Do you think its weird when ex-spouses remain very close?

To the extent that they still call each other often, will often "vet" each other's future relationships, exchange birthday & Xmas gifts etc etc

Not at all. I think it's pretty nice. Shows how close they really were, and how civil and mature they are.

No. I think all people should strive to keep an amicable relationship with their exes.

I wish my parents were still friends instead of indirectly communicating through my sister and me for the last eight years.

Yes, I think it is weird, inappropriate, especially if either of them have remarried.. I think ex-spouses should be able to be civil for the sake of the children, but anything closer...it's not appropriate.

I look at it this way....if they could be so close now...why didn't they work harder at keeping their marriage together in the first place.

i don't think it is strange at all. you obviously had something in common to be as close as you were.......... why wouldn't you still be close. i think the opposite is more strange actually.

I think it would be uncomfortable if there was a new spouse.

A little, Yea............ I have known two couples like this and it just seems really strange to me.
1) The ex-husband would often be around the couples house because the new husband and he were in a construction business together...all very amicable, (It was Son's mothers father)

2) My aunt's cousin, she "vets" future companions (they have 2 children together) often still attend family functionms together, he comes around and does work for her on the house and they get on really well
To me its just, just......................... I cannnot think of a word for it?

I could imagine the new partner being uncomfortable, but I guess it all depends on the relationships. I don't know if it's weird as in, if people normally do that. I don't think it's something that a lot of people do, I could be wrong.

Yeah, I do. I'm not judging if it works for people, but I couldn't be friends with an ex. Plus as someone in a relationship, I would be uncomfortable with my SO being close with an ex.

Its cute - and real.

How can people share something, and not have some connection.
