Well, you're comfortable with you and your ex's relationship, right? And you don't have feelings for each other? So, it shouldn't bother your boyfriend. It's just a friendship, even if it is with an old boyfriend. And if your new boyfriend can't accept this, it's his problem. Just because you broke up with someone doesn't mean you have to be enemies for life. Your boyfriend should respect your relationship and be able to live with it.

Its not a good idea. It can raise questions later about goings on. It can plant a seed of doubt in the new guys heart about how you feel for him. If it is over with you and the ex let him go there is obviously something that caused it not to work so let go, don't keep him around it could lead to the same mistake over and over
Good Luck
Have a GREAT day!

depends on the guy - some guys will just get jealous, it doesnt matter what you do. In which case you will prob need to tone down your relationship with your ex for a while if you want to stay wit your bf. However, if youre lucky your new guy will be rational and understand that youre jsut friends now! You have 2 options, u can either talk to your new guy about how he feels about it, or u can neglect to mention to your new guy that your friend used ot be your bf.

Nothing wrong with that. I have a good friend. We were "unofficial" but I would NEVER want to be without him as a friend. Since we were "us," he's been engaged and I got a boyfriend I completely love with my whole heart. My friend and I still talk. He emailed me the other day begging me to call him because he lost my number. If you get a guy that's jealous of that, he needs to get over it--he'll learn you two are only friends.

My ex chose to remain close to me mainly to help give her strength during trying times. Whenever she meets a new prospect, she is straight forward that the two of us remain friends. Since me, she has not had a real relationship with anyone. I too am straight forward about our friendship and I have yet to meet a lady who wasnt comfortable with it. My conclusion is that women more than men would accept this type of relationship.

it is not bad to have a strong friendship with yr ex it shows that u r able to move on n 4give but what I'd advise u to do is tell yr current boyfriend just to make him feel secure that u want him not yr ex.

it probably will, and eventually you'll have to decide if this friendship with your ex is worth your loosing the new boyfriend.

You can be friends with your ex,but know your limits,and tell your bf,introduce him, and make it clear your intentions. It will most likely make your bf jealous.
