Yes.

There is a reason she is an ex wife.

My ex tends to wander on to conversation topics that l don’t care about at all and aren’t necessary for me to know about. I’m polite and let it go for maybe 30 seconds and then l steer the conversation back to what we need to talk about so we can co-parent. Ya l could let it annoy me. Sometimes l can’t help being annoyed, but I’m getting pretty good at steering the conversation and not letting it annoy me.

You let her talk to you for that long so you bear some responsibility. If you don't want to talk to her about non-kid related things, use your words and tell her so.

I know a lot of divorced couples who remain friendly or even friends. I don't find this unusual.

Any woman here who says no is lying. Women are very protective and paranoid. They don't trust men and for good reasons. They won't admit it. But trust me they are paying attention. In 7 months on a random Friday night after a glass of wine she will be like "so Lady, what were you talking about with Sarah for 45 mins, you guys were having a lively conversation"

PP. To elaborate, getting divorced is a long multi-step process that makes it very difficult to keep any excitement about the other party. Very, very few people are able to get back together after all that, and only a super tiny % of mentally healthy ones would.

Be careful OP. Unfortunately I had sex with my ex wife twice a few months post divorce. And the second time she was actually seeing someone.

lol, right?!

OP trying really hard to look/feel important when his ex was probably talking about back to school logistics and basic kid shit.

Dude, she's not that into you, and you're not that important. Get over it. She didn't "cross a line" at all, and you said as much yourself.

Drama whore.

My boyfriend and I talk and *gasp* see our ex spouses all the time. Kids come first

[Anonymous]

Ask that most communication be done in writing and remain focused on the kids.

If you aren't talking at least once a week about the kids, I'm not surprised she had a lot to tell you at the beginning of the school year.

She doesn't want you back OP.

What was unfortunate? Did you slip on a banana peel and fall into her V?
