You guys are cracking me up! I didn't know you had an EXW Grit. How interesting! Me, I have two ex's, both of whom I have no feelings for but friendship. That was a necessary must as we had kids. Now, they take up for me like any other friend. They both think my H is a d*ckhead.

My advice? Not that you asked, but here goes. If you can be friends with your Ex ( after all it's been years) Just friends, then there is nothing wrong with that. If you think there is an ulterior motive to her call-change your number.

Me, I had as many guy friends as girlfriends in school. I could work on cars with them, etc. It's a different experience, but a rewarding one. As long as that's all it is. Just friends.
