depends on the circumstance if its just to see how their doing then what ever. If its abvouse she's infatuated with the person and messaging their ex constantly then its disrespectfull to YOU.
I do not think its disrespectful, I am friends with the majority of my x girls on social media and in person. Iet them be mad , hopefully at some point they will realize that the negativity that they are feeling comes from within
It depends on if they were friends before they started dating I'd let them keep it if they were (I would do the same with mine) If not then maybe make a point about it
I always say it’s not that I don’t trust my girlfriend. I just don’t trust anyone else because I don’t know them. She broke it off with him and I told her that if I had to guess he tried to get back with her for awhile... and she said I was right. I think any two people that have relationship history should “close the door, not leave it cracked.” I just think it’s purely disrespectful to want to maintain a social media friendship with an ex while in a serious relationship with someone else. It shows that you have a need to see what’s going on in that persons life because you care in some way or form and that’s wrong to me.
I completely agree with what you are saying, but I think that blocking / unfriending him has to come from her end rather than being because you told her to.
If you trust your girlfriend, then what's the problem? If you trust her, then surely you'll be fully aware of the fact that she'll decline/reject any of his possible attempts at hitting on her or getting with her? So what exactly is the issue? To me that just sounds like an excuse for the fact that you don't actually trust her. Caring about people from your past and wanting to know how they're doing also doesn't make someone a bad person, that's totally fine and only human. Nor does it mean that they're "leaving the door cracked".
Not really you can't go both ways. If she wants you to unfriend your ex then you can kiss your ex. Otherwise, it's you do what's between you two and she does what is between her and him or vice versa.
I haven’t asked yet. Just told her I didn’t care for it considering they ended on good terms and that it makes me feel like she can’t let go of that person entirely. I’m not friends with any of my exes in any way or form. I just don’t understand why you or they need to see what is going on in your life.
People who monitor who others are friends with on Facebook have WAY too much time on their hands. Hell, get a life if you're going around unfriending unless harassed.

I wouldn't do that. I've never unfriended anybody. I have been unfriended, but I wouldn't do that to someone else. Why burn a bridge unnecessarily?
Why does she need that bridge there if she tells me she has no need to communicate with him ever again?
I would never hang around an ex lover it'll screw up any relationship you get into afterward.

She may have a good reason for not unfriending him.
Glad things worked out
I wouldn't be incredibly serious with someone who tried to choose my friends. Any girl who does finds herself newly single in short order.
You should be able to choose your own friends. You can discuss them with your partner, but you deside if you want to be friends with them.
I suggest you introduce the two. I might smooth things over.
I see no reason to unfriend an ex if said ex is able to stay in his place.

Nope. I wouldn't ask my partner to unfriend anyone.

No. That's dumb. Facebook means nothing. Nor do any social media.
It can be, it depends on the circumstances. Defriending an ex never hurts though.
If you ask her again about it, she will indefinitely see that you are insecure.
Word of experience...
First of all I think Facebook is a bad website and idh it. Explain how it's disrespectful?
Bring it up again, especially if she has made you delete people in the past.
If you and your ex are friends, then it's perfectly fine to stay friends with them.
A partner who demands you unfriend them is just showing their insecurity.
Why not. When is your women you not fear when saying with others this main trustworthy.
