Have you ever found that you have things in common with an ex's new partner.

I have found that my ex's new partners have ended up being a friend, as well as the ex on quite a few occasions.

I have probably only had one relationship where it ended badly but have still had a friendship with his new partner. The rest of them (over a number of years, Iam married now) I have remained friends with both.

ex's new partners will always be an a-hole. Same way a current partners ex's are all a-holes. It's the way the world is.

Imagine if we all got along? They'd be no hate, wars, lawyers - truely awful!

And on a semi-serious note. If the new partner knows you are her ex, he might feel a bit put off by this and it might fuel a jealous reaction in their relationship which could cause all sorts of problems. <--- So you can take that as either a bad or a good thing, if you wanna try and mess up their relationship, then stay freinds :D

I'm really good friends with ex-hubby's ex-ex-wife. When me and hubby were together, and he and ex-wife needed to work things out about the kids, me and her got stuff sorted between us and then told him what he was doing, cos the 2 of them just couldn't get along.

Since splitting up she's been one of the most supportive people too, and I think I'll be much better friends with her than with him in the end.

i think it all depends on the ex partner
and the new partner
all people are different

Well following on from my previous thread about feedback about my situation any new woman in my life will have to got on with my ex as we still live together!!!

Not ideal but if we are all mature about it and realise Katharine and myself are mates and nothing more everything should be fine.

Plus it wouldn't be forever, only until the house sells (anyone want to buy a house?).

Though i socialise with Katharine now we both understand once one of us meets someone new that would be all over and back to just standard house buddies.

Just need to find a woman:suspect: :help:

Personally, I keep well out of the way with regards to new partners etc... You're always going to look at them and think "Hmmm she's got a better figure than me" or if she looks like the back end of a bus, you'll think "Hmm is that how he saw me? are we on a par?" lol so it's better to leave well alone, and then you won't know, so you won't have nothing to worry about! lol
