Topic: Off limits? | |
---|---|
Dont know if this thread was done before...if it has..sorry..dont shoot me! But i thought I would do it anyway!!
Is it wrong to date a good friends ex? If not, what is a reasonable amount of time before they are "fair game"? If you think it is wrong, what is your reason why you feel this way? Any stories/ opinions? P.S No this has nothing to do with me!! Just curious! |

No its off limits. Its disrespectful to your friend.
|

I don't think it is fair to the friend. What if you and the friend wanted to hang out and the girlfriend wanted to come along. Both the friend and girlfriend may feel uncomfortable.

I have a close friend I've dated a lot of his ex's
I asked him first if he was cool with it it hasn't been a problem |
|

i'd say it was off limits if it would bother your friend. i've had friends that could care less and some it woulda destroyed so i'd say talk to your friend first and find out.

This topic was asked on my radio station this morning...and a guy called in saying that he married his good friend's ex and they have been together for many years..he said his friend was ok with it....and he said that it has to do with "being mature about the whole thing"...interesting...

it is ok

I'd say you need to talk to your friend. I think a good rule of thumb is 2 months wait for every month they were togeather. This could get thrown out though when the couple were togeather for years, then it's just off limits.

i would say its not nice its happend to me, but if there happy and u care about them thats all that matters even if u wanna hate them it its mean to not let some thing amazing to happen

I wouldn't do it at this point, but it's not much of an issue, since none of my friends has ever dated anyone the least bit interesting.
Hypothetically, I can imagine a scenario where this could potentially occur, and I can't say I would absolutely never do it. But I would need a damn good reason! If everybody was OK with it, then, why not? -- but otherwise.... |

I think it is all a matter of everyone's comfort level. One of my friends dated my ex for a while and it was no big deal. Now, if he had dated her while we were together, different story. It seems to me to be a matter of maturity level and possesiveness.

I have, but it only leads to bad blood.
Now I had an old fishin' buddy that ended up w/mine after a good while. Only reason I said had was he drowned last summer. Sure do miss him. |

No thats off limits...I wouldnt want my friend dating my ex its just a awkward situation
|
|
|
|
The only reason I did was because I thought she would be better off w/me than the jerks who were after her.
But alas she left me for the jerks. No good deed goes unpunished |

Never done it....oh wait....I have...my bad. You should ok it with your friend first. It was a general YOU..or a collective You....not you in particular |
|

i really dont think it matters to much to guys
but i think that girls have a problem with that it also depends if u friend still has feelingd for the other person. its one of those things that is differant with each person, depends on that :) |
