What are your takes on it? Let's say a friend date's your ex girlfriend of 3 years, who you still have feelings for, is he still considered a friend? Or are you one angry/depressed friend.
personally if he asked and i gave my permission id be ok with it but behind my back would be a different story
Well that all depends on whether you guys talked about it or how long you've been broken up with her/how long you've been friends with him. You can't really blame the guy for dating her if you've been separated for like half a year and if they found a spark. When in doubt, just try to be happy for them? Or curse their names behind their backs... it's all your call.
this same thing happened to me, only it was behind my back and it was 2 years not 3, long story short they can both get run over for all I care. stupid bitch started fucking my best friend behind my back.
Over my many years I've had several long-term relationships. None of these women were objects that I owned, and once our relationships were over we were both free to date whomever we desired. I'm amazed at how many people seem to seek out reasons for being angry!
You may be an Old Troll but please keep in mind that the rest of us are only human. As far as being angry, I think she sought out a decent reason for him. I don't know any women that would be cool with me dating their friends after a split. It's not about a woman being anybody's property and of course she can date who she wants, but he also has the right as a human being to be upset by her choice if it happens to be another relationship of value to him and that does not make him a bad guy or someone seeking reasons to be angry.
i wouldn't be only pissed at my ex ol lady, i'd be pissed at him also, i mean isn't there some kinda ettiqute for situations like that? i totally understand about them to get hit by a bus and u not giving a damn but still. it takes 2
id say you shouldnt care, relationshi[ps dont work out for a reason and theres always someone better out there... after all its the freedom of choice that counts istn it?
At the risk of being labeled as harsh, Get over it dude! Do you think you're such a great person that after you date someone they shouldn't date anyone else, ever again? Jesss. I mean, you don't own her.
If that ever happened to me I would cut both of them out of my life and move to a new town and try to associate with decent people. Not till after I TP'd their homes and vandalize their cars first. I'm really mature about this stuff.
I'd find it difficult though it's never happened to me. Less likely now most of my friends are married or in long-term relationships.
I still have intense feelings for my ex, and we were split up just over twelve years ago, and my late friend (passed back in October) knew it would never, ever be okay for him to get involved with her. If we were all still around twenty years from now, it still wouldn't be okay, and he knew it. Fortunately, I trusted him to have respected that. If he didn't respect that, he wasn't that great of a friend. Should it be a big deal? Probably not. Is it a big deal? Absolutely. Fair or not, it's just how it is.
to me it depends on the time frame. If you dated a girl for a year, and six years later your friend gets with her, then so be it. However......... if it was last week, or a month ago that would be different.
I totally agree you never ever date one of your friends ex-gfs ever. Anyone else ok but if your a good friend you won't date one of your friends ex-gfs. It's like rubbing Onions onto your eyes.
