This article restored my faith in humanity, so thank you!

I’m not friends with my ex’s parents because, like mine, they are long dead but I am friends with my ex. Not that we pal around but we get along. When her mom was alive she was almost a second grandmother for my daughter with my second wife, knitting her sweaters…

My wife gets along with her to and even didn’t object when I lent her money — until the time she she strung me along about paying it back. That was enough for me also. It was the last time I leant her money.

I can almost hear it now . ‘You leant money to your ex? I thought you were an intelligent person!” That’s what a colleague said when, for some strange reason, I mentioned the situation at work. The whole money thing started when she wrote me asking for plane fare to get away from my (ex) best friend, whom she had married. For the price of a plane ticket I get to be reunited with my child? No hesitation.

I better quit now because I’m not sure where this is going. We’re all friends, anyway, that is except her second ex. He couldn’t be any farther out of the picture.
