| Is It OK to Date your Best Friend's X?????
Posted: 4/24/2009 11:04:40 PM | Actually, my best friend did date my ex husband after the divorce...I was neither surprised or upset...I knew she had been in love with him for a long time...she asked me if it was ok...and I said it was ( though I couldn't tell her I thought she wouldn't like the outcome..and I was right about how it ended..but , she would have just thought I was being discouraging)..funny thing was, though I really was ok with it...she wasn't...we were never the same again...I think she always felt guilty anyway...I really missed having her as a friend...
I don't think it is worth the that risk, from my own personal experience... | |

Posted: 4/25/2009 1:52:06 AM | No, there's plenty of  out there without resorting to a friend's ex. I would consider it a betrayal if a mate of mine went out with one of my exes, unless it hadn't been that serious anyway....but I still woudn't like them discussing me. The only time I'd find this acceptable would be in a non serious relationship that didn't last very long where I was the one to end it. | |

Posted: 4/25/2009 5:35:41 AM | NO it is not. There are basic lines you dont cross in life and this is one.
If one dose cross it.One lacks in manners respect and not a second thought for your friend.
Keep in mind if you do this to your friends.What else will you do? One cant be trusted
go figure !!!!! | |

Posted: 6/7/2012 9:39:34 PM | | so I'm not actually replying to this message but saying that I came here for advice on the subject as my best friend and ex-fiancee just recently met through me and there is attraction there yet they are not sure what will happen with it. I'm not ok with friends dating exes but she thinks it's ok. It's been a while since we broke up but the ex and I still talk and some lingering feelings there so I feel it would be better for her not to approach it considering how I feel. any thoughts? | |

Posted: 6/8/2012 3:44:33 AM | LOL...yes by all means its a perfect idea...
...you can sit with your friend and talk about all the cute noises your new boyfriend (her old boyfriend) makes when you are bumping uglies and watch your good friend's face change and just imagine how much she hates you in her head.
Its not like women are naturally catty and uber competitive or anything. | |

Posted: 8/19/2012 3:59:55 AM | | I'm going to say it depends on the time involved. I dated a girl for over 3 years. We were engaged to be married. Ten years after that relationship dissolved my best friend came to me and asked if I would mind if he went out with her. I didn't mind at all, told him to go for it. They dated about a year or so before it went south. He and I are still best friends, no problem. | |

I agree. Here's my factors involved:
- How long since breakup
- Single/Marital-status of best friend
- Length/seriousness of their relationship
- If he got dumped or not; pain effect
- Current state between them now
About 95% of the time it's not under consideration. 3% of the time, it's a possibility but not a good idea. 2% of the time, it's fine.
In other words, as a general rule of thumb -- Don't Do It. | |
