exDH & new SO behavior...
So Ladies,
DH and I separated last year. I am now dating a friend of mine I've known a long time and he was in my wedding, as he and exDH were friendly as well. Friend also teaches DS14 guitar. I am alt a loss with the way exDH and SO interact. SO is gregarious by nature by is overly so, with exDH. ExDH is just as gregarious to SO (and not given that way by nature). It is all man hugs, fist bumps, etc.
SO says he does it so DS14 is comfortable. It is weird and bizarre and quite honestly I ignore the frienemy behavior as much as possible when together. Any opinions? Comments? Should I leave it be?

well do they secretly hate
well do they secretly hate each other? Is there animosity but it just isn't visible? My ex husband got really pissed when I wouldn't reconcile with him and started dating DD20's dad. He would peel out in the driveway or parking lot and just act a a$$. Fast forward six years and they do the fist bump and chatty behavior now too when their paths cross. I saw on facebook where ex husband is making a short movie and DD20's dad donated some money to his go fund me. Yes it's weird for me but I guess I like for my kids to see that everyone can get along. It's not like that with DD20month's ex wife and his former best friend that she left him for. It's still awkward as heck
Let it be as long as he does
Let it be as long as he does not expect the same friendliness from you towards BM.
It's probably some awkward
It's probably some awkward friendly male posturing ritual, like the Bro equivalent of comparing the size of their tail feathers. Just tell them who has the bigger feather and that should settle it.
