To think it's weird to stay in contact with an ex if you have no kids together

[jacketoff]

If you are divorced or been in a long term relationship and have no kids with your ex, did you stay in contact at all afterwards?

Why would it be weird

People can stay friends you know

Some people are still great friends after a break up

It's not weird I'm still best friend with my Ex.

Not my exH but others. I mean I liked them enough to be with them for a while, why not?

Depends on the reasons for the break up i suppose...and history.

A few people I know have remained good friends post divorce. They were suited better that way

Dumped him one Sunday night.
Told him to be gone on the Monday before I got back from work.
Not seen him whatsoever in 10 years.
No friend of mine.

My exH and I, while I often want to throttle him, love each other dearly. In fact we work together. No kids. Both now in other relationships.

He's like an annoying relative

Not at all weird. An ex and I have been exchanging birthday and Christmas cards for about 40 years, with snippets of news.

DH of over 30 years has absolutely no problem with this.

Yes and still are

He actually came to my wedding.

We were together 6 years but split up and remained friends

My husband likes him too and he is still a friend of mine although he lives abroad now with his wife and kids. We still stay in touch.

My DH's ex rocked up & got a job at the same office...

I'm not friends with any exes

I think it depends on the relationship and breakup. In some cases it’s wierd, in others totally not wierd.

Totally depends on the relationship and why you broke up

Only weird if you make it weird. I've known my ex husband for over 20 years, we couldn't make marriage work but he's a good friend.

Only had one long term relationship besides my husband, we’re still friends and DH and I are both friends with ex and his wife. Not weird for us but definitely depends massively on individuals and situation.
