My ex is such a lying snake it was and still is hard for me to even try speaking with him. We are at this point now where we do not talk and he pretty much leaves me alone which gives me the much deserved peace I need to move on. As for the gf...
It is very hard for me to try and even be remotely nice to her. I have tried, a couple of times, to no avail. She's young and very immature. I do know she's good with my son when she's around but my ex and her are so off and on it's just really hard to tell anymore. When they break up, my ex always has someone else in line for a bit then when that doesn't work out, he's back to the gf. The thing I hate the most is that my ex just brings our son around anyone. There are so many in and out of my son's life it's confusing to him. I on the other hand have only went on a couple of dates and have not brought my son around anyone. I plan on keeping it that way for a while. He needs stability.

I guess what I'm trying to say is it really depends on your situation if you can get along with the gf or not. If she's nice and civil then try but if she gives you nothing but grief, as in my case, I would say just forget it. Don't badmouth or talk about them in front of your kids and just go about your life as normally as you can. It's your choice and you just have to feel out what you think would be the best situation for you:) Good luck!!
