Too many fish in the sea, so to speak, to re-cycle a past relationship/friendship

We are civil for the sake of our kids & grandkids, but I'm civil to a total stranger.

That's all I expect from him as well.

I'm not sure that I could, but I'd do my best to remain civil if we had to interact.

It’s a completely different situation if there are children. With no children, it’s best to make a clean cut and move on.

I think it depends on everyone's emotions how they want to interact with an ex.

I’m friendly with my ex because we share joint custody of our children but otherwise I’ve never wanted to be friends with My exes nor them with me, as far as I know, but yes, I do think it’s possible since I know people who are.

My x-dh and his wife have stayed here many times and we have stayed at their place too. We have kids together and now grands,just has made life easier for all involved.

His wife's kids have also stayed here on their own after they grew up. So it can work if you want it to.

No, I would not want any ex lurking around especially after we have known each other's secrets and it goes both ways.

I had dated a guy briefly for a month or two and I broke it off...as I got to know him he was a bit out there for my taste.  After a while he began phoning me off and on for years just to talk . .  finally changed my phone number.

It depends entirely on the two specific people and the circumstancs of their parting.
