Your ex is still in love with you. Then of course it would be awkward if you introduced him to your current boyfriend. But is that the case with the OP? Doesn't sound like it. That's why I disagree that she's keeping him around for the ego boost.
My comment about my ex has nothing to do with why she is keeping him around. Those were two separate points.
I agree with you that he has no right to be offended that she was dating more than one person at a time if they were not exclusive. I do, however, think she wants to keep him around for an ego boost. Usually there is a slight break between dating and friendship.

Let's agree to disagree. No insecurity here, just confusion. You're right, we weren't in a serious relationship. But how would you feel if your GF brought a friend to your house that she used to get in bed with? Would you just hand him a beer and not have any feeling about it in the back of your mind? This didn't happen to me, just a scenario. IMO it would be awkward. That's just me though. If you're comfy in those situations, more power to you.
You're describing a scenario which is different than the situation you're in. If anything, it's the guy she's dating who might feel awkward. Look, I get it. It can feel a bit weird to be in a room with someone you dated and her current boyfriend. But unless I were in love with that person and it hurt to see them with someone else, I would get over it pretty quickly. All I'd have to do is remind myself of why she and I weren't right for one another.

My point is that there's nothing to suggest that that's the reason she's keeping him around. How do you know she's trying to boost her ego? I saw nothing in his post that would make me think that.
BTW people, in my OP, I did clarify that her going out with different people was NOT a problem for me. Reread it. I said "whatever, cool".
Yes, but you also said she had "side pieces". Side pieces? Really? So if you start dating someone and she's gone on dates with other guys too, are they "side pieces"? I'm dating someone now. I have no idea if she's dating other men. We're not exclusive yet. But I would never describe those other men as "side pieces". I would simply say "OK, she might be dating other people besides me". Just like I could be dating other women besides her.

I don't know dude. It's just my opinion. I really am not that invested in it.

I see. An opinion, but nothing on which to base it. Hmm.
