Do you get along with your spouse's ex?

Question

I get along with my husbands ex--they've been divorced for 13 years and we'vebeen married 10 (and were dating just as their divorce was finalized). She loves my kids and comes over to see them with her (and my husbands) daughter. Just curious about who else gets along with the 'ex'.

Answer 1

not me never have never will.

Answer 2

i think it sounds fine.  if everyone is completely over everyone than i think it's completely possible and don't agree with the other responder that the ex is just trying to see your husband.

i think it's cool to have the support and it's great for all the kids to still have the extra people in the life with no drama

Answer 3

i like my husbands ex. shes just a very cool down to earth person. my husband i think finds it odd though because he would never get along with any ex of mine. but then again niether would i.

Answer 4

I get a long fine with my husbands first ex and my husband gets along with my ex and my ex in-laws and I get along with my ex's new wife.  So I guess you can say we all get a long.  Life is to short to hold grudges especially when kids are in the picture.  I guess you can say we are one of the lucky ones.

Answer 5

My husbands ex is psychotic. She's mean, manipulative, racist, evil, immature, childish, and incredibly dumb. The moment that she called me, 3 days after we were dating and left me 4 messages, threatening me, calling me a home wrecking b&tch, telling me that she was going to fight me for him, telling me that she was far better looking then me...was when I completely wrote her off.

So in a short word - no. We don't get along. At all. And we have only spoken one time, 2 years ago.

I don't waste my time with women like that.

Answer 6

I get on rather well with my wife's ex husband.  A little better than she does, in fact.

Answer 7

My now (ex) Hubby #2's first wife hated my guts!  It didn't matter that I treated their 3 kids great, let two of them live with us, and tried to be a good influence in their life.  She was miserable and tried to make our life that way too.

Then when we divorced and he started dating this s***k that wanted NOTHING to do with his children...a light bulb went off in her head!!!  She actually started being nice to me and told me that she appreciated all I did for the kids!  Yea right!  Well, he and I are considering reconciling, so we'll see if she goes back to her old ways!  Who knows...maybe our split up taught several people a lesson or two!

Answer 8

My husband's Ex and I get along about as good as 2 Pitbulls would get along.

She is one of those Ex wives that use the kids as leverage and I think she is extremely immature. I have a 'No contact" order on her because she has caused so many problems. She is Psycho to say the least. I tried as hard as I could to get along with her. But she made absolutely no effort at all. Every time his kids went home after visitation she would send nasty emails to my husband accusing me of treating her kids badly.

I got fed up and told my husband I would no longer be left alone with his kids because I was afraid she was going to accusing me of being mean to her kids and I couldn't handle the stress from her.

Now she is making it so my husband can't see his kids at all. If you ask me she does not deserve to have kids.

Answer 9

I dont get along with any of my boyfriends Exs.

s***w them.

Answer 10

never in a million years would i talk to or associate with her.

Answer 11

There is a reason why she became my ex and my current wife cannot stand her either.

Good for you and family's ability to forgive and get along.

Answer 12

No, they were never married, but they have a daughter together.  She is immature and petty and pretty much impossible to get along with, so he's civil to her, and I don't deal with her at all.

Answer 13

nope and i would rather not.

Answer 14

at first no,when i first started dating her he was stocking us and threaten to kill me several times.he even showed up at my work place and called me out.but after a while he realized that he had no chance of getting back with her.they also had a child together and he saw how well i looked after and cared for her.we became friends and he was always welcome at our house,he would just pop in sometimes and stay for dinner etc.he even stayed over night a couple of times.i was so happy that we got along because it made it so much more comfortable for him to spend time with his daughter and he was a big part of my wife's past life.

Answer 15

nooooo

Answer 16

no offense or anything but i think shes faking it, just to see ur husband

Answer 17

actually, my dad and my moms new husband get a long quite well.  they go golfing together and drink beers and hang out just like friends would, weird i know. but cool cause theres no tension when we're all together.  and they had no prior friendship before.  

Answer 18

Uhh, I don't have to worry about that:  the Past has passed.
