some of my family functions. I actually have been married twice. When my Oldest girl got married, both exes were there as well as both of my mom-in-laws. I danced with both exes which my daughters just loved. Other people do find it odd. Many couples do battle as much if not more after a divorce which makes you wonder why they even got divorced if not to end the battle. Its not healthy for the kids. Divorce is painful and alot of emotions fly but it is important to find a way to make peace and especially when kids are involved. Your child is very lucky to have such great parents!

I only have one ex and now we are good friends maybe just like you and your ex. But one thing that I feel totally wierd is we are moving far away to each other.I mean in the mind's way. I don't know if we have changed.

You are fortunate...I could never do that with my son's dad. you are not alone though...i actually sold a house to a lady who was like this with her ex- she ended up having him buy the house instead...i could not believe they would want to be legally entangled like that again! But hey, to each their own, hopefully your kids will be better because of it! My poor son faces so much confusion which I blame a lot on his dad, who is only minorly involved - he sees our son for about 5 hrs a week...my son hates going with him and makes such a huge scene about it...hAha, to get an idea of it, see my post "my son came home with no hair!" that should sum it up pretty well!

I am not friends with any of my ex's. I tried to be but I just never see them. The father of my daughter, I dont know if we would remain friends or not. I wish we could and be like you and your ex but I dont think we would. We would have to fight over our daughter and that will make us hate each other. But who knows what the future holds. Maybe in the end we will end up as friends. I know we wont be together forever and he knows that too.
