ok, maybe I'm going to be bashed for saying this but:
jealousy can end relationships but
nobody should have to be a doormat
I don't think he's being unreasonable if this guy has interfered in the past
from my personal experience, I can tell you that exes as friends is not always a good idea - there was something there once and there could be again in a moment of need
you can trust someone all you want but things happen
so keep your eyes open. I don't like "friends" of the opposite sex who whisper private jokes in my guy's ear.
Maybe I'm too protective but I say I'm just not blind.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
