Fuck no. If you're in a relationship with somebody don't bring the fucked up energy you had from the past into your current one because the results will end up being the same. In fact, I don't think you should be friends with anyone that you've even fucked in the past if you're going to be in a relationship with someone else. Do you really think it's fair to the person you're with now to have to be around or know you're talking to someone who at one point in time had a piece of you?
To a certain extent, yes. Gota know the boundaries thats all :)
My partner and I have different opinions on that.
I personally do not feel comfortable being friends with exes as much as we would all like to keep that friendship after the fact. You dont want to cause any problems with your current bf/gf or give the wrong impression of feelings still being there. My hubby does not agree with being friends with your ex at all... glad we r on the same page :)
No I don't.
I think she's ok with it.

I think it's a very fine line to be played with. You have shared yourself so intimately with an ex, and I'm not sure I believe you can cut off thoughts/feelings about said ex if you continue a friendship. That said - I think telling your partner they can or can't do something directly is a recipe for separation. You have to trust them to make the right call, and to be honest with you - and you have to accept their decision.
Under NO Circumstance do I belive its okay to be friends with an EX. They are EX's for a reason and should always remain that way, unless you have children together and then there should be mutual respect for each other and new partners. I would hope that my Husband feels the same way.
Not really, but I guess it depends on the circumstance. It usually just tears the relationship apart.
Thats a strange answer because I'm not really friends with any of my exes but you are.

Like I said, depends on the circumstance. But in general I don't think it's a very good idea.

Hell no!!! They are an ex for a reason! "X" them out of your life completely!!!
Yes I do but he doesn't like that I am
It's ok to be friends with your exes as long as the relationship is explained to your spouse & they're comfortable with it. If I choose to be friends with an ex, my husband needs to be friends with them too or else it won't happen. My 1st priority is my husband. He is ok with my relationship because I don't hide anything and I am overly respectful. An ex means nothing to me in comparison to my husband ... period!
Lol
I don't, too awkward and they will still have feelings for you.
I think it is. As long as there's trust in the relationship.
No and yes depends on your relationship
