We are both FB friends with a few exs, but don't talk.
I have one ex whom I remained good friends with. We still hang out, etc. He was even at our wedding. He and DH have become friends as well.

I guess I should answer my own question, lol.
I only have one ex, but we were living together when DH & I met. We have a ton of mutal friends, so a couple times we've run into each other, I've always been with DH and the two of them have spoken more than the ex & I. I'm still close to my ex's sisters and DH is friendly with them as well. I don't have anything to say to my ex, so we don't talk and DH likes to throw things about the ex in my face during arguments, so it's best for everyone that I don't.
DH has a few exes, one of whom believes I stole him from her & when he & I got together she claimed the baby she was carrying could have been his, wasn't (I guess she was too busy spreading her legs to learn basic math), they hadn't spoken in a while but he drunk texted her the day I told him I was pregnant (obviously that was a crappy day for me on sooo many levels) and that pissed me off, so I deleted her # from his phone. One ex I have no issue with them talking, she is also married, but they just choose not to. And one I strongly dislike and have voiced my discomfort with their continued communication- but that doesn't seem to matter to DH. I did tell him when they talk it makes me feel sad and distant from him & therefore not want to talk to him. By distant I meant, I'm on my way to the couch, and by not wanting to speak, I meant, you'll be getting the silent treatment until you unfriend that ho. It worked.

I have to stay in touch with my ex husband, cause he's DS's dad, and he has visitation every other weekend. However, we do not do small talk and it's strictly DS business, because he's an arrogant SOB and I can't stand him for more than a few minutes.
I don't know any of DH's exes, and I don't want to...he doesn't talk to any of them, and I don't talk to any ex boyfriends.

I don't talk to any of my exes. When we first started dating my DH got a text from his high school ex who he seemed very fond of (my green eyed monster was raging) and I blurted out, make sure you tell her you're hanging out with your girlfriend. I felt super lame, but whatevs.

Yes, a couple of them. One was my HS sweetheart. He ended up marrying a friend of mine from HS, we went to their wedding, they came to ours, we meet up for dinner or drinks when we're in the same city. I'm better friends with his wife then him, and DH likes them both. He's good friends with another guy I casually dated (well not really dated, he was more of a bed-partner when I was drunk). He has a long-term, serious GF who we love, and the four of us get together as often as we can.
There's only one guy I'm still a little bit in contact with that DH hates. Loathes. They met once (and the latter guy above was there too...) Ex tried to shake DH's hand (he wasn't DH at the time, we were actually about half-way through a 6 month split), and DH just looked at him and then walked away without a word. (DH and I used to work together, Ex was visiting the city and stopped in to say goodbye to me, DH heard I had a male visitor and wanted to scope it out.)
That guy hurt me a lot, and that's a big part of it. I think they'd actually get along well if we didn't have that history. He randomly texts me about once a year, usually when he has gossip about a mutual friend or something (last time it was because he served my doppelganger at his bar).
DH only had one serious Ex before me, I haven't met her and they don't talk, although she's friends with my BIL. She emailed him not too long before DH proposed to me, and he wrote back a gushing email about how wonderful I am, and she never wrote again. He's also still friends with someone he thought he was in love with several years ago, but never acted on it (always bad timing). I'm friends with her too, mostly on FB, but she has a little girl a few months older than DS and they stayed over with us several months ago. Her and I have already arranged a marriage between E and her DD

Only fb friends, but we rarely talk, like the most contact I've had w the bf I was dating before dh was him commenting on a pic that my puppy was cute, so very innocent! Neither dh nor I were in very serious relationships before we met so we only have cordial relationships w them now, like I'd say hi if I bumped into one of the street and exchange pleasantries, but not go out of my way to keep in touch

DH and I are not friends with any of our exes... on FB or otherwise either.

@yoursilverlining "Just because a relationship didn't work out doesn't mean something is automatically a bad person or has to be banished from your life. I dated a lot of great guys; just not great for me!"
I love that you said this and well said.
I definitely think this too... except I do banish exes from my life, not because I think they are a bad person, but for my own sanity.
For me, I just need to move on and get away from them but that's just me and I know a lot of good friends that are still friends with their exes.

I have one "real" ex, and one ex "FWB" (both from when I was still at high school.) I'm still friends with real exes family (5 sisters, 1 brother and his mother) but I was also friends with most of his sisters before he and I started dating. His younger sister had her baby the same day I had mine so we still keep in touch fairly often. i'm not friends with him on facebook, even though i'm 99% sure he doesn't use his page at all.
I was friends with ex-FWB on facebook while DH and I were dating, but only to keep tabs on him as he was trying to hook up with both of my sisters ...at the same time. see why he was only a hook up buddy?? lol.
DH has no real exes, he's friends with people he's had previous crushes on etc., but i'm fine with that.
