In reply to Curtis73 (Forum Supporter) :
I dated the fiat, the BMW, a bunch of Harleys, a UJM or three, a bunch at 60's American compact cars, and a couple of caddys. But never would say I do. Till I met my wife at 45 years old. Part Camry (dependable as they come) and part Alfa Romero GT (Very mild manared, but ready for adventures) I'm SO blesed!!!

Especially since I don't want to.
Understandable. If I didn't have a child when it ended I would've done the same. Just severed all communication and moved on with my life.
Comment was more directed at Mndsm. Once you have a child with someone, you are linked for the rest of your lives, like it or not. Might as well make the best of it. To be honest, I wasn't the one who facilitated open communication & friendship, she did, but I am glad she did.
Which is precisely why I refused to date anyone with children after my divorce. Just extra baggage.
And let me tell you, especially in Oklahoma where I have friends who have kids starting college this year (we graduated high school in 2000), it's nearly impossible to find a woman in her 30s without children.
If there isn't kids involved I pretty much always think that no contact is the best way.
Exes are the turds of life, doesn't matter how good the meal was, it's a turd now, flush it.
Most people I know that do stay in contact with their exes end up worse for it
