A few years ago we went on a trip to georgia it turns out we took our van but his exwife his daughter went with us to save money we all stayed in the same room we go camping together and we go to her house and eat she has told me many times she does not want her ex back and I am glad people might think it's odd but for me it's ok because we get along really good I just did not know if any of you was friends with youre spouses ex?

Well, I think it depends on the person or the kind of ex wife that you'll have to deal with. And maybe if your husband and his ex do have children then it well be good for the kids because after all they are brothers or sisters in the truest sense. However, if I would be in your shoes, I think that it would be really awkward or uncomfortable to be with someone whom your husband has also called wife.

It's not as odd as you might think.
Though my guy's exwife ticks me off quite a bit, we also get along rather well a lot of the time. We don't always agree on each others' parenting methods.. but we also know that for the sake of his daughter, we HAVE to be civil.

I wouldn't say it's odd at all. Chances are ( maybe I'm wrong) but you and the ex-wife maybe have similarities in character considering he chose to be with both of you at one point or another. It shows maturity and confidence that you're able to be friends with her, I think it's great.

The only ex that my husband has is someone that he hasn't seen since a long time before we met and that means that I have never met her either. However, I am still friends with one of my exes and my husband is becoming friends with him as well. I really don't think that there is anything wrong with being friends with your spouse's ex if you know that the relationship that your spouse has with their ex is a healthy relationship and not something that could damage your relationship.

Dear kylanie,your are such a nice person,so generous,if it is me,have a trip with exwife is quite weird,and stay with her and spend the vacation is unbelievable for me.
But may be this ex-wife is your friends as well,if yes,I can accept this too,there are nothing can not pass in our life,so if can be friends,why not?
