Should i stay friends with the ex who hurt me?

My boyfriend ended it a couple of months ago for the 3rd time after freaking out that it was getting too serious, he immediately started seeing someone else who he is now with. He says she is the jealous type and has the cheek to winge about her, even though i was never like that and it is not a quality he admires. The problem is he wants us to stay close friends, this may not mean meeting a lot but will certainly mean him ringing me every other day or so, and he says any girlfriend he has will have to put up with it. He says he likes 'me and you'. I went to his house for the first time since we split the other day and he has still has my photo up on his windowsill and cards from me up on his fridge even though she spends a lot of time there. he claims he has no desire to get back together or to make me his 'bit on the side' and even though he gets jealous if i see new men and i have warned him that if we stay in touch i may constantly throw how much he has hurt me back in his face, he feels that it is a small price to pay for the sake of having me in the rest of his life..... I am so confused and not sure of his intentions, or what if it will hinder me.

Please move on with your life. Stop putting your life on hold for your EX BOYFRIEND. You are young and must start taking back control. There is someone out there for you, go find him and enjoy the journey.

fATTYNATTY agony auntmy opinion no - your wating for him to make a move again and in your wildest thought for him to completly change his habits and be the perfect guy, to me hes not him the small things youve seen shouldnt cloud the 3 times hes hurt you once before its hard to say good bye but i think its for the best maybe say hi now and then but i think you need to recover from that relationship as you still have feeling for him .

go out, have fun .... not with him though
