We both agree NO!
I think its okay to be friends with exes but its a very slippery slope to deal with. Personally, I'm not friends with my exes as some were one-sided, some were awkward and its just better to cut ties and not complicate things.
Meh, depends. If there's still a flame there, then it's playing with fire. If things have cooled off, then it can be handled.
No, I don't think it's ok. There's history there, and eventually someone crosses the line. The safest bet, and most respectful thing to do for your significant other, is to sever the ties and move on. My boyfriend would not like the idea of me having friendship with my exes, although he does/did think it was acceptable for him to do it. It's better for everyone in the long run not to be friends or have any contact if you can help it.
