I'm sure he's entitled to live wherever he wants so theres nothing she CAN do about it .Let him get on with his life an dshe can get on with hers ,none of her business if he's living in the same place .

Oops, sorry I misread that, I thought it was your ex you were talking about.
Please ignore.

Be civil to the ex and get on with her life.

Why should it upset her?
You do not say how long you have been divorced but if your ex has re-married and has moved, why does that have to affect your friend?
Life is full of coincidences, no big deal.

I had a call from my oldest friend last night (we have known each other for 50+ years!). I could tell from her voice that something was wrong and when she told me I was horrified on her behalf.

She and new husband moved to a large village last year and are very happy. At an event last night, as she was handing round canapes, she came face to face with her ex and his new wife! It turns out they have recently moved to the same place - coincidence or......

My advice (the same as her DH) was to ignore him and not to let him upset her but what would others do?
