My hubby's ex mother in law is so COOL!

That was so sweet of her I do not have any relationhip with ex in laws at all The Brother of my Ex Husband only lives an hour away but he does not talk to me He has split up with his Wife to and she never contacts me but hey I am just fine I hope you are to Love you Sweetie and tell me when it is a good Day to ring as I would like to speak to you before you go in

I do think you are blessed to have such a wonderful in law, some more an ex MIL. lol. Personally I feel if the mother-in-laws treat their daughter-in-laws as friends, the world would indeed be a more peaceful place. Cherish the friendship and may God bless you a speedy recovery, my friend :)

Wow... Your husbands ex MIL? Is he still talking with her as well? I do not have any Ex MIL and neither does my husband, but if your husband and her family is cool with this, then I see nothing wrong with it. And hey, who ever set rules in stone that you could not continue to be friends even after a Divorce, etc? Good Luck with your surgery. Will be Praying for the best.

that is very unusual to say the least. your very luck the woman is so graceful don't you think. Your hubby must be a heck of a man if his ex mother in law is still so caring about him and his family don't us think. I think it is wonderful though, so remember to treat her just a nicely as she does you two. Good luck on you surgury and all the best.

I know someone that continued to live with his in laws even after the divorce. His ex wife remarried and went to live in her husbands home. He always treated his in laws as if they were his parents, since his own had passed away when he was young and after he married his wife they formed a bond. I don't know if he remarried as this was many years ago and in a another city, but good people will always amaze you.

that's very sweet of her. and it reflects well on you that you've managed to stay so close to her. i guess it's sad when people break up, but sometimes i stay close to the other people in a friend's life, even though we are no longer friends. I guess in some ways they have become my friends as well, even though i first got to know them through someone else. I dont' have an ex. or ex-inlaws for that matter so i guess i can't really say much more! All the best for your surgery though, and I'm sure that robe warms your heart and not just you! take care.

I don't have any ex in-laws in the family. My husband and I have been married many years and it's our first marriage. You are very fortunate to have such a sweet person in your life to get you such a nice gift. I'm excited for you. Have a great weekend and good luck with your surgery, carolbee

You're definately not a weirdo at all and Thank God for good people. You are a very genuine person and obviously so is your husband and the ex in-laws. Why can't everyone be this decent. I'm so happy for you, I just wished I wasn't so scared of surgery all the time. Good luck hon, I really mean that!!!

Now, I won’t call you a weirdo by any means but this is an unusual relationship! She must be a very special woman indeed and you’re very lucky to have her as a friend. Your husband is very lucky as well because I think most ex-in-laws can be pretty nasty, of course depending on why they became an “Ex”. Annie

Isn't it great when you can actually get along with an in-law? My Hubby's mom is a...shall we say...not nice person. We just never hit it off. When my youngest Brother and his g/f came to stay with us she suggested that my Brother and I leave and his g/f could stay with Hubby (who was my b/f at the time). That really rubbed me the wrong way. Then there was the time that I planted a whole garden full of stuff and just as it started to get stuff growing she let her other son's g/f mow it all down. That p*ssed me off. We rarely speak to each other and in truth most of his family doesn't have anything to do with him. It's allright though...I have alot of family and they all get along with him pretty well. It was really sweet what your MIL did for you...sounds like a really nice woman. Count your blessings. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Honestly, my brother had less trouble with his in-laws than he did with his wife! Since I've never been married, the only in-law I've ever had was my now ex-sister-in-law, the one he had so many problems with.... He's done MUCH better picking girl friends since then!

I have an ex sister in law that still attends all our family functions! When my kids got married they wanted her there and she is in the family pictures...my brother was married to her for 20 years..and she has very little family so we still include her which I think is wonderful on behalf of my newer sister in law who has so much class she just deals with it. And since it just for weddings etc...it's not a big deal.

No ex-in-laws, but we're good friends with our daughter's ex-boyfriend... she thought he was coming around to check up on her... the only reason he comes around is that he really enjoys talking trucks with Hun!

That robe will be doubly warm because not only is it beautiful but it was given to you by a beautiful lady :-) That's pretty cool that you're still such good friends with your ex MIL! I've only been married once and I never met John's ex-in laws (or his ex, for that matter... she remarried and moved clear across the country after they split. I don't know if that was a comment on their relationship or just a coincidence LOL)

I do not have an ex in-laws. My daughter-in-law's mother and father are divorced and I get along with all the sets, but we hardly see them much. Most of the time, I see her mother and her stepfather, and I get along with my daughter's grandmother, because she is a nice lady and I happen to get along with grandmothers. She had had a couple of parties, the engagement party and the baptism party for my granddaughter. Oh and the after wedding party. So she is a very nice lady.

Your husband's ex-mother-in-law? That does seem a bit complex. But if his first marriage ended amicably and he was friends with his mother-in-law I guess it is possible to have a good relationship even after remarrying. In my case my spouse never knew my ex-mother-in-law. She was a terror and I was glad to be shed of her! The ex-spouse as well! We continued to have contact because of the children, but I'd not call it a close relationship, not even friends, more like acquaintances. I think it speaks well of your spouse that he and his ex-MIL are still friends. And also of you for not being jealous of his past.

It's great that you have such a good relationship with your MIL. Wish I could say the same but she's your normal everyday witch from hell. I stay away from her as much as possible. lol

I think it's absolutely hysterical that you and your husband's ex mother-in-law are buddies. I have never heard of that one before but I think it's marvelous. Obviously, he is close to her as well or you guys wouldn't be and it's great to know that he didn't lose that connection. Of course, I'm assuming he has children with his ex so it's always best that everyone stays on good terms because of the kids. Way too many people use their kids as weapons when a divorce happens. I used to work for a family law attorney and I saw some horrible situations and knew so many people who put their children and their former spouse through so much unnecessary trauma and it never accomplished anything. It just caused a lot of pain. Since no one in my immediate family has been through a divorce, we have no ex in-laws. In fact, my parents will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in April. I'm so proud of them for accomplishing that feat in this day and age of disposable marriages. Anyway, thanks for sharing your story.

What a joy it is to read this...because you give out so many warm, fuzzy comments, love and energetic hugs to all of us that you deserve a warm, soft robe to wrap yourself up in!!! See...living proof that what goes around...comes around. You give out love...and your mother in law is the channel for it to come back to you! Good for you....may those channels open wider...with more happiness, health and abundance flowing into your life and all you love! In regard to the in-law question...I do not think it is weird..just another way of showing that love heals all things. In my case it did not work out that way directly...although because my ex's family does not live close to where I was when we split up. Good post...and it brightened my day to know your needs are being attended to. My thoughts and prayers are with you and trust you will go through this and come back to share how you made out as soon as possible. Take care...and happy landings.. Raia
