Cupid’s Advice:

Not everyone can remain as friendly as Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy. Remaining civil with an ex isn’t easy. You parted ways for a reason, and it definitely wasn’t because you just loved each other too much. Though you may want to run in the other direction every time you see your ex, that won’t help your children at all. Here are some basic ways to remain civil with your ex:

1. Take responsibility: Chances are that when you split from your ex, some ground rules were laid out–either on your own or in court. Follow them. Do not deviate from the schedule, and be sure to hold up your end of the deal. This will help avoid additional issues and show that you respect your ex’s time with your kids.

2. Mind your business: Whether your ex is telling you about a date he or she went on, or your kids are relaying information, if it doesn’t have to do with you or your children, stay out of it. You may feel entitled to weigh in, but don’t do it. Staying out of your ex’s personal life or love life will keep everyone’s lives more simple.

3. Play nice: Maybe you two couldn’t stand each other at the time of the split, but now that you’ve parted ways, tensions should die down. Remain polite when dealing with your ex, especially in front of your kids. If you respect each other, say “thank you” when you can, or do a favor here and there. Co-parenting will work out much more nicely.
