You've got a good taste in ex's Jenna, they both sound supernice men.
The woman who is now my second wife took my children and I in when we turned up, virtually penniless, on her doorstep in London, as I'd given my ex wife every penny, every item of furniture, the house, practically the shirt off my back in exchange for full custody of my children ( she didn't want them, she just wanted to screw everything out of me).
I had not seen her for years, she didn't even flinch at the idea, just welcomed us with open arms, sent out for pizzas and told us this was our home for as long as we needed it.
As we said in another thread jenna, it's the deeper things that matter :)
