My husband knows that I text & receive the "occasional" joke or funny pic from some of the fools I've dated.. But there's not much more than that ever said about the matter. He trusts me, & I've done nothing to make him ever lose that trust in me.
no his exes r trashy n idk how he feels about my exes
We are both ok with it as long as those ex's intentions don't veer into the romantic or sexual.
It is not okay to be friends with someone you have slept with if you want your relationship to work
It honestly makes me uncomfortable, so I guess I don't believe that it's okay to be friends with exes, but who am I to take away her freedom to do so. I guess as long as she puts herself in my shoes to know the boundaries of their friendship, and as long as she's coming home to me then I guess it's fine.
He doesn't like it. I don't think I would be comfortable with him being friends with one of his exes.
I was friends with a few of my exes, however, my most recent ex thought it wasn't right and I was forced to end those friendships. I think it really depends on your individual situation, how long you knew the person before you began the relationship, why the relationship ended and who ended it.
I feel that it is as long as everyone's being respectful!
No. There is no reason to be.. unless you have a child with them.
Of course it is fine! But I have to know her and she has to be okay with the occasional dirty look and he has to understand that I must always look my best in her presence and ... Everything after the 'but' is flotsam and jetsam.
He feels a bit uncomfortable
It can be. I am still friendly with some of my exes although I'm not close to any of them.
Its ok to an extent. There needs to be a mutual respect for your current relationship from both you, your partner and your ex.
No I don't think it's ok. You once had feelings for this person they could come back. The past is the past. You should be moving on x
I'm gonna "bite my tongue to keep the peace" in our marriage.
