People can do what they want, doesn’t mean we’ll be friends afterwards 🤷🏾‍♂️

[drxwswonder]

This made me feel better, like I’m not alone in this terrible feeling. In the situation you feel on a deep deep lever something wrong, and even if you’re honest with your friend about everything you still would choose the world where your friend and your ex never become a thing. It’s pain on a deep level, almost instinctive. So many emotions and not everyone can take being drowned by their emotions and losing friends at the same time. I’m sorry to anyone else going through this, you are not alone

Why do people think that if you date them they are your's forever? That's what you are saying when you say your friend can't date your ex. If you aren't over them, then why are you with someone else? If you are over them, why do you care if your friend and them hook up?

They are your friend, meaning they must share some similar personalities and tastes as you, maybe even types of people. So while it may not have worked for you, it will work for them.

Stop being a selfish controlling individual saying no friend can have what is yours (newsflash, ex isn't yours), and move on.

Only time it's an issue is if it's an ex because they literally harmed you, stole from you, endangered your life... and that friend knew that. That's the only time you can say "Oh hell no."

[lilmakori]

I don't understand this point of view the ladies. Especially if your married, what exactly are you mad about... You and an ex didn't work out and they might be perfect for your friend. You don't own that ex, and have no claim on them.

[AyikosMedley]

Am with the lady in green! You don’t own people! The only person you in covenant and who you are bound to, is the one you marry

[afrosymphony]

if i am married to you and your mad one of your friends started dating your ex, you're getting dropped!

[metalheadlass]

If you’re happy with your relationship, why do you still care about who is with your ex? Sounds like unresolved issues

[nancypaopal]

I think it depends on the relationship they had, I had similar experience. I dated a guy for about a month it wasn’t serious, felt like he wasn’t as into me before we started dating so I ended it. 2 years later, my friend reached out to me saying that they became close friends and it’s kind of turning into something but doesn’t want to explore it if I’m not okay with it. I told her look he wasn’t for me, it was nothing serious so I have no problem and won’t ruin what we have if you start dating him.

[virginiacoleman]

The answer is Heck NO!!! I agree, too many emotions are still attached to the "ex"!

i agree, the trust would def be altered. if im married then i would wish you well but i dont wanna be around you and my ex. cordial but we can't be best buds.

[TOracle]

If you value your friendships, give it six months to two years, depending on how serious they were. If your friend is cool about it, still give it a month. Good friends are hard to find and that gets worse as you age, so you want to keep them as long as possible.

Now, if you don't care about your friend, then do whatever.

[arronlucas]

I personal don't care who my ex dates its not my business find someone and be happy. I really wouldn't care.

[johnniehart]

I think people are missing a point key word is best friend! If she is your best friend the downfall is that you probably want see them as much. As a man if you are my friend and started dating my I couldn’t be around you two, They are an ex for a and no longer wanted them in my life. So now unfortunately you won’t be in my life either! I’m a firm believer in always going forward

[Doctordiva]

Best friend issa no, but acquaintance I say go for it but you probably won't be friends with that person anymore. I always say if you go that route, understand that the friendship won't remain the same (probably over). It's worth it if the person ends up being the love of your life, but if the guy was a dog he's probably gonna dog you out too and you'll lose a friend and have your heartbroken.

[jeremyjohnson]

I like how they make this about themselves. And the lady in green actually cares about other people's feelings

[crystalt]

I don’t understand this point of view. An ex is an ex...if you’ve married and moved on..it’s kind of an injustice to the current person you’re with to still harbor feelings for another person (an ex). I feel like women these days are all sorts of insecure and selfish.
Maybe an ex would be perfect for your friend.
Incredible.

Man it’s really difficult for folks to be real and authentic these days.

[nickylnr]

I've never been attracted to any of my friends men. Ewwww. It's an automatic no. One of my gf hooked me up with this guy once and after we started dating she made it slip and told me she had sex with him before she introduced us.. Can I tell you I blew a lid? How dear she? I told it it was wrong of her to hook me up with somebody she had slept with and I stopped talking to the guy because it wasn't the same after that.

[Harley]

The only thing I'd be mad about is having to see my ex again every time I see my friend lol

[amoramoleko]

My friends can date any of my exs . I don't mind. I'm married and have moved on. I mean what if my ex is her soul mate😉

[anthonyurbina]

Crazy how the two women on stage think that it's okay to be friends with their ex husband or ex-partner and be in a relationship and their partner has to accept it but changed her tune real quick if someone wants to date their EX
