I think it is wonderful that in today's world of mistrust, affairs and divorces that there are actually still people out there that trust their mates completely. Why not stay friends with your ex? I think it is a good idea.

Well, I'm not married but I am in a serious relationship and I honestly hope I can grow old with this guy. We both trust each other completely, and I am still friends with almost all of my exes. I still hang out with them from time to time, and my current bf has even met them at one point or another. He doesn't speak to any of his exes because he does not get along with them... but I wouldn't have a problem with it if he was still friends with them. So I'd say being friends with exes is normal, and actually shows that you both have a great deal of trust in each other which is great. That's hard to find. =)

Lots of people are friends with their exes. In a survey, at least 39% of married individuals have maintained friendships with an ex or 2.

Yes. All of my ex's are actually my best friends who have supported me and been there for me. Nothing wrong with having ex's as your friend...besides the fact your bf/ gf might get annoyed. But you have the right to choose whose your friends or not.

I disagree. I would tend to think...that I would not be enough for my spouse if he were to stay friends their exes...so of course that is cheating...because you are giving to someone else what you should be giving your spouse...especially if they went to lunch! I go see my husband at lunch at his work when I can...we only have 1 car...I don't hook up w/ my exes while he is at work...so, that is what spouses should do...see each other at lunch when they can...not have lunch w/ exes...sigh =(...forsaking all others is the vow...I take it seriously...I also iggy any of them that try to contact my via messenger online, as well...as marraige should be taken...good luck to you in life!

It's good to trust one another. You really don't know how the other people that you two see feel. However I think it open up more doors in your marriage.
