Things didn't work out so we broke it off, but we're still best friends.My current boyfriend doesn't like how close my ex/friend are and he's really vocal about it. I'm at a loss. My ex and I are used to doing a lot of things together and telling each other things and so forth. And I understand why it would bother my boyfiend. I try to tell him that there's nothing for him to be upset about because I'm with him for a reason - but he still gets mad about it. I don't want to stop hanging out with my ex just because my boyfriend isn't okay with it. But I don't want to lose my boyfriend because of my friendship. So what do I do? Girls, have you ever been in a situation like this? Guys, would you react the same way my boyfriend is? Thank you guys in advanced!!
