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


 
No I don`t think that you should remain friends with an ex once you are in a new relationship because, just because you are over tha person that does not mean that they are over you. And if this is such a great person why arent you still together? And if you are in a new relationship you should think about how that would make your new mate feel.
 
Well personally I think it depends on the level of respect you have for eachothers feeling and brand new relationships. Cause I was with my ex when I was 16yrs old and 4 years went on. After that and through out our relationship yet along he was my man he was my friend my best friend and til today we our the best buddies. The only thing I think is the problem is that the love you have for that person no matter who you with you will still love them. Image I was only 16 and now I'm going to be 24 and we are still the best friends ever. And I will always be there for him no matter if we never be back in a relationship, because I feel like once you love someone you can be there for them.

Ibelieve it all depends on the person.. When I watched the show today I understood where michael(if that's his name) and cindy was comin from about not wanting to let eachother know but their new mates because they don't want to lose what they have with one another I been in the same situation.I wuas 14 when my bf and i broke up. But started talkin 2weeks after the break up and ever sice then we always had a thing for eachother. I'm 16 now and recently started goin bac out again and were happy together. My advise is its okay to still be friends with an ex BUT after you guys break up, y'all got to give eachother time apart before you guys start talkin again because if you don't you'll end up like the people on the show today.

I would say,yes,you should be able to hang out and be friends with your ex. Just because you have a different boyfriend doesn't mean that you can't still be in touch with your old one. The only way I would say no to being friends is if they cheated on you or were horriable/horriably rude to you. But other than that, I would say it's fine.
 
by the things i have gone trough so far in my life i would defenetly not stay friends with an ex. let alone its impossible.
 
my boyfriend and i just recently broke up because we had too many arguements. our biggest one was over the fact that he was still talking to his ex a couple times a week after he promised me he would stop the day he asked me to be his girlfriend. i know he didnt have feelings for her anymore but she is kind of a nut. before he met me she would still send him half naked pictures of him and lead him on. he loved me but he is always too nice and too much of a people pleaser to say no and stick up for me therefore i lost my trust in him and our relationship went downhill from there. you can guess my answer to this is a big fat NOOOO.
 
ok, it isn't a good idea to become friends with your ex. There was a reason you both broke up right? Then why try to remain friends when underneath it all you both still have an emotional attachment to one another? If you both didn't make it as partners what would make you believe friendship with your pervious partner won't interrupt your future partners. Be smarter than that. Move on from your past.
 
I think it is ok. to remain friends with your ex. I also feel it depends on the security of the relationship. If you aresecure in your relationship then it shouldn't bother you. There also shouldn't be any secrecy about the relationship. I am still friends with my ex-husband. We have been in a relatioship for years. We were friends first and agreed that we would always remain friends no matter what. Now, he is my best friend. In some of his relationships the girlfriend didn't quite understand and found me as a threat. I respectfully tried to stay out of the way. Now he is in a relationship with a lady and she is understanding and doesn't see it as a problem and we are actually friends on some sort of level. I guess it depends on the situation and the people envolved.
 
No!! Not a good idea! Be a man! Be a woman! And respect your partner!! ... Love is a beautiful thing.. If you love someone you should be content with that person and that person only... " where a fire burned , ashes remain ". I love my man and would never disrespect him that way. And If he did it to me then I would have three words for him... SEE YA SUCKA!!
 
i say no way... once a couple breaks up it means they didnt love each other that much to stay together, so why put your new relationship on the line for something that was in the past...
 
I think u can stay friends with your ex. i am only sixteen and my ex is a couple of years older and we were friends before we started dating and we are still friends now that we are not dating. I did have one problem with one of the guys i dated he was feeling the friend and ex. thing.
 
Why did they really come on your show is the question. If THIS IS A FRIENDSHIP, than WHY THE SECRET. I am still a friend to guys I had A PAST realationship with, but we keep it REAL. We are Never A SECRET , IF WE HAVE SOMEONE IN OUR LIVE, because it will seem you are still have feelings that's beyound a friendshp and most of all it's DISRESPECTFUL, DISHONEST, AND CAN BE DANGEROUS.YOU DON'T PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S EMOTIONS. For her to be invovled in CHURCH and doing this I don't understand. I SAY MOTHERS if you are aware Talk to your daughters,and advise them that it could BE THE DEATH OF YOU
