Hi thereIt sounds like you and your ex have a really strong friendship! Why should you feel you have to let others understand it? People will always have their own thoughts and opinions on things, so the best advice is to just be who you are and do what feels right to you! If the friendship works and you guys know there's nothing more than friendship, then it doesn't matter what others think. And as for your boyfriend, you can always tell him that it's friendship, nothing else, should you worry about him being jealous. But that said, i don't think relationships should ever cut you away from friendships - they're important! Just explain to your boyfriend what the situation is so that everything's out in the open and he doesn't have a need to feel insecure or jealous.
