Ex's

[Nebulous]

Well me and my daughter have had season passes to an amusement park in the area. They sent us a couple guest passes and I decided to take my daughter's mother (my ex) and her son (not mine) along with my daughter of course. We are going in the morning. This does not seem like any big deal to me, we are friends and are nice to each other most of the time so its not a big deal to go out and do something fun together once in a while. At work today a few people asked me what I had planned for the weekend and I told them. Some were shocked that I would invite them and others were saying I was trying to get back with my ex. Everyone said was lucky to be able to get along so well with my ex, & that its beneficial for our daughter. I suppose I should feel fortunate because Ive seen other failed relationships with kids involved that were just a nightmare for them and everyone in their path.

My daughter's mom isn't the only ex I have that I am friendly with. Some I have lost contact with but if I ran into them again, I couldn't see any negativity being brought up.



Anyway I figured this would be a good topic idea...



How do you get along with your ex's? Were you able to become friends with any of them.

I agree with the above statement. So many failed relationships involving children wind up with the ex's saying hurtful and nasty things about the absent parent. The children then wind up in a tug o' war situation. They feel guilty when they don't take sides and it's an awful emotional burden to place on children.

I was not able to become friends with some of them due to the circumstances that lead them to become my ex. There have really only two that I have been able to remain friends with. I was able to do this because both these relationships ended with each of us deciding we would make better friends than we would trying to start a serious relationship.

Nahh, they're ex's for a reason. It'd be awkward.
