The Ex and his friends

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 months now. We work at the same company, but he was in a long term relationship until recently. Even though I had met his ex, and know they were together for 4 years, it never bothered me. Apparently their relationship wasn't a very happy one and up until now she was completely out of the picture. However, she is slowly trying to make her way back into his group of friends and has even started seeing a close friend of his. I don't know her well, but my boyfriend says she can be manipulative and he is afraid that she will try to cause a rift between his friends and him. Since I don't know her well enough to judge, I really don't know what to make of the whole situation and his statement really worried me. Can you give me some advice on how to handle the situation?

Hello papillion!

Welcome to Ask the Dating Doyenne!!

First of all, it is his responsibility to establish any boundaries with her. Whether she causes a rift between his friends and him or not, that is something that he has to contend with.
