Getting along with your ex's new partner

My husband (we are seperated not divorced) has been with his girlfriend for 2 years in August.He is my best friend and always will be.I have to agree that the best thing for me and her has been absolutely having nothing to do with each other.I have never met her nor do I have any desire to do so.I trust my husbands judgement as far as her being around my kids and I know that when it comes to them they are safe.For me and her,the less we know about each other the better off we are.Yes,she has issues with me,because me and him aren't friends just for the kids.That we talk all the time about everything and that he comes over to the house and sees me regardless when the kids are here or not.My boyfriend now has issues with him,but like I told him he is a part of who I am and he is my best friend.He will have to accept him.They can actually sit down and carry on a conversation civilly,even though neither of them are comfortable with it.But that is them.Unlike my husband I WILL NOT put myself in the situation to see them together.
