Question

Do ex-husbands buy there ex-wife b-day presents?

Answer 1

I am the ex-wife, and I used to buy birthday and Christmas presents for my ex-husband so that our son had something to give him.  But he never did anything for me, and spent the next 9 years telling my son how awful I was anyway (still does).  I stopped buying gifts, but still encourage my son to make a card for him.

So no, unless you are maintaining a friendship, I wouldn't bother - you shouldn't do it if it is only because you feel obligated.  But do it if you feel you would like to, just make sure the gift is impersonal or it might be taken the wrong way.

And if you have kids, it is a nice gesture to take the kids shopping for a gift for her, or at the very least do a drawing or take a photo for her.  But you aren't doing it for her, you are doing it for the kids.

Answer 2

nope.... it's as simple as that.

Answer 3

my ex-husband does but says its from our daughter and lets her help pick it out. My fiance has no issue with it at all.

Answer 4

Absolutely not......no way......out of the question.......h**l nooooo......that is so disrespect full to your new wife if you do that.  

Answer 5

If they are on good terms then... why not. He is not obligated anymore but... he can.

Answer 6

It depends if they are still friends!

Answer 7

yes of course if you are still friends and if you have a new wife she knows all about it and has no problems with it.

Answer 8

No, do not waste your money.  I could see it if the kids wanted to buy the other parent something and you helped your kids but for one ex to buy the other ex a gift, that is just dumb.  And actually the kids are the ones who deserve the gifts anyway, so spend the money on them.

Answer 9

It's a nice gesture if they are still friendly.  

Answer 10

sometimes~~ just depends on the situation I guess

Answer 11

no time to get on with your new life

Answer 12

Unless he wants you back and has no one else in his life. If not, you wish!

Answer 13

No they don't.  Most just talk about how much they hate each other.

Answer 14

yea they can it depends are your relationship

if your still friends.

i know most people hold marriage at a higher live but what if you where seriously dating and broke up and remain friends

a former marrage can be the same thing

Answer 15

Yes they do.

Due to the fact they're sucking up! lol..

especially if there are kids involve.

Answer 16

If they are on good terms.

Or if he bought it with the intent of saying it's from the kids.

Answer 17

I think it is a nice gesture, but not required of course.  I don't think I would go all out, but maybe a nice card or flowers-something simple.

Answer 18

no, I don't think something like that should be started.  eventually, you will get involved with another woman and it would create tension if you are running around buying gifts for the ex.
