dirtball agony auntIf you're truely over eachother, then that wouldn't be bad. However, with most men, we don't maintain friendships with women we aren't attracted to. This would likely be in the back of your current BF's mind. It's a generalization, but it proves to be true in many instances. We always wonder the motivation of that ex, and why they want to still be friends.

Given your situation, him getting married and whatnot, it is a far smaller "risk" in my eyes.

we dont speak often, once in a while maybe see each other once a week maybe less. but the guy has a kid and might be getting married soon, so does that change anything? he's like my best friend though.

dirtball agony auntFor me, it depends on how much contact they have. It's one thing to be cordial when you bump into eachother, it's another to be talking all the time or calling/texting daily. How close a friends are we talking? The closer they are, the more likely they should still be together. I won't be a third wheel in a relationship.
