Ask your friends

Yeah.. It's his choice, sure at first I'd be a bit jealous but I can't control him. I'm not entirely sure I don't think he'd want me to be friends with my exes and I'm not really friends with any of them anyways
It is ok. But that friendship should not ever infringe on your relationship and it should be transparent to your partner. IE he/she can read your messages or hear your conversations.
it really depends on the specific case- the type of relationship, the type of breakup. but there's a reason why you aren't with them anymore, and you can't sweep that under the rug.
No. He probably does think that it's okay but I'd let him be best buddies with that bitch cause I'm ten times better than she is. plus she's dumb and oh yea and I trust him.
Also okay - I can see wanting that depending on the person, the relationship
and the distance from the break up. I kept at least three exes friends for
years, but time has passed, we are no longer close, and that's fine. There
are other relationships I would work to develop before those.

Depends on the person and how the relationship ends
It's okay, I guess, but why on earth would you want that?
It is NOT ok. Ty.
He's not against it.

I'm a bit of a hypocrite on this one. There's no way I want my husband to be friends (or even stay in touch, with his exes, but It's ok for me to be facebook friends with mine..
Depends on the terms of the break-up and how you are with one another. Friends are friends.
im not with my ex. and i dont think he is with his, but i wouldnt be surprised if he was
Depends on the history and what terms you broke up on. I think if you realize you were better friends than in a relationship, then it's fine. But lets face it, once an emotional love is established, it's really hard to just be "friends" with someone.
Yes. I'd don't think she is really friends with the guys that pursued her.
i don't really like it, it feels as if they had something that i can never have with him and that makes me kind of jealous... i also think talking to each other can open gateways to those old feelings.
No, not unless there is a reason, like kids and even then it should be friendly as far as making parental decisions and thats it.
