Is this appropriate, and should I be concerned?

Question - (15 February 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 16 February 2010)
A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

My b/f and his ex wife text or call each other every single day. They do not have children together. She treated him poorly when she left him for another man, and even stole money from him. Recently they started talking because she convinced him they would both benefit from filing taxes together for 2009 since they were still legally married part of that time. Since then, they have communicated daily. He says he knows it's because she wants money and thinks it'll die down on her side when the refund comes back, yet he also keeps expressing a desire to be friends with her and occasionally get together socially. He says he has no romantic feelings for her since she hurt him so bad, so I can't understand his desire to be friends. Is this appropriate, and should I be concerned?

A female reader, veronika Australia +, writes (16 February 2010):

veronika agony auntIt isn't appropriate. Mainly because they are ex husband and ex wife who broke up on - I'm presuming - bad terms and they're still talking. They both need to move on. He was right in divorcing her and now he has to stop talking to her too, because she can't - in the long run - be a good addition to his life.

Some exes can be friends after divorce and breaking up, but I would suggest most shouldn't attempt it, especially if it ended badly or with one more hurt than the other.
