This is a tricky question for the young people, because more often than not they prefer to have no more connections to the ex boyfriends or girlfriends. On the other hand, when you are mature and dating a new partner, you need to think about your former partner, particularly if the two of you had a long history together and have one or more children.
If you have children, you cannot avoid the relations with your ex and this a good reason for staying friends. Of course, no one is asking you to pretend you get along very well if this is not true. However, you need to respect each other and in addition to that respect your former relationship. Introduce your new partner to your ex, because it is no use avoiding their meeting. The best thing you can do is to keep a good relation for the sake of your children, even if you do not feel like that.
On the other hand, the new partner should understand that you cannot break all the relations with your ex because of the children. Even if you and your ex were childless, your new partner has no right to interdict you remaining friends with your ex partner. You share a past and numerous memories together and even if there is no turning back for you, you may still chat about the old days from time to time. It is a good thing to know you may call your former partner any time and share things to the person who knows you best.
