[quote=Anonymous]We divorced amicably a couple years ago. When we told our families that we were separating, everyone's families communicated with everyone. When his dad came to visit shortly after I moved out, we had lunch without my ex. We'd always been close and he just wanted to make sure that I was doing okay, wasn't losing my marbles, etc. Before the divorce, I sent "dear extended family" emails to my parents, his parents, my siblings and his siblings. I still do that, and I still call it "dear extended family" because they ARE my extended family. I had breakfast with his dad a couple weeks ago, and it was quite lovely. During that conversation, I mentioned that I would be in his city for work later this spring and he invited me to stay at his house. I don't know that I will do that (as I don't know if my ex would be comfortable with that and also my fiance is accompanying me on that trip and I don't know if ex OR exFIL will be comfortable with that), but certainly we do not have an acrimonious relationship.

When and if my ex remarries, I don't know that it will change much. We are friends and co-parents. I suspect that any woman who would not be okay with his dad inviting me out for breakfast or lunch when he's in town would also not be okay with my ex and I having the friendship we have, and such a woman would not get a ring from him in the first place.[/quote]
