Should I ask my friend’s permission to have sex with his ex?

[Anonymous]

Going anonymous for this one. He’s one of my best friends, I don’t ever want to do anything to hurt him. That’s why I’m asking people on G@G for their opinion before I do anything. Basically he was with this girl for awhile, things didn’t work out, and they split up. I remember a conversation we had where he said he didn’t care if his buddies fucked his exes because he’s not with them so why should he care kinda thing. His ex continues to talk to me sexually and I keep telling her this is very inappropriate and it’s wrong, however I cannot lie. Sometimes the guy downstairs does the thinking and wants to go along with the advances (she’s absolutely gorgeous). I don’t want to do anything long term, no feelings just sex. I just think the appropriate thing to do would confirm with him first. What do y’all think?

Do it, they’re not together anymore so it doesn’t matter

Don’t do it, it’s just wrong with his permission or not

Ask him first before you pursue

Don’t go through with this at all man…

If I were you, I’d first ask him for permission. It’s true that they’re not together anymore, but her being his ex complicates everything. I wouldn’t want to ruin my friendship with him by not telling him beforehand.

Even if he’s already said that he doesn’t care if his friends could pursue her, you still need to ask his permission.

You’re just going to have sex with this girl. You don’t even have feelings for her. Why would you want to jeopardize your friendship with him? So, it’s best to ask his permission and then pursue the girl. 9/10 he’ll be okay if he’s over her.

Chose A. They're not together and she doesn't belong to him, so in my opinion, asking HIM permission for you two to have sex is disrespectful to her, as her consent is all that is required here.

DOn't rule out the idea that she is trying to fuck you to get back with him- women are vicious.

Agreed

[8Bit_LYNX]

And a very good point

Thank you. I sort of thought of that driving home after having read the question and then answered it after about a half-hour of thinking about it

[8Bit_LYNX]

True! I mean you do have a good point. Females be hella shady and sneeky. Gotta be careful 🤙🏻

Permission? Is she fucking property or something?

[8Bit_LYNX]

He’s being respectful of the fact that it’s his friend’s ex

I would just ask him and see what he says
