Especially the heavier ones, you might sprain your backs.

right, that would be true in most circumstances

but there are those circles of friends who were actually FRIENDS before they began a relationship and who share mutual friends with each other


sometimes that boyfriend IS one of the friends in your circle, which is when (if it doesnt work out because of romantic incompatibility) , it would probably be EXPECTED that some other friend in the circle might end up dating them

quite honestly, I can't think of any of my friends that my exes would want, and vice versa - to it's a w/e - IDC cuz usually after a break up we stay amicable but seldom see each other. So I wouldn't mind really, but prolly not see much of my friend (female friend) at that point - or the ex

I used to hope my best friend and ex would get together, because she had a real creep and he was a great guy except for the cheating,,,

she was already putting up with cheating BUT her boyfriend didnt take care of his kids and my ex always has,, I thought my ex would be good for her because of how much he loves his kids and I thought she would be good for him because of how much she wanted kids,,,

would it bother you?

This happened to me before and yes, it bothered me.

A good friend started going out with my ex, that I was crazy about for a few years. She didn't come tell me but I knew enough about him that I could read his body language when they were together. It wasn't that he was a touchy/feely kind of a guy, but that he would be cracking jokes and smiling more. I confronted her and then walked away...

After almost a month had passed, and it was her birthday. I saw her and just handed her a gift that I had bought a while before and didn't want to return. She told me she broke up with him because a girlfriend is more special than a guy and wanted to put it behind us. Our friendship is better now because we realize what we would have lost, over a guy who can't keep it in his pants...
