It's Mother's Day this weekend. My Ex and I parted on good terms. We felt as if we tried to stick it out longer, the resentment/anger towards each other would impact our ability to co-parent in a positive manner.

I have been dating a woman, also divorced, for the last 1.5yr. She and her ex do not get along and TBH, she would be happy if he was dead.

My kids are older, mid-20s so there is no real need for co-parenting per say, but my ex and I try to be as supportive as we can to these two young adults.

Back to the issue: I asked my gf the following: Does she have a problem if I were to send a Mother's Day Gift to my ex? Her response was: "Gut reaction is yes. It doesn’t make me feel good to be honest. I feel that you are still really tied into the “family” unit with your ex-wife."

I didn't know what to respond to her with? I've left it on read for a few hours as I really don't have a good response to her.

Am I wrong for being nice to the mother of my kids?
