Do you hang out with your ex

libby73 · January 2010

I think something is up with my friends wife and her ex-boyfriend. It was a girls night out tonight and my friends wife talked most of the night about things she & her ex boyfriend have been doing with her kids. She is a sahm and the exboyfriend is unemployed so they have been hanging out each day and doing things with the kids. I can't imagine having a playdate with ds and my ex but maybe that's just me.

exhausted_bride · January 2010

Sounds like an adult playdate to me...

I have gone out to lunch with my ex and DD. No biggy.

Something a little strange about that.....

Wow something is DEF up!

funny...I have 2 good friends that are exes...does that mean I'm "doing them"?

it would depend on the situation i guess. how serious the relationship was. my hs boyfriend and i still hang out. dh loves him too. he was in an accident recently and i even had him stay here so i could take care of him. but his sis is my best friend. he is essentially family. i can see it being ok.

he's an ex for a reason. something is probably up with them.

Honestly, I think that is what is going on. Why in the hell would a single man want to hang out with a very nagging women (in this case) and 2 kids that aren't his own EVERY DAY. I think they are either having an affair or he's into kids. This friend started talking about traveling from NC to NY over the summer with him to visit the mountains. Interesting..

I'm still friends with all of my exes except the one I was married to. One of them is out of work right now and we had actually talked about going bowling soon & grabbing some lunch (we used to bowl on a league together). I have absolutely NO interest in my exes beyond just being friends and hanging out. I can only speak for myself, though.

Some of them yes. DH is friend with 2 of them actually. We hung out with one of them on our vaction to Texas. The other one I have become good friend with his wife and I am going to Germany to visit her soon. I have one ex that often comes back home to Detroit every six months or so. We normally have dinner and a drink or two.

Around Christmas 2008 we where waiting for our table. I had DS with me and was waiting for DH to pick him up from the restaurant. A random lady made a comment about how she hope our baby was quite during dinner. I could help but tell her his dad was one his way to get him. The dirty look she gave me was epic.

wow.. no i do not. cordial if we see each other but that is the extent.

I do when we go to Orlando. He gets me things for free at Disney. I can put a bad year-long break-up behind me to get comped dinners and a VIP pass that keeps me from waiting in any lines.

The only ex I've ever hung out was married to one of my dearest friends--she was a bridesmaid in my wedding. And we jokingly both refered to our "relationship" as the summer in college that I was his personal DD (Designated Driver...not Dear Daughter Wink ). He and his wife lived 2 doors down from us for a year and we all hung out all the time. Even so, there were only a handful of times that he and I were "alone" without his wife/my husband...usually when we were helping each other out with something (like he helped me take our dog to the vet, and I helped him chase down his dog when he ran away!). I cannot imgine hanging out with any of my exes on a regular basis, without our "others" with us...especially those that were more serious.

I definitely would be suspicious of your friend's wife, unfortunately.

hellll no.

This pretty much sums it up.

My high school boyfriend of 3.5 years came to FL from GA to our wedding 3 years ago, as did his parents from IN. He is married with 2 kids and I talk to his wife more than him now. DH likes him, but I think he'd have a problem if we were hanging out every day and planning a vacation together!
