Isn't it amazing how most of us (at least at the beginning) are more than willing to more than interact with our Xspouses but not the OP....almost like we shift the blame to the OP.
Actually, it's because (in most cases) our ex's are a given in the lives of our children - we have to deal with the former spouse (their other parent) being in the picture, but not so the OP.
I don't speak to the new Mrs. X (formerly OW) at all, and I speak to X as little as possible. I don't blame her anymore than him, just don't respect or trust either one of them, so I don't talk to them.
