Friend of a "friend"

In another sign that we are practicing the thoroughly modern marital split, I friended my ex's first wife on Facebook.

After all, she friended him first--but after he friended me. I think.

Though we've only met once or twice, we are on fine terms. I almost feel like I know her, both because his older kids speak of her often, and because I keep getting her mail.

Though she remarried a long time ago, she kept his name. So the government seems to think she lives here--or at least stays with me and the kids now and then.

I wasn't sure that my ex's first wife would allow me to friend her. But she did. I asked him about it, and he said that she probably thought it was hilarious.

I'm feeling pretty smug, myself.
