	No. Not true. I don't quite agree with Sonntag's definition of
"free", but I can assure you it's possible to "hang out" with your ex-SO
(ex-wife, in my case) and her SO without jealousy, pain or dispair,
because I do it frequently, and have for the past 6 years. Frankly, it
was pretty easy even before I got over her; what was hard was being alone
with her, but now even that's easy.
