| Would you cry? Attend his funeral? Be sad? What are one's moral obligations under such circumstances? (And I understand circumstaces have a lot to do with it, but I'm curious to know). |

| No. Yes, but only if our 11-year old wanted me to attend his father's funeral. Would be sad for my child. |

| My husbands ex would be only because she gets a life long portion of his military retirement and it is her only income. She loses it upon his death. He could not care less and hopes never to see or talk to her again. |

Not at all. I think of it often.

| Yes. We didn't work out but it ended amicably. He's a good person and a good friend. |

I'd be sad. At one point we were best friends. And this is the father of my children. I'd be sad for them.
I don't think I'd cry. I do think I'd attend his funeral. |

It's sad when anyone dies who is not a complete monster. And even though people divorce for a reason, usually it's not because they are unredeemable. |

| Assuming he is your contemporary, I think it would be sad at least because it is always discombobulating when ones contemporaries die. |

| Don't have an ex but if I did, no. |

If there are children involved, you attend the funeral. You mourn the loss of their father.
If no children, that's a personal decision between you and your soul. |

Yes, he is great dad and a good friend.
He wants to be cremated and does not want a funeral. |

Let's say he cheated with a stripper, in the family home, on the velvet couch, and he's been publicly shammed for this many times....
Then that would be a yes - go to the funeral. cry, be sad, write a bunch of IG posts, and victimize one's self. |

Which one?
The first one: yes. No bad blood, it just didn't work out. (We married extremely young.) The second one: not at all. Abusive asshole. The current one (and to be third ex): yes. He's the father of my children. |

Nope. I'd pray it was painful and drawn out
