I've never done it. Don't think I ever could do it because I'd be too darned mad.
But I think overall it would be harder than having a friendship with an ex-lover or an ex-spouse. Even if it were ethical. We only see one aspect of them in our relationship. And the relationship is so all about us. It would require major renegotiation of boundaries and major realignment of perceptions and expectations. It's like the relationship exists inside a delicate bubble. You'd have to start all over again in the real world.
I'm sure he still cares about you though. And I'm glad that he was able to be helpful to you.
