It depends on a lot of things.
In theory I would say no.
But I do have a progressive thinking friend that had an ex that he loved very much but I knew first and was good friends with. I actually talked to him about it first and he said he was ok with it. Maybe he actually wasn't and he was being a gentleman. Well, it ended up not working out with the girl but my friendship with him is still intact. If I could do it over, I probably wouldn't. His friendship means more to me than my short lived relationship with her. Turns out she was selfish.

 

idk, my girlfriend is very good friends with my best friend, she treats him like a bro. If i were to ever break up with her and he started to date her I would be cool with it. Just me though=\.

 

^ wtf?

 

what??

 

I agree...life is funny sometimes and we can't always plan who we have feelings for.

 

I did it, never been happier...

 

ive been dating my best friends ex for 2 years

 

I concur.

Although I just ended my relationship; found some irreplaceable love, memories, experiences during a "not meant to be" journey.

 

Out of everyone here I should've listened to you

 

@Papa_Sean 15 years later and that's all we get?
ELABORATE! Some of us still live here, you know.
I can also share my own experiences with this because the last 15 years have been interesting for me.

 

I think the advice here 15 years ago was pretty universal with the post you quoted. But I'm also curious about an update.

 

When you're right, you're right
