I have been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years and I would never betray him, plus my ex is now engaged!

no, it's not wrong for your current boyfriend to be jealous. put yourself in his shoes. how would you feel?
ask yourself what's more important. Your friendship with your ex, or your relationship with your boyfriend. In a lot of cases, you can't have both.
choose wisely.

Yes. I have been with my current boyfriend for 4 years, and am still friends with my ex who I was with for 5 years.
You can be friends with an ex if:
1. The person you're currently with accepts it
2. There is no physical/sexual attraction between you and your ex and no ideas/hopes of either one of you getting back together.
3. It's been awhile and you've both moved on.
Jealousy will be there from the beginning, but once your current person sees that your ex isn't a threat the jealousy will go away. Also another good thing would be is for everyone to hang out together and get to know each other. My ex and my current actually became friends.
The only thing that sucks is if your current has a problem with you and mentions it to your ex, sometimes your ex takes their side and agrees with them.

It's ok to be friends with an ex as long as you've given it enough time.
It is OK for current b/f's to be jealous because you share a lot more w/ an ex then you do. Make sure that your ex and current b/f meet and if he's still uncomfortable then maybe make an agreement to let him know when you hang out w/ him and when you talk to him so he's comfortable w/ it.

It is not wrong to be friends with an ex. Current boyfriends will ALWAYS feel threatened. It is only because they fear that ex's have realized what they lost. I think you should try to comfort your current boyfriend by at least keeping contact with your ex to a minimum.

of course it's okay to have a frindly relationship with your ex.it's not like if there's anything going ono between you and everything that happened between yo guys is in the past.as for you r current boyfriend,i don't blame him for being jealous cuz he knows that there was something between you two and he's afraid that it'll spark up again.that's mostly what he's worried about and as long as he doesn't take it too far it's just fine.

its not wrong to be friends with your EX bf... I've been friends with 2 of my EX bf. There's nothing wrong with that just make sure that you keep your boundaries. You can be friends with them but no too close especially that you have a new bf. It's natural for him to be jealous with your ex because you had a past with him. If you'll set your boundaries with your ex and still being a friend to him there's nothing wrong. and explain that too to your bf so he'll understand. ^_^ I hope it helped you...

Jealousy is a symptom of insecurity. Insecurity that they will lose you.
This is something that your bf needs to deal with, though couples counseling is a great way to deal with it.
Jealousy over being friends with someone isn't normal or correct, IMO. An impartial arbiter is better than someone on Yahoo, though.

LOVE YOUR CURRENT BOYFRIEND ? WELL THEN GET A GRIP ON YOURSELF AND FORGET THE EX . WOULD YOU MIND IF YOUR BOYFRIEND KEPT IN TOUCH WITH HIS EX? SORRY , BUT I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT , FOR THE LIFE OF ME; WHAT IS THE RATIONAL BEHIND WALKING UP THAT PATH.

no, it makes everyone uncomfortable so show some respect for your boyfriend and just stay away from him.
