Friendly, yes. Friends.. Men & Women cannot be friends. Sex always gets in the way.
Yes I would be but there's a limit and she has let me know that and I realize it now
No, especially if you're married. Cordial, yes, but friendship? Not so much.
No I do not, she feels the same
Nope - too complicated - past is past what's important is now - never give your past the opportunity to mess up the present

I think its ok to be acquaintances with ur exs...but not like, all of them. For example, a facebook comment here or there is ok, but i think hanging out w them all of the time is inappropriate. Unless maybe the relationship was from when u were kids, or a very long time ago, and ur partner has met and hung out w them and is totally ok w it, then i guess. But only on rare occasions would this be ok. Personally, id be uncomfortable w it. I think hed feel the same.
Not our exes they are wacks!!!!
Yeah. I'm personally not. But sometimes it does end on good terms and they both walked away friends versus lovers. Now there is no reason to have late night calls and texts and if you are hiding it you are wrong.
I don't really see the point. There's too much history and honestly, in most cases, someone almost always has left over feelings for the other person... Move on and be done with it.
Case specific..,he doesn't like it
Although it depends on the situation, because of her personality it makes things difficult with her exes. Mine, I'm friends with VERY FEW.

It's nice to be friendly and be updated every once in a while on their success but never close enough to be friends.
I don't think it's a good idea. Some of my exes that I still see it hang out with or only because my current boyfriend is friends with them as well. Exes create drama, jealousy and questions.
Nope it's not ok past is past should be deleted
I think it's ok. I'm friends with my ex from high school. I would never text her behind her back or have secret rendezvous, and hopefully she wouldn't either
Yes. Probably fine
