When somebody's ex dies

[trekrok]

3 women 45 years. Fought the ex for 2 years for custody, raised 3 kids.
After the kids are grown you tend to quit fighting.

Id see my ex every holiday as my daughter host our events, of corse my current always is there.

We take 8 or 9 people once or twice a year jumping and all three are usually there, along with a couple dozen family member to watch.

My kids are more important than my old feelings, they hate some things that happened but they love us both.

Life’s to short to hate IMO

I'm going to start referring my wife as the 'current' wife. Plant that little seed to keep her from getting too comfortable. Thanks.

Kinda like my "next ex-husband list" ... First time I said that in front of Grumpy he did a double take ... Lol

I have been known to introduce my current (and ONLY) wife as 'This is my first wife ... "

Usually gets some chuckles and a few blank stares.

If my EX passes, i'd never know it probably but I wouldnt wish it on her for sure.

This prayer is my favorite, always kept me grounded in my darkest hour. I said this one so many times…

God, grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change...
Courage to change the things I can,
And Wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.​

If my ex died.

Assuming I know the person well… I’d say, are congratulations or condolences in order?

 

[El Pablo]

She may share children with the ex and need to be there for them……, and wants to make sure he’s dead.

And not sent over to Israel to be buried… I hear a guy was raised from the dead there. While rare, it’s not worth the risk.

Just say, "that's a shame" and leave it at that. That covers all bases.

Where were you at the time of their death?
