Guys, Why would you not want your friend to date your ex?

[hahahmm]

if we just broke up then it implies that my ‘friend’ was with her before the break up. It also means he doesn’t respect me & he’s not loyal. A real friend won’t jump on your ex unless he knows for certain that you’re over her & you don’t care. That requires a conversation with him. Not him guessing or sneaking around.


I have exes who I wish the best for & it wouldn’t be weird if we hung out. Then I have exes who cheated. I just don’t want to think about them at all. Having to eat a meal with them would be like digging something out of a grave and sitting at the dinner table.


All that said, I’m sure you would get it if the boyfriend who cheated on you was dating your best friend

Aside from it being rediculoualy awkward you mean? A lot of men won't admit it but find it hard to disengage their mind from a woman they have been in a relationship with. It would stir up a lot of emotions and evennpossibly resentment towards their friend. Potential friendship killer. Thats why we have those unwritten rules about not dating a friends ex.

Because it would make things awkward for all of us, also I don't want t date someone knowing that my friend shagged her before me. Funny story, I went to school with 2 guys who were identical twins, and a girl dated one of them and then started dating his twin brother after they broke up. I think that's strikingly awkward for the entire universe.

Out of respect they shouldn't but you see it all the time is quite gross like sharing partners pretty much oh we will just go around the friend circle🤦‍♂️😬nasty

I think its pretty common sense that it sucks, doesn't need a complex otherwordly explanation.. who the fuck in this world and reality would want to see his friend with his ex? It is weird and unpleasant on so many levels you must be a complete moron to even accept seeing such a thing.

If I was the one to dump a woman I wouldn't care if one of my friends dated her later.
If she dumped me and broke my heart it would upset me even more if she started hooking up with my friend.
I would still want her.
I would be jealous and angry at both of them.
Guys are competitive.
Guys who are friends consider themselves to be on the same team and have each other's back. A girl can definitely come between them.
That's why they say "Bros before hoes."

Because that's gross I know what my friends been in
Lmfao
Like its cool they can do what they want I just think its gross

[Syrian_survivor]

If we broke up on bad terms I would need time away from her, and my friend dating her would make her a part of my life again, and I dont want that

[Twalli]

The breakup could have been bad, you still might like your ex. You still want to hang out with your friend, but you can't if they're with your ex.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

I think he can do better, but if he wants sure why not?

[jaju45]

If it's mutual break up because of incompatibility or something then, I would allow my friend to date my ex.
For anything else.. Noooooo!
Because friend is family and I don't want him to suffer like me.

[Snowman666]

If my ex was a shitty person or if i still had feelings for them.

[Jamie05rhs]

I don't have an ex, so I wouldn't know.
But my best guess would be that it would be disloyalty. Like, "You're supposed to be on my side, dude!"

[MrTwix]

Depends on how much I've moved on. If I've moved on mostly then i might take it as a personal chllenge, otherwise i might be hurt by it.

[Lliam]

It wouldn't bother me at all. I'd be happy for both of them.

[SlothySlob]

Depending on how she became my ex, I would or wouldn't get in the way.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

Because i want my friend to not die by my hand.

[kamalravi25]

I don't care if my ex dates my friend.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't do it to them

[Acidgamer]

It's just the bro code

[grega239]

It's an unwritten rule.

[schattenherz]

Usually because they are psycos
