my girlfriend is still friends with her ex. he always texts her and calls her. honestly, it ticks me off but i dont want to be the jealous boyfriend so i dont say anything. so my question is can you still be friends with your ex with no romantic feelings lingering? or should i be concerned?

Nope, and im talking from personal experience! I tried being friends with my x, but i learned that if u never fully let the person go you never get over them. Its easier to just cut them loose... if your gf really loves you she should understand your concerns with the xbf! IF not then move on!! Why would you want to date someone who cant let go of an x!!

I think that remaining friends with an EX with no romantic intention is always possible. I am currently going through a divorce and my ex and I remain close, talking nearly everyday, but we both know that it is over. When people marry or date, there is always going to be a connection there. It takes mature strong people to remain friends although it is hard for the future Mr or Mrs to understand this and I know it is a little frustrating for you. I would try to learn to accept this for what it is at the moment and not read into it too much. Did they just break up? If so, perhaps as time wanes on the conversations will decrease. If they have been over for quite some time, allow them their space but keep tabs on the situation. If you feel something more is happening with them, address your concerns with your partner. Keep the lines of communication open and don't harbor these feelings within yourself as it will only make the situation worse.

Of course you can, but there has be a limit on the texting and phone calls once you have new person in your life. I am friends with all my x's and I only call then when there is a birthday coming up or Chritsmas etc... and for any other minimal reason maybe once a month to find out about there lives. But I would be upset if an x calls my boyfriend on a daily basis.

Forget her for a minute.
Do you want to be in a relationship with a woman where this is even a question? Have some respect for yourself, find a woman that does not have this need to hang onto past relationships. Most women I have known that do this in the end cheat with the ex or the male friend. Believe me, you don't need to find yourself screwed up over this. Move on.

Well what i say is hell no because say the ex still likes her well then he might end up just trying to take her away form you because he might convince her that she stills likes him and it wasn't meant to be broken up between him and her. Then shell break it off between you and her. But there's one problem if she really loves you then she might not break up with you i should from experience though see i have went through that a lot in my life so maybe you should sit down and talk to her and let her know how you feel about it and then she might just stop talking to him as much.

yeah you can be friends with someone you have dated...i have been friends with my past relationships and there were no feelings left....as long as you know nothing is going on i am sure you are just being a little paranoid....and if it bothers you too much then confront her. if she really likes you she will calm down with the talking of her ex and put her attention on you if she doesn't then i would consider that mabye those two aren't ready to give up on each-other in that case move on...good luck : )

question is....what kind of ex is he....did they date for years and were madly in love with each other, or was it one of those couple of weeks couple of months kind of relationships? If it was a shorty relationship where they just were like...umm...no...this isn't working, then you should be cool, but if it was one of those long deep relationships then no. I'm sorry but you cannot be just "friends" with someone that you have been through so much feelings and agonies with. It just doesn't happen, well not without those compressed feelings.

Don't be concerned!
i am very good friends with two of my exes and my current boyfriend of a year, even comes to the pub with me and one of my exes. there's no need to be jealous, many girls are still mates with their exes.....
I have no feelings what so ever for them either......

yeah we still can be friends with an ex, there's nothing wrong with that but you probably do need to be worried because some people are friends with their ex and they are still sexually involved even though the relationship is over.

you can still be friends with your ex without romantic feelings- but you should ask her if they still like each other, but after she gives you an answer, talk no more about it
