History Main / AmicableExes

* Justified in ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}'': [[spoiler: Autumn and Chuy get divorced during their honeymoon because Chuy is physically incapable of living a monogamous lifestyle (his life force is tied directly to his libido.) They're technically still a couple, it's just an open relationship now.]]

** Marten Reed's mother is a famous fetish model, and his father is the owner of a very successful gay nightclub who realizes as an adult that he is himself gay. [[LastHetRomance Their marriage falls apart due to this]], but they remain in friendly contact. Despite being an unsuccessful couple, they are excellent parents to Marten; Veronica's approval for Henry's remarriage is contingent with Marten's. She says that they just make better friends and parents than they do husband and wife. She [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2401 rehearses]] a speech at Henry's remarriage about how he ruined her life, but it's revealed to be just a joke -- Henry's right there and playing along, while Marten is busy choreographing a WeddingSmashers brawl with the groom. The speech she does give (in 2402) revolves around loving your ex.

* ''Fanfic/JWITCHSeries'' (''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' & ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''): Uncle Chan and Yan Lin used to date when they were younger. While they're no longer a couple, they're still very good friends.

* ''Fanfic/EquestriaGirlsMarvelUniverse'': Flash is still good friends with his ex-girlfriend Sunset Shimmer, with Sunset especially helping Flash deal with the grief of his Uncle Ben's death. Downplayed, as Flash's journal reveals they weren't actually "together", more like they had a "hang-out-with-me-and-act-like-we're-together thing", and he is completely afraid of what she might do to him and Thorax when they tell her they told Sci-Twi about the magic around CHS.

* Jefferson Pierce aka ComicBook/BlackLightning and his wife Lynn Stewart split up because of the stress Jeff's superhero life put on their family, but the two remain in friendly contact and Lynn makes sure that their daughters, [[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders Anissa]] and [[ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica Jennifer]] remain in contact with their dad, and both even become superheroes later (though Jefferson was very adamant that Anissa finish college first).

* Commander Badass of ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'' is still on good terms with his ex-wife to the point of having a barbecue together and casually exchanging custody of the kids after work. As a result, it's a huge kick in the tear ducts when [[{{Bishounen}} Nomura]] [[TheVirus Syndrome]] renders the Commander unrecognizable to them. He's also cool with his former team keeping a pin-up of her as their ship's NoseArt, stating that just because they divorced doesn't mean she's not hot anymore.

* Music/{{Belly}} has song "Suffer the Fools", in which Tanya Donelly sings about dividing property with a partner ("You keep my key and my lazy letters/I'll keep the angel that you bought to watch over me") and moving apart, but still hanging out together ("I'll bring that terrible wine you love").

* Skadi and Njord in Myth/NorseMythology are usually seen this way. Their relationship got off on the wrong foot when the Aesir offered Skadi a marriage deal as part of the negotiations to compensate for the death of her father, and stipulated that she had to pick a husband from a lineup of bachelor gods... whom she was only allowed to see from the knees down. Skadi was angling for Baldr, and assumed that the most beautiful of the feet had to belong to him. It turned out that the constant salt soaks put Njord far ahead of his competition, and though she was disappointed, they made a go of it anyway. The brief marriage produced the twins Freyr and Freyja, but it turned out that Skadi and Njord were incompatible roommates - he couldn't stand the wolves howling in her domain, while the seagulls in his drove her nuts. They split up, but given that Skadi still considered her deal with the Aesir to be fulfilled and the couple regularly continued to attend divine events together, there can't have been too many hard feelings.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Anon}}'' has Kyle being this with both Chelsea and Kandi.

* ''Film/YouAreSoNotInvitedToMyBarMitzvah'': Lydia's parents are getting divorced and while there's ample snarking between the two, they take Lydia shopping for her dress together, and also arrive together for Stacy's party.

** Post-''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'', Peter and Mary Jane remained best friends throughout [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManDanSlott Dan Slott's run on the title]], albeit with the ship repeatedly being teased and sunk. However, when [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManNickSpencer Nick Spencer took over in 2018]], their lingering feelings for each other proved unignorable and they finally got back together, with recent issues hinting that their marriage may even be restored to continuity in the near future.

* In ComicBook/AmalgamUniverse, [[Franchise/WonderWoman Diana Prince]] and ComicBook/ThePunisher are an [[OutlawCouple Outlaw Ex-Couple]].

* ''Franchise/TheFlash'': ''[[Characters/TheFlashHunterZolomon Hunter Zolomon]]'' and Ashley Zolomon were not this at first, [[DarkAndTroubledPast due to the circumstances]]. Hunter predicted that a suspect wouldn't have a gun, and thus urged his team to make the arrest without waiting for backup. He turned out to be wrong, and the killer shot him in the knee, crippling him, before gunning down his father-in-law; in response, Ashley filed for divorce and he was let go from the FBI. It was clear that Hunter still very much loved her and regretted his mistake, but he sadly accepted that she would likely never forgive him and was trying to move on with his life. Ashley's thoughts on Hunter after the divorce were only told by Hunter's account, but it's clear she was angry and bitter at Hunter for his mistake that cost her father's life. When Ashley learns that Hunter transformed into Zoom, she left the FBI to come to Keystone City to take over his former spot as the local metahuman profiler to help reform him. She makes it clear that she still loves Hunter, regrets leaving him, and swore that she'll help him and never leave him again. It very clear that they have lingering feelings for each other.

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':

* Downplayed by Asmoraius and Misroch from ''Podcast/BrimstoneValleyMall''. They're ex-lovers and are still friends, but argue a whole lot, and still have a lot of BelligerentSexualTension, not helped by the fact that Asmoraius flirts with AnythingThatMoves and has a new boyfriend whom he has sincere feelings for. The two of them can barely be in the same room without sniping at each other, but they obviously still care for each other, and still hang out every day regardless.

* ''Manga/DoctorSlump'': PlayedForLaughs in an episode of the 80s anime. In the episode the Prince Monster had asked his servants to look for a human girl to be his girlfriend, they went to the Penguin Village and found Arale, whom they took to the castle of the Prince Monster, who ended up liking him a lot. But unfortunately Arale did not meet the ideal qualities that he had of a human girl, such as her beautiful song. In the end, he likes her even though Arale destroyed the castle with his N'cha cannon, causing Prince Monster to break up with her, but they seem to be on good terms as he gives Arale his autograph.

* Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue are this in much of ''Fanfic/TheBeastOfGusu'', [[spoiler: though they're not ''exes'' by the end]].

* ''Fanfic/TheBeastOfGusu'' series portrays Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue as this for all of ''Unstoppable'' and most of ''Heavy is the Head''.

* In ''Fanfic/AGameForTheFool'', while the SI and her husband Walter ended up divorcing, they still remained such good friends that his family still considered her one of theirs.
