yes if exes arent trying to be assholes...
It depends.. but in general, no. They might still like each other and
their 'feelings' might relapse, specially during stressed times.

Never a good idea for me. She thinks it's fine as do most women I've met.
It is ok sometimes. She thinks it is ok sometimes as well.
This all sounds like a cop-out to me.
I don't feel comfortable about it. I think he's ok with it as he is still friends with his....
I'm friends with a bunch of exes and it was definitely a source of tension in our relationship for a while, but I think eventually she got used to it and realized they were all pretty nice people who I truly had no romantic interest in anymore.
I feel as if it is okay to be friends with your exes as long as they know that is exactly what you want with them , friendship and nothing more.
I don't do it, I don't want any issues. If there was respect I am fine with it. She insist on it, As long as there is respect.
What issues will there be? We are all adults.

As long as I am put first, I cannot really complain. It would become a problem if I began to feel like someone is being placed before me.
They are exes for a reason...
