A very dear friend of mine had a painful breakup. We had all been friends for almost two years. She took him to Jamaica and that's how I first met him. When I would visit her in her country she would ask him to show me around if she had to go to work.
When they broke up, he and I still kept in touch. She would know when he is coming to Jamaica and he would tell her that he will try to see me when he gets here. I would pick him up and hangout until he leaves. From time to time I would tell him that I was sorry that they broke up and encourage him to have hope.

One he called to say hi and eventually he told me that he wanted to start dating me. I said no, and explained that I could never even consider it, especially knowing that she still loved him. To me it would feel like betrayal. Is that foolish?

Trust me, dear, you did the right thing. Just imagine if you were in her shoes and her ex asked your best friend out after you just had a lasting relationship. I think most of us would be pretty frustrated if that happened to us.

Dating your friends ex is a sign of disrespect for her, and the friendship you share. I would most definitely never consider it, as our value the friends i have, so in simple english "NO" you not foolish & i would have u as a friend anyday based on your values & loyalty to your friendteddybear hug

hotstuff34: best friends ex's are a no-go zone


wave

Wise, kind, respectful...words!

A friendship is much more valuable that a rlationship with a man (this case).

There are millions of men and friends only a few.
the same goes for women.

so My answer is NO , I would/ will never have an affair/date with my friends ex
