Being friends with exes while in a relationship

My boyfriend is uncomfortable with me being friends with people I've dated, even if I've set clear boundaries.

What I wish I knew
"He needs to work on his own insecurities rather than controlling my relationships."
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly with your partner about your boundaries and needs."
