You loved your ex and you were with them for awhile. And it's natural to want to keep tabs on them or turn to them for advice and support. But what about when you're in a new relationship? Is it okay to still have your ex in your life -- or is there no room once you're with someone new? Check out what these New Yorkers had to say.


NEXT: My Man Is Still Hooked On His Ex


 
two hell no!!!,you break up and thats it no being friends when you are in a new relationship with someone else because the new partner will have some reason to be worried or jealous,then it will be big mess so as i look back i wouldnt want to friends with my ex's so i will never do that.
 
This is not only a question for girls but should also be asked to guys. I am 21 yrs old and engaged to my high school sweetheart and as of today, I still keep a close friendship relationship with sum of my ex's. He strongly disagrees but I make sure to remind him dat I am with him and that I am willing to spend the rest of my life with him. Sometimes when I do speak to my ex's he will look at me with a weird sight but as he does I hug him and remind him how much I love him and as long as I keep demonstrating to him dat I love him with all my heart and dat I want to spend the rest of my life with him I am assured dat he will respect my choice to be friends with my ex's
 
i wont stay friend becos i dont want to remember anything about my past relatiship to compare with my present relatnship. i have to live in d present not d past
 
WOW!! I don't know,maybe if both can handle just being friends.I feel that if they are wanting to be close friends,,both or at least one person may want to get back together.For some crazy reason,its allways easy to be friends with a ex.It just reminds me why we are not together.
 
NO dont think that u should still be friend wit ur ex b/c tht goin to cuz more problem in ur new relationship and there wont be any trust. no boy/girl goin to wan the partner to be talkin on the phone or text wit ther ex.
 
excuxe me. i am friends with most of my exs. there is NOTHING wrong with it IF handled correctly. one of my exs is pracically my brother now. if ur friends before and are mature enough to handle it correctly there is nothing wrong with being friends with exs.

Hmmm i think it depends on the circumstances. The relationship between you and your ex is alright to a certain extent. If you love your ex than of course its going to be hard to have a friendly relationship temptaions can occur and come between you and your new relationship. I think it would be only right to discuss it with your current partner and take it from there.
 
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both parties are in denial! Just GET BACK TOGETHER THEN!
 
It really depends on the situation. Some relationships are mutually beneficial to both parties in situations that may not necessarily be emotional so after the relationship is over it may be in their best interest to remain friends for networking purposes, for business or financial purposes or for a number of reasons that may not necessarily be emotional. On the other hand, it may not be in your best interest to remain friends with your ex if you cannot control your emotional feelings.
 
Tyra, to be honest with you, I think that being friends with your ex while in a relationship is not right. I tried it and it just about ended my relationship. My ex did nothing but run me down, call me, and show up at my house. And my husband did not like that and almost filed for devorce. So NO, it's not ok to be friends with your ex when you are with someone new.
 
umm NO !!! duh thats just an excuse to get an easy booty call, if yur still friends then u arent mature n its not healthy cuz u cant let something go, it ended for a reason freakkn move on already n stop bein a baby.
 
i think if u still have feelings for your ex and ur not over him and definitely not getting back together to let him go so that u dnt run ur relationships with the new guy.
 
i think that it depends on hwo the relationsip was or how it ended. i have an ex and for some reason even though i have a bf i still kinda have feelings for him. i think its ok to be friends but you should keep your distance. you would'nt want a relationship with an ex ruin a friendship you might have.
 
Me and my ex broke up about a year ago and it is working great. I know that he still has feelings for me but we have both moved on to other people. My husband however doesnt think i should be in contact with him, but i know that i would never go back to my ex. So i think it depens on the situation.
