Met with my DH's Ex this morning for coffee. On the table next to us there was a couple of English women and we passed the time of day with them and they made a comment about us being mother and daughter. I guess we do look similar and she is very well preserved (she's 66). Anyway we explained our connection and they were horrified, mostly on her behalf and one of them even made a comment about how I was rubbing her nose in the fact that her husband left her for a younger women (he didn't). Is it strange that an ex and a current wife can get on? It's not something that either of us, or DH, have ever thought odd...we met just after DH and I married and although we aren't close friends, we get one well and often meet up when we're in Sweden or she's in England.
