My name's Robert, and I've been divorced for several years now. My ex and I get along much better now than we ever did while living together.
We've both moved on in our romantic lives, but we remain great friends. She's due to have her first child soon, and I've been asked to be the child's godparent. There is no weirdness between her new husband and I. In fact, we get along quite well. She goes shopping with my current girlfriend. Everything works.
It's not like this happened overnight; it took work on both our parts. But it is possible. I personally think it worked out because even though we both have very different living styles (there's a reason we got divorced), we both have great respect for one another's abilities and accomplishments, and we never lost that, even at our worst.

Just wanted to chime in. :)
