I get a lot of people visiting this blog looking for ways to cope with hostile or malicious ex wives--as well as some strange, unrelated searches that my blog happens to stumble into (i.e., Canadian Female Impersonators), but I had a hit today from the following search words:
is it appropriate to buy the wife and ex wife the same gift?
I can't believe there is someone foolish enough to even ask that question. So, short answer: NO. Long answer: as someone dealing with an ex wife who is still SO obsessed about her ex husband that she not only follows my blog two YEARS after Andy & I got married and more than 5 YEARS after their divorce, she's crazy enough to send printouts from my blog to our attorney to document how crazy and obsessed she is, I cannot imagine a single instance when it would be even vaguely appropriate to give your ex wife a gift, much less the same one you are giving your current wife. As our crazy ex would do well to finally realize, when marriages end, they are over. Finished. The other person may indeed care NOTHING about you after divorce. In fact, that's highly likely. Even if children are involved, caring about the child does not translate into caring about the ex.
No wonder so many second marriages fail. Buying them the same gift, indeed. That would be the fast track to divorce.

Whoa! That's a pretty silly question :)
