Do you stay friends with your siblings exes, specifically ex spouses? Do they consider you a friend and you them? Would you hang out with them even after your sibling and this person split up?

Depends on the people involved. If the ex was someone I liked and he/she hadn't abused my sibling in any way, and I wanted to stay in touch, I would.

Generally speaking, no one in my family would take offense at who anyone else in the family chose to be friends with, ex in-law or not.

We're not controlling types.

In my wife's family of 10 there were several ex's who stayed around, one is part of the family and we see her on every holiday.

PS generally speaking, ex boyfriends and ex husbands do tend to hang around in our family. We often joke the men we've gotten involved with are more interested in being in our family than with the individual. The one exception was my ex husband, but he hated my family and tried to keep me away from them.

Sure, why not? Especially when there are children involved and there are healthy, positive relationships between the ex-whatever and the family. If there is abuse of any kind, including substance abuse, thats a hard No but if everyone remains kind and considerate to each other I feel it teaches children some useful skills in how to separate conflict between 2 parties and see people for who they really are.

It would depend on whether I liked the person before the divorce. If the divorce wasn't because of heinous activity, sure. If children are involved, all the more reason to stay friends.

I still keep in touch with my ex's mother and his sister through text. If I lived near them now, I would probably visit them.

So you'd call this person to go to a movie with or out to lunch? Let's say your sibling has move on and is with someone else.
