Why would I care.I'd wish them both well and happiness.It would be pretty darn petty for me to dislike either one of them.Life does go on doesn't it?

Im in that positions at the moment. My ex is dating my little sister. A very recent event.
I have found it hard getting my head around it but, Im sure in time I will be accepting of it.
My biggest concern are the children involved. They are old enough to understand the family dynamics and some dont like it one little bit. My 16 year old Son for one. He has lost respect for his Dad. I have told him not to worry about it. That life is full of odd times and people do the strangest things.
Good luck to them and it better last, because it has caused some grief. Especially in my family.

It might seem that way but, he was frightened to ask me to do it. He knows that sometimes I go off and ball him out big time. Im showing them that I am the bigger person in the event. While I am not giving them my blessing as such, I really want to remain out of the picture and leave them to it. They both are really nice people. They are just doing a crazy thing. Who knows? Maybe they are soulmates?

Ur_Knight: I *admire* your ability to do so


Thank you. My ex and I have been apart for 5 years so time heals all wounds. In reality, if I had someone and I was in love, would I really care who he saw? Probably not. We can be very selfish sometimes, depending on what is going on with our own lives and whether we are happy or not. I know there is someone out there for me as well and I dont want to live in the past. There is a bright future ahead.

A close friend...maybe (though I would dislike it intensely). A relative? Unthinkable.

I should qualify the above: it depends on my feelings toward my ex at the time. If we were simply good friends and I had no intense feelings of love toward her, it conceivably might not matter.

At this point, given how I feel at this moment, that scenario would be unthinkable and unforgivable.

Ambrose2007: Well, your attitude is rather amazing to me, Who. I'm more in Rummy's camp for sure.


A few years ago I would have been in Rummy's camp too. No doubt about it. Time clears the head and the heart.

Good for you, Who. wine It requires quite an act of imagination - and I have a pretty good one! - to conceive of feeling that way now, that's for sure. But I have to believe that with time will come peace (if I choose to find it). hmmm hug

I could care less who dates my ex. He's my ex for a reason. If someone else wants to take a chance with him, whether it be friend or relative, all I say is good luck... He will probably be their ex too..and maybe it will work. Whether it works or not, it's none of my concern...dancing

Hey Who,

Just a thought, does your ex have a brother? And what do you think of him?
