My ex and I have been speaking for awhile and recently for new years, he invited me to his friends house party. It was fun and I met a lot of people, one of them being a friend of his. He was really nice and the day after the party messaged me on instagram to say hi and asked how I was doing. We spoke at the party about how his brother worked at a place where i’m able to get a camera and on instagram we spoke about which cameras he recommended and stuff. He sent me the photos he took of everyone, and my ex knew about that, but I already mentioned that to him. I feel like the conversation is going to keep going and tbh it feels weird to even have a regular conversation (no flirting or anything) with him without my ex knowing and I feel like he’s going to be upset. Should I tell him? What should I say?
Uhhh, I dunno that's a tough one. On the one hand your ex might get jealous or something if you talk to his friend without telling him. But at the same time it's not like you're flirting or anything, you're just talking cameras and stuff right? Maybe just play it cool for now and see if your ex even finds out. If the friend starts saying anything weird though or your ex asks you directly I'd probably fess up. Don't wanna lose your ex's trust over nothing. Maybe drop it casual into conversation next time you see your ex, like "oh by the way so-and-so was asking about cameras the other day." Keep it light though, don't make a big thing of it. Hopefully your ex won't care. Good luck!

He his your ex it is really none of his business who you become friends with or not or weather there is any flirting or not. If you are uncomfortable with it then end it stop talking to him after at least explaining your reason don’t just ghost him like some kind of a$$hole just be up front honest and then just end it. Sorry if I’m harsh just speaking my opinion and how I have dealt from personal experience when I have been ghosted over someone just being honest with me

Why the F would anyone care what their ex thinks?
Do you need his permission to date or even to talk to another guy? Are you trying to make him jealous? Do you want to start trouble between him and his friend?
It sound like you're still not over your ex and are hoping to get him back.
Why don't you just move on with life?He’s your ex, whatever you do have nothing to do with him, you are single and can make your own mind up about what you do. He is your EX.
You can if you feel the need to. But if you’re starting to like someone else. Maybe you should make a direct move on him.
Ask yourself this question... what benefit would there be if you tell your ex, versus not telling him?
If it were me, I would see no benefit in telling him.

If you are talking to your ex and what he thinks still matters to you, then you really haven't broken up.
You don’t need to tell your ex anything, An ex is an ex for a reason, exempt them from your life , an ex has no say on what you do period
It shouldn't matter, even er n if it does get romantic. Your ex isn't a guy who you're interested in maybe dating again, right? So if a rekindled relationship is off the table, it doesn't matter.
Why? He is your ex now and you are open to date anyone too.
yehhh it is s tough question.. do you still speak to your ex and how good of a friend is he? all depends how you feel towards the situation.. he could be mr perfect and it could be a disaster..
Exes that's not a friend clearly wouldn't do it if he was
Yes you should let him know because after you fall into trouble, you can't do anything.
I would think it’s none of his business. And it will only cause more drama and problems if you tell him.
Ya go ahead and tell him
No I don't think is important at all
