Sigh. It all depends on how the relationship ended, on how both exs feel about each other, and the tolerance of the new boyfriend/girlfriend.
My late husband maintained good, strong, friendships with all three of his ex-wives. One of them even visited him in the hospital the night before he died. I knew he loved me, so I didn't feel threatened, and never raised a voice in protest. He never did anything to betray that trust...and I am getting teary-eyed now. Yes, even widows who have moved on with life, can still get tears...

It's GREAT when you can remain frnds. Most can not do that. You had a mutual attraction, some great times together, got involved in each other's lives. Then something wasn't right. If there was not abuse or big blowup fight, then the best is to keep being frnds.
And people change. You may get back together some day after you have both matured some. And it is REALLY REALLY fun to see them again later in life and meet their spouses and catch up on all the news of your families and friends

I am in a situation where I am having to find the lines to be drawn with an ex who wants to be friends, and I have to say that the best thing to do is just stop talking to him/her completely for at least a month, then go back and see if you can be friends. Otherwise, old feelings get in the way.

In my opinion, no. It usually ends up causing way too much tension in the new relationship, and if you are EXES then why do you need to talk? If you have so much to be friendly about and discuss, then why aren't you still together? EX means just that, EX, as in no more, all done, over, finished, hasta la bye bye, etc.

It would probably depend on how your new girlfriend/boyfriend feels about it. I think it would be OK to ask them how they feel about it and if they have a real problem with it you may have to choose between your ex and your current relationship.

Remaining friends after a break-up is a sign of maturity. Not many people possess this quality, Bravo to the both of you.

I think time and distance paly a huge role in this situation if your ex lives next door and you see him every day there may be a problem and it may leave your new guy/gal wondering exactly where they fit in!!
