I do not think it's ok and I'm pretty sure he feels the same

I feel that it is fine to unless things ended on a very sour note where it is not even worth it to be friends. I personally am either cordial or even best friends with my exes. But for my boyfriend, he is not friends with any of his exes and I fully understand his reasons for that.

Yes, I am friends with some of my ex's. I think it all depends on the situation.

No

It depends on the reason for their breakup. I would prefer not to though. There is nothing worse than an ex carrying on and on and on about "remember whens". Argh!

I say no. If your still friends its cuz someone is still holding on and if it'd over it's over. Course depending on the relationship there may be exceptions. However you should not be friends with your ex fiancé while in a relationship with someone else.
