    A friend of mine (female) recently started dating her ex-boyfriend's younger brother. A lot of her friends really judged her for it, but I don't think its that big of a deal.

    Here are the circumstances. After dating this guy for about 6 months they mutually decided to break things off. They didn't think it was going well and they were having a hard time with the relationship. After a month or two she started dating the guy's younger brother (who's only two years younger.)

    Wrong?

    Morally speaking, for some, it can be viewed as being wrong, yes.

    Morally? By who's standards? Standards we set ourselves.

    No, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I personally would have the respect to talk with my brother first but why not? They mutually broke it of, she and him a fair game.

    the people judging her are not her friends. cos real friends dont judge, they just love you unconditionally.so she should'nt care what they think.and theres notin' wrong with that anyway. i hope they will both be very happy together.live an let live!

    "Friends don't let friends drive drunk."

    Before giving advice to a good friend, its is necessary to judge that friend's behavior.

    If one is not seeing and judging another's behavior, then continuing to associate with that person isn't a friendship, it's a habit.

    I'd be mad as hell if my brother did that.

    This story reminds me of this vid:

    i think maybe your definition of judging is different than mine. i'm talkin' about petty smallmindedness.people judging others cos they have notin' better ta do with there time.my friends never judge me or i them.we're just always there for each other no matter what.we love each other in the right direction with caring and understanding ,not with judgment.and no of course friends dont let friends drive drunk.if i came across a stranger attempting that i'd take their keys away too.

    Why is it wrong?

    If I wasn't mistaken, when you break up with someone, you are disconnecting yourself from them -- so that their life will no longer affect yours.

    This includes their relations.

    You're right. I'm talking about using one's discernment and sharing that with one's friend. Too many people allow foolishness (of various importance) to go uncommented on on the theory of "don't judge".
    Judgment or discernment is good; Pettiness or butt-in-skiness are not.

    Awesome friends you have! I know I don't have to tell you to cherish them.

    ahh,but thats a different thing now alltogether michael.i get what your sayin',but in my opinion of people that leave helpful comments uncommented, i doubt very much its because of the" dont judge theory!".my guess is thats more lack of caring and wanting ta be popular rather than bite the bullet and go with what your instincts tells ya ta be right and most of help to our fellow humans.though i dont agree judgment is good in my difinition of the word,unless it concerns a game a snooker or something in need of of sightful judgement.but thats a different kinda judgment.ya i agree the seeing eye of discernment is indeed a prescious gift, once used productively and constructively in a positive manner for betterment of oneself and all our fellow beings.butt-in-skiness,whats that?

    i guess its alright to date an ex's brother, if things are clearly over with the ex.
    having said that, it has to be super awkward, especially for the two brothers.

    One who butts in where it is none of one's business is a butt-in-ski.

    The proper punctuation for a sentence that begins "It's none of my business, but.." is a period immediately after "but". Do not be excessive in supplying the punctuation. Killing a fool is only a momentary pleasure and is sure to get you talked about. Lazarus Long

    Not necessarily wrong at all, it depends on the situation though. I don't know these people.

    i would spell it "buttinski." that way, possession of that trait would be buttinski-ness. the way you spelled it, it looks like something about a butt in skin.
