I was friends with 2 ex-girlfriends in the past. Both times, the "new boyfriend" would eventually make his stand against "hanging out with the ex".
When it came down to it, it was simply explained that we were friends for a long time before we were a couple, and breaking up doesn't (necessarily/automatically) change that. Also, I met them in person to explain this to them and that was that. Still though, if the roles were reversed, I'm not sure I'd trust it if I were in their shoes. I think, however, I'd be hard-pressed to meet a guy I'd actually believe or trust as far as I could throw him.
