...i am very good friends with my first ex (my kids dad)

we had a good friendship all throughout our marriage. i was the one who wanted the divorce, not him. we decided we would continue to co-parent our children.

we can hang out together, give each other rides if one's car is in the shop, pick/up drop/off at the airport, etc. we even go out for dinner occasionally, as a ''family.''

(my 2nd ex - he is in a different country. but if he were right next door i would never ever speak to him again. he's a total loser )

my boyfriend understands about my friendship with my 1st ex, and he totally trusts me that it is ONLY friendship. nothing else is there and won't ever be.

please keep in mind, if children are not involved, it could be very painful and very awkward at first, to be friends. but it is possible. one of my very best friends in life, is my first serious boyfriend from college. we were together about 8 years, when he dumped me for someone else. he ended up marrying her and it was painful for me for 3 yrs or more - then we were able to be very close friends. but we DID need that space between us for some length of time.

my best wishes for you
