We are very good co-parents...we are civil, I don't think I'd go so far as to call him my friend. Generally, I only keep friends that don't screw me over
We get along and are friendly. He was here a lot these days to help me fix the house before closing. We've gone shopping together (at Home Depot and such) he boughts us lunch, we talked about a lot of things, we joked...I will say that things are now back to where they were during the good times of our marriage. After the house is sold, we'll have no reason to stay in touch, except maybe for the cat (he has agreed to take him when I go back home for a couple weeks). So I believe we will go on separate ways. And I am fine with it.
I have 2 other exes: an XFI and an XBF. The XFI and I do not talk, though I am friends with his current FI (who is XH's XGF... it is actually how I met XH). XBF and I remained friends for quite awhile and just drifted apart and lost contact. I still miss him from time to time and consider trying to contact him again.

I have never been "friends" with an ex, even though one was a coworker I saw all the damn time and always had to be polite.
DDH, on the other hand, remained not just friends but actually pretty close friends with several of his exes. I got married in one ex's living room and still send Christmas cards to at least three, and exchange Christmas gifts with one of them.
He had very good taste in women, apparently, because they're all very nice, and I consider them my friends now.
