His ex wants to live with us.
An ex from my husband's past is getting divorced and needs a place to stay. She doesn't have kids. She lives a few towns away from us and we see her a few times a year at social gatherings. She's asked my husband if she can stay in the apartment over our garage. I don't feel threatened by her although I don't feel particularly friendly either. But I do want to be kind. She's asking us because we have this semi-independent apartment, and it's far enough away from her town that she won't see people she knows all the time, but she can go back there easily. Is it crazy of me to think this could work?

It's damned crazy! If she has a job, she needs to be on her own. If she's got family, she needs to go to them. Don't do that to yourself.
Not only crazy but, wishful thinking that this could work. It sounds like a scary movie of the week.
Hi Popple,
Do some good! Let us stay with you. If you have concerns, share them with your husband. Otherwise, trust him to remain true to you as the two you help someone get to the next step in life. It is very difficult to go from divorced to the next step and it is always good to know you have help. Help her!
Well,it's great that you want to go out of your way to be kind to her,but I feel this is pushing it. She has no business wanting to do this because it is NOT appropriate and I would definitely be suspicious about her motives here. You have to draw the line somewhere,so I say DON'T DO IT! Best of luck and you're in my prayers. Happy New Year! :)
I agree with Jadailha, plus its not rocket science.
Sure if you want to you husband easy access to his ex girlfriend, looking for an excuse to catch him cheating on you, distroy your marrage, or your swingers.
NO!! HELL NO!!
Why you guys? A married couple, and your husband is her former lover? Doesn't that sound odd to you? Does she not have a job, or a method to support herself? What has happened that she can't see her former friends or any other people that she knows? Don't let her anywhere near your husband. She may use her present situation as a method to get involved with your partner. Do not trust her under those circumstances.
Does she not have any other friends or family that she can live with? Why can't she find a roommate, or an apartment of her own?
The whole thing can get really ugly and really fast, Protect your marriage, and keep the former ex-girlfriend of your husband out of it.
