Friends with ex-boyfriend.

[East]

I think you are being honest with yourself... and him ...so meeting the ex is not that unreasonable a request.

I was friends with most of my exes and some hookups and in any of those cases there was NEVER a threat at all to whoever I was currently with BUT if I broke up with the guy I have been with for almost 30 years...I could see us going back together quite easily...we have that moth to a flame thing going on...and whoever I was with...if anyone...would definitely have something to worry about and I love this guy so much I wouldn't want to make him feel uncomfortable if possible which would include meeting the "new guy".

EDIT: I just reread what I said above...I hope I didn't add to the flames...wasn't my intention. I do think you have a point but your BF wasn't with the guy for 30 years so there isn't the same kind of bond as I was referring to.
