There is this code among men that states that it's not proper for us to do such a thing. I wouldn't do it either. Most girls I know are the same way.

Friend of mine went on a few dates with an ex while deliberately trying to hide it from me...while I was in the hospital no less.

Couple of months later, we had it out and are now good friends again, but I'd never do it to anyone I ever considered a friend...

Considering I only have maybe 3 close girl friends. I wouldn't want to touch the same dude that they've touched, plus we all have very different taste. However one of my friends decided to fool around with a guy that I was having a purely physical relationship with, this was a few years ago, and I still cannont full trust her and sometimes think of her as a selfish cunt. But I guess overall we're still cool, but I am bitter. I kicked the guy to the curb after I found out because I'm not trying to deal with that type of drama.

First of all none of my friends would have the balls to say something like that to my face for fear of what might happen. Secondly I already said above I wouldn't screw around with a friends ex.

this has been done to me. about 80% of the people i hung out with on a regular basis in college and thereafter, I no longer speak to. sucks because so many of them had nothing to do with the situation.

yes and no. a relationship not really. but a fling is cool.


my current gf was a friends obsession but it never evolved and he was shot down then i got with her. lost that friend but lets just say wasn't someone who i could count on.


it all depends how deep the past is

i dated a girl that a friend of mine was engaged to, but only after he married another girl and had a kid with her. I figured that I had waited long enough, considering his situation.

It's seriously tough. 99% of the time I would answer

lol, but recently i started liking this chick who broke up with her boyfriend a couple months ago. Me and that dude are pretty tight now, but never really chilled when they were together. Honestly, I probably won't advance the situation, but it kindof sucks.

sorry for the

hell no...depends on how good of a "friend" and how much of an "ex"....

long story to follow


a guy i dated for 7 months in my graduating year of high school(his name was shawn)....moved away for 2 months, "talked"while we were apart (but were not "together"...basically hooked up whenever he came back home) even though we weren't serious, i thought he cared a lot about me...asked him to be my grad escort (BIG deal, like prom dates in USA)...cheated on me at my own grad......i was a big bitch to him for a year and a half, we kinda hooked up while i was on a x-mas break from college, nothing ever came of it...meanwhile my best friend since i was 4 made friends witha a girl in her psych class (ashley)...we became friends just from hanging out through a common friend...long story short, he eventually came to visit me and some other friends (we weren't "together" or anyhting) and he slept with her....worst part was, we went through a lot of turmoil....me being a big bitch to him, he being an asshole to me, all through the span of 2 years of being around each seasonally (like summers and holidays)....one day, we ran into each other at the local bar, and whatever....he asked me for a ride to a party..i felt really bad about waht happened (i definitely didn't behave as well as i should have but neither did he)..anyhoo...poured my heart out to him basically....(no i wasn't looking for something romantic to happen, just wanted to mend fences, he USED to be essentially a good guy)..i apologized for my past behaviour and i really meant...i was very happy....UNTIL 5 min. later he told me he slept with ashley 8 times.....she was supposed to be my friend....and never said anything about it....and she knew the story...i cried on her shoulder a 100 times....i tried to forget about it (like i said, he wasn't my boyfriend, he was an ex)
but me and ashley shared an apartment together next year....and i could never REALLY get over it

me personally, I woulda beat her ass. Friends dont do that shit. But girls are sketchy. But sharing an apartment with her?! That had to be weird for you.

my thought is this.. the buddy sleeping with her on "acceident" I can deal with cause it's just sexaul frustration. If you want to actaully date and try to make a relationship or screw on a regular basis than thats not a freind. I would do none of the above though. And another rule is it can't be a girl he was with for more than like 2-3 months. As men we all know that after that we are pretty much committed even it's not spoken about.

But just save yourself trouble and go after her friends.
