Nope, it keeps that door wide open to being tempted into cheating and ruining new relationships.
Of its a friendship and the ex does not have feelings yes.. 1 or 2 are okay but not every ex who is obviously not over you and your partner has made clear they ate not comfortable with that person/persons you shod respect your new partner
It really doesn't work out I guess
Makes me uncomfortable but if he really wanted it, I would deal with the feelings. I imagine he wouldn't like it very much.
I don't see anything wrong with it, but he would not like it. Unless it's HIS ex. BTW, Marty passed away. No, I have not had contact with him sadly. I googled his name and found his obituary.
I believe it's okay, and better than not speaking to them or hating them. You cared for them once, and it's hard to stop caring for someone. Partners might feel uncomfortable at first, but if they get used to it, it will be worth the patience.
It's ok if it ends up that way. I don't really go outta my way to do so though. Actually, I think he doesn't like it. No need to be jealous when I've been with you for over a year! :D
Hey! You can if you want! You're my boyfriend so I know you're with me! Just would not like it if you hung around them all by yourself... :P

NO!! i don't hate my exes but i believe once the relationship ends, that's it. my partner however.... disagrees to say the least. but that's ok because those bitches ain't got shit on me.
you cannever have too many friends:) i dont care wha my partner thinks!
No ! Not even if they talk once a month, they broke up something didn't work. Move on and don't speak to them or don't acknowledge them.
You know, we've never discussed it really... I think it's okay in general, but it really comes down to the specific relationship. If you're unable to have a respectful, healthy friendship or if this ex creates an energy that intrudes in other areas of your life, especially your present relationship, then cut ties. But I have maintained a few friendships with a few exes, and they seem to be going well. My fiancé and might even do a double date with them!
No,i dont like my exes,i dont talk to them
No, I don't think so nah nah noooo
I don't know how he feels about it

Doesn't work I guess. I think she feels the same way.
