A friend of mine is going to marry my ex next month. The only reason I object is because she wants kids, and doesn't nessesarily care about if he is her type or not.
It isn't a good idea... quite a low blow and it is sure to cause drama and issues... definitely messed up
I didn’t do anything yet. I was just wondering for the future
ONLY if the friend gives you express permission or you don't mind losing that friend
if you do that, you can expect to lose that friend in the long run if not even in the short term.
Love is love.
If your friend can't handle it, that's on them.
How to lose a friend in 20 minutes.
Talk to your friend first. Which do you value more, your friend or a possible boyfriend?
I mean how great was your ex bf? If things ended on good terms and he was chill, then I don't know, it's kind of fucked up.
BUT if he was a douche bag, then go for it!!! fuck all his friends :-)
if she thinks is okay and supportive of me with her ex
Date whoever you want. If you both connect and seem to get along, then go for it!
Sure why not she had her chance just cause it didn't work out for them is no reason for you not to beable to date one of your old friends.
I wouldn’t do it. And I’d hope my friends wouldn’t do it either
Yeah. But probably not straight away. Leave an appropriate duration between (whatever both you and your friend deem appropriate). And maybe talk to your friend abut it prior.
I wouldn’t. Try to find someone else before you get too attached it will probably hurt your friend.
No, my best friend did this to me and it hurt so much even though she told me 2 weeks into the relationship, we didn't even talk for 2 months, please don't make this mistake just find someone else.
As long as you let your friend know your feeling about it and they are good with it
I wanna say no my friend flap out Judy because I was still friends with his ex
Ask your friend. When it's okay for her, ask him. Bros before hoes.
there are so many fish in the sea... why mess with trouble?
If she is still getting over it, then don't. But if she's okay with it, why not?
I guess if you have the friend's blessing to do so it's ok
I think it really depends on what the two friends think of it.
Nope, nope and nope. Discuss with your friend first
I would never date my friends ex. I would never even speak to my friends ex.
Would you still not speak to your friends ex if you were friends with they before they started dating your guy friend?
Depend on who I am closer to. It just ends in way to much drama for me
I have seen this both work very well, and go horribly wrong. Ask. Communication. It really makes the difference.
I don't think thats a good idea... When your friend was dating the ex were you not in a relationship or you probably the cuz of their brakeup
Under 20 yo, it's no okay, because you're too worried about the social inplications of it. After that, meh, you won't even ask that question
No it's always harmful n very bad for ur friendships everyone stops believing u
You can lose your friend like that if your not careful
Do what contents your desire to remain human and special for yourself 👍
If your friend is OK with it yes, else what ever the girl Version of "bro bevor hoe" is
if they r cool with each other than yes, but if it ended on bad terms nope
Not gonna lie I would not stay friends with you. BUT, it depends on how long they were together, their history, why they broke up, etc.
I guess it's more important to know if he really like you, or is just a trophy for him. If is real love , your ex will understand.
I would say wait a bit just out of respect for your friend. When you think she is ok tell her you plan to do this and go for it
I never seen a problem with dating a friends ex but if it's your brother or sister trying to date your ex then there is a problem
Good try to make relation with him because first love is first love i am happy to see
I have never seen it work out. Someone always gets their feelings hurt.
I don't see a problem if y'all were already friends before they got together
It is ok if your friend past away or something but if alive forget it.
I think it would depend on how the two of you feel along as how your friend feels.
You might loose the friend, but have a lover for life ;)
As long as you ask your friend
its the rule. you dont date a friends EX, unless you dont value your friend
Be prepared for her to end your friendship.

lol trueee
Don't do it , not worth it
You were never her friend to begin with
What makes you think this?
Don't believe because some friends end up falling in love with there friends ex and feel bad because of it but it's not your fault for liking him your heart chooses for u. Your heart chooses not ur heart and brain your heart
A true friend wouldn't do that. and I don't know why everyone is sitting here sugar coating it bc if you did this to them they'd be pissed. you were never her friend
And how do you know he won't use you to get back at her? get some moral's
You're just tacky and insecure. he was never interested in you he liked your friend and you're just a last resort option to get back at her. truth hurts but o well
That could be true he could be using her but she'll realize that for herself when time gets there and some friends actually don't get mad some friends give up someone they love because they know there friend is in love with them if this boy really likes her friend his ex he'll realize it and go back with his ex and just friend zone her
Not all boys are like that tho
@kpop I can just tell she's insecure and goes for whatever comes her way bc she secretly jealous of her friend. no shade but I'm guessing her friend is the pretty one
He’s the one who broke up with her. So no, I do know it’s not to get back at her, because he has nothing to get back at her for.
And I know it’s wrong. That’s why I asking on this site. I wanted to get other people’s opinions on it because I can’t stand not being with him and wanted to know if I have any options besides either ruining my friendship with my friend or not dating the guy I love
Ok so you know he hurt your friend yet you're interested in a guy like that? where's your back bone
That's up for u to decide if your friend doesn't want to be supportive I can see Where she is coming from before I have had a friend that has a dated my Ex because she begged him to date her because she liked him since the day the met when I introduced her to him but I wasn't mad I was disappointed that she didn't tell me she liked him
But it's all up to you what u wanna do
You just seem jealous of your friend. if I were her I'd kick you to the curb. she was his first choice. he never acknowledged you until the two broke up
That's very true
But it's all up to u what u choose to do
Yes ☀️☀️. She knows it's wrong but wants people to say it's ok so she can validate betrayal 🤔
It’s not like he cheated on her or broke up with her over text. He broke up with her because of some personal problems I was not told about. It was something along the lines of how she is being selfish by only talking about her problems instead of his
@hq exactly I know her type. she's insecure, guys never pay attention to her, her friend is the pretty one.
@Asker I know that type of friend I have many of them and I cut them off
@asker girl bye you're an insecure troll and mad bc your friend is pretty. no guys like you nor do they ever pay you any attention. so you hop at the first thing available. girk kick rocks
@asker you're a joke and a fraud
@asker and that's your business because? get a life.
@lilmissumshine can you stop being so rude she asked for advice not criticism
@kpop girl back off. its open commentary she set herself up due to stupidity. and last I recall you posted on my comment. post your own comment and talk to her there tfoh
Your the one who should get a life instead of insulting a random person online who you know nothing about
@hq exactly she playing the victim card
@asker insulting it's the truth. you aren't pretty like your friend. you get left overs. im sorry but it's true.
@asker face it he was never attracted to you that's why he chose your friend. And I'm sure most guys go for your friend and not you.
I’m not ugly. But so what if I even am? I have a great personality and have had boyfriends in the past that had no relationships to any of my friends
@asker that's what you think. im just saying he was never attracted to you. he noticed your friend and not you. it just seems like She looks better than you. abd you're jealous of her
I feel like someone really broke your heart for you to be reacting so harshly to a post
@asker don't blame your insecurities on me. this is just common since. it's called a "real friend". I would never hurt my friends
It’s not that she’s prettier than me. It’s that I’m shy. It takes me a while to open up to people, while my friend is really outgoing
@asker people like her better you're jealous of her.
@asker honey move on. he never payed you any attention before and it might just be all in your head that he's flirting. I don't think he's at all interested in you
Why would I be jealous of her. I dated more people than her, I have people that care about me in my life, I have great family and friends... I have never liked any other of her crushes or friends. This one is just different. I liked him since the first time I saw him
Don't worry @asker your beautiful in ever way forget him you'll find someone who will only want u and only focus on u as well so don't worry about being shy so am I also I can be out going but boys are attracted to me just never tell me because I'm not someone they would mess with but I believe you are beautiful and that there is someone looking for u to call u there's so do not worry
@kpop why do you lie so much? be honest for once in your life. you can't even see the girl
😂😂
Lies
And he always paid attention to me. I was always the one he turned to whenever he had a personal problem, I was the one who was there for him when he was having family issues and Throughout all the other hard times in his life. Even when they were dating, we texted every night for multiple hours. It’s not something new
Girl bye you full of Doo Doo. you're delusional its all in your head
So you already betrayed your "best friend" by messaging her boyfriend for hours every night. "These hoes ain't loyal"
@hq exactly. she's a bitter hater. she mad cause her friend is pretty and gets all the guys. that guy don't want her 😂. she delusional
@hq1391 she knew I was messaging him. I never did anything behind her back. He was my friend before he was her boyfriend
@asker 🎊ring ring ring. if he was your friend all that time and never asked you out what does that tell you? he's not attracted to you. he chose your friend over you. she's pretty you're not
He chose your friend over you. she's pretty you're not
All that time 😂. I was friends with him for a week before hand. As far as I know a week isn’t that long
Girl bye you lie too much and are delusional. i doubt he even flirted with u. the more you talk the more you lie. bye
You say bye. But you keep coming back to diss me. Make up your mind
And if sending me hearts and calling me beautiful isn’t flirting, I don’t know what is
Is it worth losing a friendship over?
depends on the circumstances
If you want to, then why not?
I don't think it's a good idea.
I personally am against it.

It depends. Not right after a breakup of course.
No way in hell its just so awkward and hurtful
U-18 who thinks she can't love anyone again, lul
I’m insecure and am going through depression. So yah thoughts like that cross my mind every now and then.
And I’m 16. Almost 17
why uneccessarily cause trouble?
It's more than ok, it's amazing.
A few years down the line possibly
Maybe, depends on situation
