about divorced couples...

I dated my ex about 6 years after we were divorced. It didn't work out. It turned out that he was still abusive and I didn't want to put up with that anymore. We are still friends now and he and his girlfriend come to all of the parties that my husband and I have for the kids that my ex and I had together. No, it is not wise to date your ex if they are re-married. That would be just plain wrong.

It might make their new partners feel jealous or uncomfortable. I can't imagine why they would still hang around each other. Perhaps if it has to do with their kids, then it is acceptable for them to talk about what's going on and how they can help the kids since their parenthood still continues after their divorce. And they should do this in an official manner say, with the kids around or with their new partners.

Why shouldn't they? They are free to date anyone they want after they divorce, so why can't it be each other? My husband was married once before he married me. He and his ex wife dated for a bit before he and I got together and even considered getting remarried, but he pulled his head out of his a*s and realized why he divorced her in the first place -- she was never faithful to him. So they did date, did go out and did sleep together after they divorced, but thankfully they did not remarry or they'd just divorce again. But I have seen people marry, divorce, date other people then get back together and either live together or actually get married again.
