Yes, but I am paranoid. You have to be careful not to blow these things out of proportion, although I'd understand if you're wondering why your partner is spending time with an ex. I'm quite a believer in clean breaks.

More than threatened...all consumed by jealousy. I think thats probably the natural reaction for most people.
If they were going in a crowd maybe I wouldn't be bothered...BUT alone together, there is absolutly no need to do that and any partner that cares enough wouldn't create that awkward situation even if they were just friends with the ex.

Not at all. He's allowed to be friends! I don't expect him to suddenly sever all contact with his ex just because he's going out with me.

My motto on subjects relating to this is generally, "You can look, but you can't touch"
sure, they can be friends, but under supervision :smile: not in a dark environment where his hand "accidentally" touches hers and before you know it they're getting "shushes" from everyone else to keep the noise down...you know what i mean...

depends how long she had been his ex in a way. I think I would feel more threatened if they'd only broken up shortly before we'd got together

I trust my boyfriend implicitly. If I didn't, then I wouldn't be with him.
you can trust him, but can you trust her...lol

In this particular case, I can trust her because she's been my friend for about 5 years.

Might be a bit miffed but nothing else really. She can be friends with whoever she wants. I would still be friends with my current gf if we broke up.

what if he/she was going to the cinema or what ever with another girl/boy who you've never met but he/she is friends with? Would people feel threatened by that?

I wouldn't like it, for obvious reasons.

I'm sensing there's a story behind that...

erm well my gf has a few guy mates i don't really know that well and i don't mind if she goes for a drink with them.

Still wouldn't care. He's allowed a life outside of our relationship, actually, he deserves to be able to meet with whoever the hell he likes.
