[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 112159, member: 3626"] I think your co-workers are jealous. The ability to maintain relationships with exes and exes' families is a good thing. I've had three true relationships in my life -- my husband, my soulmate, my friend. While my ex-husband didn't want a child in his life, we still keep in contact and we're there for each other should one of us be in serious need. My soulmate ultimately married another woman. We still talk to each other on the phone on occasion and frequently email each other. My friend was once my lover. He was a friend, then a lover and fiance and then back to my friend. We decided we were better as friends than as a couple. I went to his wedding a few years ago and was a bridesmaid. His wife knows we are close friends, she does not know we were actually engaged and, hopefully, will never know. Friends are a special and rare commodity. The fact your friends are exes or just their families is irrelevant. The fact they are your friends is what matters. Even if an exes' family aren't truly friends, they are still related to your children. So, the better the relationship, the better it is for your kids. Let the busybodies worry about their lives. This part of your life is good. [/QUOTE]
