Wow you are asking a much debated question. My opinion is that two previous lovers can not just be friends. If there were feelings before then there will always be a slight tension between the two of you, whether it's for your side, his side or both. It also depends on the type of relationship you had, how old you are etc... But i find it disturbing to have the person you are dating hanging out with their ex. They are an ex for a reason and it should stay that way unless you are trying to get back with him. I can see your point where you just see him as a friend but you also have to see that the person you are dating will have insecurities about the two of you hanging out. It's natural to feel that way because he cares about you and sees your ex as a threat to the relationship. Put yourself in the situation, would you be cool with him hanging out with an ex and not knowing what they are really doing? It creates unnecessary insecurities that will create fights and affect your relationship. It's all about putting yourself in the other person's shoes and communicating. Good Luck

do you include him? if your going out with many people and your ex is in the group,so should the new BF. if it's one on one, then the BF has every right to get upset. if the BF does not like ANY of your friends, then what exactly are you together for? you have to have something in common.

I think you should be free to hang out with whoever you chose to as long as you respect your boyfriend and keep the relationship between your ex and you as just friends. My ex is actually one of my best Friends and I have a boyfriend as well.

nope..you and your ex are friends,.you still have a right to be together. If your bf can't understand that then maybe he has deeper reasons not to. You have to ask him and then weigh your decisions..

Why shouldn't he be upset ? Who do you care more about, your b/f or your ex? Get your priorities into order.

No kidding? Maybe it's because it's very disrespectful of you.
