do you think it's ok to have a girl friend or boyfriend and still have conversations with a ex lover?

yes, i do. just to check up on them and know what they've been up to lately. but i feel guilty and mad if my partner does the same. it's just unappropriate. not that im being selfish, but it makes me paranoid for some reasons.

I have, many times in the past, talked to my ex wife, even though we are not married any longer we are still friends. I will be talking to her again soon as we both will be traveling to Seattle for a son's wedding. it's nice to be friends with an ex

Yes, i still do, I and my ex's ended up in good way so i found no reason to avoid them, anyway it is just a plain conversation just like the other usual friends. But if there is something behind that conversation i would rather avoid him for the next time.

In my case, two years ago when I first started dating my boyfriend (now fiancee), it was not ok because my ex still had feelings for me and had tried to woo his way back in even though he didn't have a chance after ruining things in our relationship. Even though I had tried to keep a friendship with the ex, my feelings were hurt and almost blew things with my fiancee as he thought I was going to get back with the ex. So long story short, I had cut communications with the ex and haven't seen or talk to him since and I actually feel great emotionally and mentally that I did that. I think it depends on the situation really. If you and the ex had amicably split up and decided to be friends because the magic was truly not there anymore, then it could work and your partner will have to trust that you wouldn't betray them or anything. But if you sense that your ex still holding the torch, then you really must ask yourself that question, is it worth it?

I don't speak to any of my ex'es . I ran into an ex last year and he wanted to know why I wouldn't talk to him because he said that it wasn't like we didn't know each other but the truth is we don't know each other anymore . I have been with my husband for 19 years now and haven't had contact with him in all that time so we are essentially strangers to each other . My husband doesn't have anything to do with any of his ex'es either . They are all from our past from when we were children , we don't associate with many that we went to school and they were all from school as my husband and I got together in high school .
