can you be friends with a ex boyfriend while you are married to someone else?
I just want to know what others think about this. and what MEN think about this ! being married and talking to an ex that you had over 15 yrs ago. would that be so wrong or not? would your spouse be mad at you if you still was friends with an ex boy friend. even though you were just friends and had some good times in the past and no strings attached now just friends. just talking about old times and how life has been stuff like that. you know sometimes you run into old past Friends or bf and you talk to them. and men/ women answer this would you be mad or upset if your spouse talked to an ex bf or gf? if so why or why not? just your opinion on this subject and all. I don't see anything wrong with being friends but i know some men would be jealous or get mad about it. and some women also but if so where is the trust? because aren't you suppose to be able to trust your mate that they are just Friends with them? and shouldn't you be able to be friends with whom ever you chose? i mean does your spouse tell you who your friends are or who they can be? i wonder?

i think its something that could hurt you current marriage due to the fact that once apon a time you
had feelings for this guy and even if you dont have feelings for him now he may have feelings for you
still and trust is a big thing in a marriage but you can only trust so much its like dangling a mouse in
front of a cat eventually the cat is guna want a taste. hope this helps and Good Luck : )

Yes - you can, have friends who stay friends with their ex-es. The key thingS are to keep constant clear communication with your spouse & trust with one another so that there will be if minimal problems &/or misunderstandings. Being too jealous is a sign of insecurity that's why communication is very vital. About spending time with those friends, just make sure you spend MORE quality time with your spouse.

Yes you can. If they are just a friend what's the big deal? My boyfriend and I are both friends with our exes...I think the only reason you would be worried about something like that would be if you were really insecure and didn't trust the other person.

well there is np dude ...but when u broke up with someone just finish it for ever never ever ! even talk to them just forget them if he has a gf now it's ok....but if he doesn;t ....just forget him ...that was my advice dude .....never talk to him ....ur may find some problem with ur husband latter maybe he would tell him something that u don't want ur husband to know ....so it's better to not be a frined with him ....there are many people that u can be friend with them ......

Man and women can't be just s friend. There must be a liking or love. Partner doesn't want to be share.

If you have trust in your marriage you could talk to "insert most attractive guy in the world's name" and he wouldn't be jealous.

You CAN........but need to be careful.
There needs to be full disclosure, your husband needs to meet him, and approve.
We're not including all men in this, just your husband, you need to listen to, and take into account his feelings on the matter.
OK?
Luck
