Dating your friend’s ex?

Chatting with two of my girlfriends, I realized that they have something in common — both of them say their worst heartbreak came from dating a friend’s ex.

Their stories are similar. First, they’ll tell you that it was a mistake they made in their early 20s, something they’d never do again. Both of them dated these guys for a couple years. Each girl lost her former friend because of the relationship, and both of my buddies still seem to beat themselves up over this faux pas.

Girls can be rough on eachother, but we are also pretty dang hard on ourselves. Do guys carry the same type of guilt over this type of situation? And fellas, do you have the same territorial sense over your old flames, and have you ended friendships with guys who have dated an ex?

Would love to hear your experiences. And by the way, does dating a friend’s ex become less of an issue as we get older? Once a friend brands a lover, is said lover his or hers for life?

Good Morning

Well I would not care if one of my friends dated an ex of mine, but I would have to question his sanity if he wants a chick with known defects… LoL ( there is a good reason she is my ex )

I can say that one time and one time only a very close friend hooked me up with his ex because he thought that she and I were better for each other, and it was clear that they broke up on good terms for a very specific reason. And it was not a negative reason per se.

I’ve never dated a friend’s ex, and I don’t think I will either. Me and my friends have different tastes when it comes to men, so I wouldn’t even be attracted to a guy that they like in the first place.

And about getting older, I know back in highschool times this was a stern no-no. And I think it still sticks, but you do find a lot of older people who tend to bend this rule. I know I met a couple who were in their 80s and got married just a few years ago. He was actually the brother of his new wife’s deceased husband, go figure! So I definitely think when you get older the rule becomes more relaxed.

I dated a friend’s ex in high school, 11th grade. Terrible experience and it nearly broke up our friendship. I did ask her if it was okay and she told me it was, I took her word for it, but she lied. It took us about three years to get back on track as friends.

Another friend dated a guy I used to date in college. She asked me how I felt about it when he asked her out and I honestly didn’t care. I was happy that she was happy. They lasted a good two years. I thought they would have ended up married.

There are a few exes of mine that are off limits and same for my friends. If I went out with a guy a few times and thought he might be better suited for my friend, I’ll try to hook it up. But men with whom we’ve had long-term relationships? No, those are off-limits. There’ll never be a shortage that would require me dating a friend’s long-term ex.

Date my boy’s ex?! Hayo Naah! LMAO We all know that our women have been hit by at least one other dude and have performed f****** on at least one other dude, we just don’t want to know that dude; at least me anyway. That’s how fights get started. Check these scenarios:

I’m at a cookout with my potna, my girl (which is his ex-girl), and some other peeps… I don’t want him thinking, “Yeah I used to hit that,” all with a snide grin on his face; ‘cause personally if the situation were reversed I might be thinking the same thing.

  • Brothers will try you. And you know if the ex-man comes with some cruddy comment about ol’ girl, there’s probably gon’ be some trouble.

  • Same cookout, but after 3/4 beers, fool might get mad at his ex-man status and say some sh!t like, “So how my dyck taste?” Again, major trouble.

  • Fellas sitting around talking sh!t about their freak-count and this bamma starts going into detail about the capers that he pulled w/ his ex, who is now your main. And when the other fellas go to rollin’, guess what happens next? Right, big azz fight. LOL

  • Conclusion: Dating your friend’s ex, big NO-GO!

    My first g/f when I was in 8th grade…seeing this girl and I played Select Soccer so would travel all the time for tournaments when I was younger. We broke up cause I was gone every weekend. My bestfriend starts seeing her, remember we’re like 13 at the time! We got in this fight over it. At that point, he’s like “I was wrong, you’re my boy, I ditched her…Bros before Hos”

I’m sure you know chicks can be real freak-a-lics, so having flashbacks of when the chick did a triple aixle off the balconey onto his dizzle is reason to fight…especially if ole dude start laughing to himself or saying shyt like, “Yeah me and ole girl definitely had some good times. She a wild girl.”

    Atl Lady…:)…wun me either. Not dating a friend’s ex. But for some reason i’ve had a few inappropriate passes made from a friend’s man, AND a really bad move/pass from my (ex) guy’s cousin. had to do some snapping that wasn’t nice.

    Alot of my friends are 5-10 years older than i, 1-2 of them are 12 years older. Their husbands or SO remind me of my uncles…and i don’t want anything close to Uncle Frank’s age. Lol they would kill me if they saw my post.

    Morning Observation:

    As i was driving in this morning, the car in front of me windows had some written painted. On the back window it read: Andrew -n- Carol “JUST MARRIED”, and on the bottom part of the trunk was “MOTEL or HOTEL BOUND”. I got over to the side of the car, and her window written smaller than what was on back was “getting incar service NOW!!”.

    hmmm…did Cee almost pass out when i finally figure out what that meant? LOL I called a gf to find out what it meant!!! I ain’t never seen it like that before.

    Hey Cee!

    But for some reason i’ve had a few inappropriate passes made from a friend’s man - I’ve had this happen too and it is totally disgusting! One guy tried it twice with me, even after I cussed him out AND told my friend. She like a fool forgave him, even after he had the nerve to try it with her SISTER too! Since she had such a flip attitude about it, I didn’t tell her about the 2nd time until years later after she finally dumped him. Here I was all concerned, almost crying because I was so offended by his advance! That nut almost cost us our friendship. The Christian in me forgave her, especially after SHE ended up apologizing to ME.

    Say what you will be every woman on here has that one dude in her past that she wishes she could take back, doesn’t count, or chooses not to remember.

    The difference between men and women is that the guys don’t have those regrets.

    @BK

    Whatever dude.

    Whether she from your town or outside of it, same rule as above applies. She done got down with some dude, somewhere, and did something like when the chick did a triple aixle off the balconey onto his dizzle that with somebody.

    Whether you know him or not.

    You can’t get them to do anything that they don’t want to,

    Each and every one has a freak in her, it just takes the right dude to get at it,

    She gone do something nasty and blame it on the time, the alcohol, or the guy (even when it was full participation on her part).

    Leggs - A train is consentual, if not, it’s gang rape. “Want” is reletive. I’d suspect any girl that consented to a train has either been abused or lacking some kind of acceptance in their lives to want to participate in these things. The guys promise popularity or being “down” with them, and some girls may crave this.

    I had one acquaintence admit she’d been run train on and that she wanted it. But I know she’s had a history of sexual abuse as well.

    There is something wrong with that picture …no matter if you think its normal its not ..that girl needs help…. by playing your part you have just become part of the problem.

    Because I bet we talking about kids “teenagers” cause I doubt you can get a grown adult to fall for a train theory…unless she getting paid for it.

    Leggs Well I guess most guys walking around are scum by your book… LoL

    THen there is the freak who gets down with one dude, and asks for more.. if dude is done for the moment she will ask for his friends on the other room to come finish her off…

    Then there is the chick who for whatever reason will do anything you ask her to do, so once guy #1 finishes he tells her to go do his friends and she does so.

    Then there is the chick who might not be drunk or high but is just a freak and if its a room full of guys with nothing better to do she just goes to work.

    Oh and lets not forget the chicks who have always secretly had a fantasy of being with multiple dudes at once,

    And these are only the scenarios that don’t involve financial transactions… LoL

    I’ve had this happen too and it is totally disgusting! One guy tried it twice with me, even after I cussed him out AND told my friend.

    Kimmie you know what’s sadder is when you are leaving a gf home and your walking out of the garage and the guy rolls up and say sumthin ‘jacked up’ and here you’re thinking what made him think it is okay to approach and say such? A compliment is okay when said appropriatly and while ALL are in company. But if you rolling shiesty and fowl..imma call out your MESS!! never lost a friend over the foolishness.

    Atl Lady gurl, my uncles friends have said how “nice” of a lady i’ve become, more inappropriate that just “good gurl”. Then when my uncle come around i’ll say: Booker T what you said ‘bout 3 minutes ago? yea, cause my uncle with they selves can bring alot of expression to a sentence by the time they finish cussin him out. When i was a teenager my aunt dated this guy after her divorce for years, i’ll never forget how he was so nice to us 3 amigos (me and my 2 cuzs that grew up like sisters) we are 1-2yrs apart in age. As teenagers we would babysit the lil cousins…when we would sit for this one paticular aunt, her bf was always extremely nice to us. After having just so happen convo…we found out our aunt’s bf was trying to hit on all of us. The oldest cuz, when she turned 17 he bought her alclhol (Wine Coolers and Boones Farm) for her, she had a sneaky party at their house. To make a long story short, he was a pervert and wanted to see t** from my cuz. Luckily i was here in Atl. and only visited them over summer breaks. I told them he made a pass twice. I told them once i told him a few words he go it right. the older cuz actually was about to fight him during one of the remarks he made.

    For what he did to us and some other mess he did to our aunt. My uncles ended up beating him in the long run. i’ll never forget that fight

    poppa, from yesterday:

    What is a man to do, if the woman has acted as if he is doing ok? Open up your mouf, and tell dude.

    i believe i said that in my post to you.

    she should step up today and say what needs to be said. don’t want her to wait until after the wedding to say what’s up.

    as i was reading your comment last evening (catching up), i received an e-mail from J. I’ve missed you for a long time Angie. It seemed like you wanted to be distant from me. I had no choice but to comply.Kiss how weird is that that your reply to me goes with his e-mail. i went to him on many occasions and told him what I wanted and how i felt. and many times i would let him go so he may come back when he’s ready for a relationship. after all that back and forth, nothing. that’s why i stayed distant … no booty, no calls, no IM. i broke it off 100%. sometimes it’s hard for women to see that there is really nothing there even with all of the lovey dovey feelings movin’ thru the body. that’s why we wait. sharon 2 years, me 18 months, and there’s another blogger who’s been waiting for sometime too. it’s hard because men are the ones who say when we marry. so we wait.

    By freak, I freaky. I’m not placing a moral value on anything anyone has done that is not my place to judge others.

    But since today, you all want to say that anyone that doesn’t fit into your idea of sexual intimacy is somehow wrong. You go ahead and feel that way.

    Live your lives ladies in the manner(s) you see fit, I wish that you are each as happy and santified in your decisions as you seem to be.

    But for me, I have never taken anything that wasn’t offered, and I am comfortable with my decisions in life.

    I would not flaunt my friend’s ex in her face and then expect her to be all cool with it. I have had sex with my friend’s ex and she knew about it, in fact, she endorsed it. She is one of those one-in-a-million type of friends. Nothing aint’ coming between us (pun intended). She’s been my girl since 3rd grade. Ain’t no dyck, old or new gonna put an end to that.

    Don’t think I’ve ever heard of the same circle seduction when it wasn’t an unfortunate & misguided attempt for a woman to ‘show him’, incite jealousy or bring to his senses. Always unsuccesful in achieving any of those goals. Me-I believe in six degrees of separation so let’s keep it as close to the sixth as possible.

    Since I miss the word skeezer… What kind of accommplishment is it to get a skeez to open up shop for you when she’s open to doing business w/ everyone else? Cuz when you know she ain’t discriminating bout her clientele that speaks volumes bout you too.

    Second, if a friend dated my ex…then she was and never will be a friend to me! She is cut from life! That is a deserate move. I know there is a lack of men…but is it worth destroying a real friendship over? My motto…bros over h0es! Menaing my true friends over a dude any day! Men come and go but real friends are until the grave.

    Sasha the older couple you speak of have a different way of thinking. Back in the day during the war, buddies that were serving sometimes mad a pack with each other that if one of them did not make it home and the other was single that he is to marry the widow and take care of her. Plus at 80…trying toget to know someone new is more energy that they may have. And they only have a few more years of life anyway..why spend it alone. You’re old…I’m old…let’s see who dies first!

    so we wait.

    You don’t have to wait. You move on to get what you want even if it means that you get it from someone else.

    I’m not saying that it is easy, but many things life that are worth having aren’t easy to come by.

    Life is too short to waste it waiting on somebody else.

    Sharon has lost 2 year of her life that she will never get back waiting on dude to comply with request that even she isn’t reinforcing. She can’t control other people, but she should have control over her actions.

    Time is the only thing in life that we cannot replenish. Tummy tucks, lift and such just hides things, but it doesn’t give you more time.

    You can lose money and then earn more. Once time is gone, it is gone. Since none of us know our “check out” time, we need to make most of the time that we have. Life is meant for living.

    I tried that in and out stuff once with an old flame (a long time ago). She blocked my number on the phone and my e-mail address. There was no doubting where she stood. She said what she meant, and meant what she said. I learnt a lesson from that one.

If a grown woman wants to get her freak on with more than 2 guys in one night why must she have low self esteem, no morals, etc, etc. Can’t folks just be freaks no more? What about swingers or people who participate in orgies? I mean you don’t know who participates in these activities I gurantee that some of the people we love and respect personally or on TV or in Govt. participate in such activities. Why do go to the extreme of calling folks all sorts of names if they have a more colorful sexual history that we do? its just sex people.

    There are more important character attributes that people have which might in fact affect you. For example this is why Bush in in office now cause he campaigned on an anti gay marriage position.. how on earth was that the most important issue in America back in 2004?

    That is understandable, but if we are talking about adults again its our choice to decide that our actions/ addictions need to be treated. And again there are some people who just like that lifestyle. Unless you get to really know a person you will never know if they are just a freak or if they have under lying issues that need to be treated. But everyone who is into freaky stuff was not mistreated, abused, or otherwise harmed. Basically all that was said to say that we should not rush to label and or judge folks if we don’t know the whole story (which we often never will).
