The Missus and the Ex	comment	Alice and Bob are in a relationship. Carol, who Bob chucked acrimoniously, turns up at a social event that the first two are attending. Either there will be a fight, Bob will get chucked by Alice, or the two ladies will strike up a friendship. If the latter happens, Alice and Carol will usually bond over making fun of Bob. Either way, Bob will be highly uncomfortable. As the title implies, this is usually a guy's missus and ex, but it can go the other way, too. Often given a Perspective Flip where the focus is on the "ex" character, who has the added awkwardness of being single where their partner has found someone new. Another possible variant is if Bob and Carol are Amicable Exes, in which case the focus is likely to be on the "missus" (Alice). Made especially difficult if a Psycho Ex-Girlfriend or The Ex's New Jerkass is involved.

Everyone in the house (especially Martin) was on edge anticipating a horrible blow-up. However, when the ex arrived, Denise was genuinely glad to meet her and the two quickly became friends with no drama at all. It was especially sweet to see Martin's daughter, Olivia, spending time happily with her birth-mom and step-mom together.

The Missus and the Ex / int_22147342	comment	Arrow: A Running Gag with Helena Bertinelli. First, Oliver Queen is dating Helena, but their relationship breaks down when she sees he still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend, Laurel Lance. In "The Huntress Returns", Oliver is dating Detective McKenna Hall, who ends up getting shot by Helena, now the Psycho Ex-Girlfriend and specifically referred to as such. Then in "Birds of Prey", Helena takes Laurel as a hostage and as a result ends up fighting her sister Sara Lance, aka The Canary. On getting a close look at the black leather-clad Action Girl in a Domino Mask, Helena guesses accurately that she's fighting Oliver's latest girlfriend this time too. In "Heir To The Demon", Sara Lance is in the same position when her Psycho Ex-Girlfriend Nyssa al Ghul turns up to force her back to the League of Assassins. Technically Oliver is also her ex but it's played this way; and she and Oliver renew their old relationship at the end of the episode anyway.

Needless to say, the atmosphere gets quite tense quite quickly. Beckett and Meredith end up becoming quite friendly, however. In an earlier episode, before Castle and Beckett hooked up, Castle's New Old Flame Kyra Blaine briefly interacted with Beckett. Toward the end of the episode, she went off to marry her fiancé, bade Castle a heartfelt farewell, smiled at Beckett and said, "He's all yours."

The Missus and the Ex / int_26ef42e7	comment	Kevin & Kell: Martha is initially horrified to learn that she's been asked to be a bridesmaid for Danielle, who's marrying her ex-husband George, and initially says she will never warm up to her. Danielle, however, gets on her good side by making the dress the same as one she already owns, and the two become, in Fiona's words "unlikely friends". Dorothy starts dating Douglas, also known as D.B. Cooper. When he's found out and jailed for the crimes they can prosecute for (many had passed the statute of limitations) his jail cell roommate is none other than Dorothy's criminal ex-husband, Bentley, who strikes up a friendship with Douglas. It's later revealed that Bentley arranged for that to happen so he can make sure Douglas is good enough for Dorothy. Their son Kevin is actually surprised. Dorothy's Vitriolic Best Bud Elanor having an online friendship with Bentley, irritates Dorothy to no end. On the flip side, when Bentley learns they talk about him, he decides he's better off in prison.

Sheriff Carter enters the diner and sees (or rather the audience sees) Allison Blake (the missus), Tess Fontana (the ex and the missus' best friend), and Nathan Stark (the missus' ex-husband, and bane of Carter's existence) all sitting at a table waiting for him. Amazingly, he doesn't instantly run. In a subversion however, only Carter and Allison are real. Allison can see Tess, and Carter can see Stark, but neither of them can see both.

None of them get along well. Bill and Simon tend to get into fights, including nearly getting into a fist fight on one occasion, and Simon tells Andy he doesn't know what Carol sees in him. Carrie doesn't directly interact much with Carol, while Carol often mocks her for being a hippie, criticizes her home and lifestyle, and even calls her a "dirty slut" (it's strongly implied that Simon cheated on Carol with Carrie, though she might also have cheated on him with Bill).

It doesn't help that the ex-partner is evil, and in cahoots with Mulder and Scully's arch-nemesis. Mulder ditches Scully several times for Fowley, and ignores all evidence pointing to the fact that she's evil. Seeing Scully's claws come out, though, made it all worth it.

After the dust settles, Dane (Sersi's current boyfriend) is quick to realize that Ikaris is her ex. Done platonically (and hilariously) in the Captain America films, with Sam Wilson (the Falcon) as the Missus, and Bucky Barnes (the Winter Soldier) as the ex. Thor: Love and Thunder gives a hilarious twist in that the missus is Stormbreaker, a massive battle axe, and the ex is Mjölnir, a warhammer. Stormbreaker is clearly jealous that Thor is trying to get Mjölnir back and even throws tamtrums, forcing Thor to try and comfort his weapon as if it were a jealous lover. In fact, it's implied that the reason Thor can't stop the Bifrost in the climax is because Stormbreaker is refusing to cooperate out of spite.

His wife, though stated she wouldn't be against fighting with Leela if they had enough time to do so, simply insults her, remembering how Sean had told her that Leela was crazy and he dumped her. Turns out their "vacation spot" was actually a zoo in a planet inhabited by sentient apes and it's revealed later that this altercation was the whole reason Leela had been invited there as she and Sean had been there when they were together. When Sean arrived with a different woman, they decided to invite Leela back, knowing that she was also in a relationship with someone else, and have the results on display in order to make the exhibit more popular. It worked extremely well to the point where they even sold wigs of Fry's hair.

The Missus and the Ex / int_b4996199	comment	In Spider-Man there are several occasions, usually involving Mary Jane: During the "Drug issues", Mary Jane very harshly dumped Harry Osborn, which hastened his descent into drug addiction. Although she later became Peter Parker's girlfriend (and later wife), she did reconcile with Harry and she and Peter became the godparents of Harry's son Normie. Mary Jane always got along well with Peter's ex-girlfriend, Betty Brant, and former crush, Liz Allan (later Liz Osborn). Peter also eventually became friends with Betty's fiancé Ned Leeds (though not too close) and he and MJ served as Best Man and Maid of Honor at the Brant-Leeds wedding. Betty Brant Leeds had an affair with Pete shortly after Mary Jane rejected his first wedding proposal, but on MJ's return to New York (ASM #242), Betty set up a date between MJ and Peter in order to bring the two back together. (Another matchmaker for Peter and MJ at the time was Liz). Flash Thompson, the Best Man at the Watson-Parker wedding, had in the past dated Mary Jane. As Mary Jane was re-established as Peter's love interest after his painful break-up with the Black Cat, relations between MJ and Felicia Hardy were very prickly and competitive, especially during the run-up to the Watson-Parker wedding. However, the two eventually became friends during The Clone Saga after MJ asked the Black Cat for help because she had nobody else to turn to. However, things did not always run smoothly because on some occasions, MJ suspected, not without justification, that Felicia still wanted Peter. After MJ and Peter broke up, she got on very well with Carlie Cooper. When Carlie learnt Pete's secret identity, they settled down to a chat about it, leading Peter - who was nowhere nearby - to suddenly realise his "Peter Parker sense" was tingling.

The Missus and the Ex / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who sometimes has this dynamic with current and previous companions. Neither one is anything close to a love interest, but a couple of deleted scenes from "Battlefield" provide an example of the companion not warming up to an older one right away: The Brigadier manages to offend Ace by referring to her as "the latest one", and a line about how looking after the Professor is her job reveals that she may feel a bit threatened. By the end of the serial the Brig has managed to prove that he can be trusted to take care of the Doctor and the two bond over a nice big explosion. In the Brig's case, at least, it's less "mutual hostility" on his part and more "old-fashioned stuffy social awkwardness": "School Reunion" has the trope-naming instance: Rose and Sarah Jane. They have a funny argument, but quickly become friends. As the quote also shows, Mickey is delighted to see it; mainly because Rose was his girlfriend before she unceremoniously ditched him for the Doctor. "The Sontaran Stratagem": Donna and Martha meet. The Doctor worries there will be a repeat of the events of "School Reunion", but since Donna has no romantic attachment to the Doctor and Martha got over hers, the two become pretty friendly and pick at the Doctor a bit, who ends up wishing they would fight. Amy Pond has a similar conversation with River Song in the fifth season, even though it is not entirely clear just what kind of relationship River and the Doctor have (or will have, or have had). And it's pretty clear that Amy isn't in it for the "long-term" like Rose or Martha might have been. Given that Amy's marriage is a long time ago tomorrow morning, it's understandable. Turned out that River was Amy's daughter, and she knew it, so in retrospect, the subtext is subverted. Another occasion where "missus and the ex" is invoked in almost those terms is "The Name of the Doctor" in which the Doctor's current companion, Clara Oswald (who has entered into an unconventional subtle romance with the Doctor) encounters the Doctor's wife, River Song — who is actually dead, but whose consciousness has been retained inside a supercomputer (long story). The Doctor, when asked by Clara if River is his "ex", replies in the affirmative. Other than an awkward moment in which Clara, who has never heard of River before, indicates she thought River was a man, the two get along fine, and River is directly responsible for keeping Clara alive at the climax of the episode.

Although not (explicitly identified as) girlfriends, Erin and Abby were friends and research partners until Erin "dumped" Abby to develop her own career, which led to initial awkwardness when Erin later re-entered Abby's life only to discover that she'd found a new, younger, cooler partner in Holtzmann, who she even seemed to get on better with. Played with in that, outside of the initial bad feelings, Erin and Abby rather quickly manage to rekindle their old friendship and, outside of some initial protectiveness and teasing, Holtzmann never seems that hostile to Erin and actually seems much fonder of flirting incessantly with her.

When he finally gets wise, he freaks out and kinda tries to eat Tara. It's a thing. It pops up in Willow's dream in "Restless", where Willow is clearly freaked out by Tara and Oz whispering together and giggling at her. In "The Yoko Factor", Riley and Angel meet and come to blows. It really ends up like a dick-waving competition. The situation is reversed in "As You Were", when Riley unexpetedly returns with his new wife Samantha. Even though Buffy is utterly jealous of Sam, she admits that she can't bring herself to hate her because she's nice and sweet. Buffy and Riley depart in better terms at the end.

YoSafBridge is currently married to Monty when the pair of them encounter Monty's war buddy Malcolm Reynolds, whom she had previously married. Like most The Missus and the Ex scenarios, this doesn't work out well for her, however in this case it's because her marriage to Mal was part of a scam and all logic suggests she's pulling some sort of con on Monty as well. She's clever enough to realize immediately that her feminine wiles, however considerable, will also be entirely useless against the "War Buddy" brand of loyalty that Mal and Monty have towards each other, and immediately resorts to pulling a gun.

The Missus and the Ex / int_f6c05e8e	comment	Friends: Ross's girlfriend Emily becomes friends with his ex-wife's wife Susan. He assumes that the interest is sexual because it's what happened last time, and is horrified. Emily and Ross broke up because she wanted him to stop seeing Rachel even as a friend. A running gag is that Chandler's obnoxious Janice keeps showing up, even once Chandler happily dates Monica. After Rachel dumped Barry at the altar, he got engaged to Mindy, who was Rachel's best friend. Barry then got back together with Rachel behind Mindy's back, and when they compared notes Rachel learned that Barry's relationship with Mindy went back to during their engagement. They end up both dumping him at once for being a horrible human being, but Mindy goes back on it.

The Missus and the Ex / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: This becomes an issue at the end of the third season when Captain Sheridan's wife (who everyone thought was dead) shows up at his quarters while he's spending the night with Delenn. As it turns out, Anna was changed by the Shadows, and Sheridan knew it, and both of them were dead by the end of the season. Sheridan would get better in the next season, but Anna was gone for good. And in the fifth season, Delenn is unhappy to learn that Sheridan has arranged for his first wife, Elizabeth Lochley, to assume command of the stationnote Garibaldi openly muses about just how many wives Sheridan has had.. Delenn and Lochley have no problem working with each other, but Delenn is upset because Sheridan didn't tell her about the prior relationship.

The Missus and the Ex / int_f929518c	comment	Succession: "Honeymoon States": Marcia may have been estranged from her husband Logan, but she is quick to humiliate his current mistress Kerry at Logan's funeral. "Tailgate Party": Tom's fragile headspace by the end of the night is partially due to his wife Shiv insinuating he'll soon be fired from his high position to Nate (her ex) and Lukas (whom she has palpable tension with).

The Missus and the Ex / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Galaxy's Child", Geordi has a truly unique case as both the Missus and the Ex are the same person; one is the holographic counterpart of Dr. Leah Brahms from the earlier episode "Booby Trap", the other is the actual Leah. Things get very tense when the real Leah finds the holographic Leah repeating the earlier episode's closing lines "Every time you look at this engine, you're looking at me. Every time you touch it, it's me.", and accuses Geordi of being a Stalker with a Crush. Gender Flipped in "Second Chances" between Troi and the two Will Rikers. Similar to "Galaxy's Child", both the Mister and the Ex are technically the same person; one is the Riker we've come to know over 6 seasons on TNG and had given up on his relationship with Troi to further his career. The other is the Riker who was created by a transporter glitch, stranded on Nervala VI for 8 years and still has strong feelings for Troi.
