So as a note to all you women out there who think its cool to be friends with a serious ex, don't. Even the most pussified, croc wearing, mac using, sensitive male will still not be 100% comfortable with it no matter what he says because its what sensitive males are suppose to say. They will still feel better if you stop texting the guy and going to movies together.

Now with all things relationship, there can be exceptions to this rule, and like all exceptions they are rare for a reason, so don't assume that just because the guy that took your virginity is now married and it was 10 years ago that your husband/bf should be totally ok if you guys are friends and hang out and do stuff together, or that its silly that he doesn't want to hang out with you and the guy who used to fuck your brains out and taught you all those moves.
