Is it ok to hangout with your ex if you are currently in a relationship?

My ex-boyfriend called me last night. He said that he's going to be in town on my birthday. He asked if maybe we can hangout and give him a tour of the City. So far, my boyfriend hasn't shown any hint of jealousy yet. Is it ok if I'll spend my b-day with my ex and a few of our common friends?

Why not? If your boyfriend hasn't shown any feeling of jealousy means that he is confident enough that nothing would be scared of and he trusts you. Now, the question is about you? Would you be comfortable with the idea? Do you still have feelings towards your ex boyfriend? Are you ready to see him? Those are just few of the questions that you have to consider and think of. If you do not put malice on your ex' offer, then nothing is wrong with hanging out with him. Well, be sure that on your birthday, you have to spend it first with your bf and not your ex. Your ex should adjust more of the situation.

It depends on how you would feel about it. If your current boyfriend had an exgirlfriend coming into town and wanted to spend his birthday with her and some other mutual friends, how would you feel about it? If you are both comfortable with the situation, you should be fine. I, on the other hand, can get jealous and POed very easily.. lol. So this would never happen with me. But it really is up to you and him .

Well many ppl in relationships wouldnt care for that but I personally have no issues with it PROVIDED I have no reason to worry that lines wont be crossed...some exs get too touchy feely and flirty and if after I've given them a warning if they continue then ya I'd have issues but otherwise it wouldnt phase me....I am friends with pretty much most of my ex's and hang out with them when given the chance..

It's okay to hang-out with an ex especially if you really have been friends with him since the break-up..It's a nice feeling being around with someone you have gotten to know a few years back..catching up with each others' life and happenings.. and since you see that your bf has no issues about it then you go ahead and spend time with the EX but be clear to your bf what kind of meeting this would be..About the b-day part..hmmm,isn't it nice to spend it with a more special person beside your ex??think about it then..

Why not ask your boyfriend first? He has the right to know that. Well hanging out with your ex is okey as long as you know your limitations. It is possible that you became friends after the break up, but remember that it's your past already and what is important now is the present. As a sign of respect to your boyfriend now, try not to go with your ex to avoid misunderstandings with your boyfriend.

I think this wouldn't end fine. At the end of the day maybe your boyfriend be jealous.

Just to let your current boyfriend know your intentions are above board I would invite him to come along. He will probably refuse feeling uncomfortable but at least you made the offer.

i think it would be fine, i mean if you dont have feelings for him anymore in that way and its just strictly being friends, i wouldnt see why not, your boyfriend has to have trust in your relationship to make it work anyways, well.. have a happy bday :)
