You go to your best friend's home one morning to pick up that thing you lent him. He goes to get it and while he's gone your ex-girlfriend suddenly walks out from his bedroom while playing on her phone and says "Hey babe, come see my Poliwa-... oh.... Hey... [Firstname].... What are you doing here?"

The only thing she's wearing is your best friend's Skillet T-shirt that's way too big for her.

How would you react?
What do you do?

You having dated someone doesn't mean that you own them. It doesn't make them off limits. But at the same time if your best friend respects you, which they probably should if they are your best friend, then it is just polite and respectful to let them know beforehand so you aren't blindsiding them.

I dont think you should keep secrets from your best friend, but I dont think you should have to call them up beforehand and let them know you plan on courting an adult.

Common courtesy is that the friend asks if its okay and you give the okay even if youre still a little hung up on them. But my most recent ex was over a decade ago, so I wouldnt give a fuck at this point as Im in a happy marriage.

When my semi-friend (she wasn't a very good friend to me but considered me her best girl friend) found out I was dating her ex not long after they broke up first things she did was confront him and go off on him for dating her friend (as he pointed out to her she done similar things in her past) and how she finally thought she had a girl friend but I guess not. Then that night she texted me, "Please don't". Then a week later she wrote to him and said she overreacted and she gets it since she'd done it before and he's free to date whoever he wants. Then she left a comment on my Instagram saying "have fun darling". So that's I guess how someone would react if something similar to your scenario went down.

You don't have to do anything. You are free to do whatever. But having relationships, romantic or friendships, isn't about only doing what you have to do. It's about respecting and supporting people. If your only interactions with people are what you have to do, then you probably don't have any friends.

So youre hanging out with your friends and one of them is your best friends ex from whenever and you guys are having fun and one thing leads to another and youre about to make out and youre like hold up lemme call my bro first I gotta see if this is okay

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

???

Explain. Do you say this because I think there should be a level of mutual respect between friends? Breakups can fuck people, mentally, and you never know what's potentially going to cause problems until you ask. Remember, we're talking about your best friend, not just some person you happen to know.

Here's what's happening. I hate you and I never want to see you again. Now my first thought was to have my hackers delete your social media accounts, but then my bro would no doubt be upset with me. Probably end up liking you more just to spite me. You know how stupid and emotional he can be. But I know you, I know how your kind think. So I will give you $1,200 if you walk out of this door and leave our lives forever. Don't talk to my bro, don't call him, block him on-line. Make it like you never existed. Find somewhere else to live, marry some bartender and pick up litter for the scouts, I don't give a fuck. Just stay away from my bro. He'll be upset for a little while, then he'll find a girl who actually has cajones and quickly forget all about you, just like I intend to. Do you understand?

Imagine caring so much about somebody that youre not even with anymore to end a friendship.

what other arbitrary rules do you make your friends follow for you to be friends with them?

so if your best friend immediately hooked up with your ex-fianc a mere day after you two called the engagement off, you wouldn't care at all?

Bruh. There is nothing arbitrary about this. Romantic relationships are the most personal relationships that exist. They're intimate, sexual, emotional, and deep--at least, mine have been.

I can only think of two reasons why you'd be so nonchalant about this:

1.) You've never been in a truly deep, intimate relationship with a romantic partner you truly loved

or

2.) You don't have a best friend who means more to you than any other friend, whom you trust and respect like family

The difference here is, as I said, dishonesty matters. Context matters.

If Im engaged, and we call off our engagement and break up, she is free to do whatever she wants. I am free to do whatever I want. My friends are free to do whatever they want.

Would I be sad about us breaking up? Probably. Would I end a friendship over this? Not if nobody was dishonest about anything.

So because I have a different view on things and different priorities in life, I have never been in love or have never had a best friend?

Maybe youre just insecure.

I'd imagine that would be real awkward for him because my ex and I were together back when my best friend had his daughter. So his daughter spent years calling us uncle and auntie. So from his daughter's perspective, her dad would now be dating her auntie

Beyond that though, I wouldn't be mad or anything. I'd just call him a dumbass, because he knows we broke up after she cheated on me and lied about cutting ties with the guy (she hung out with him in secret and totaled her car on the way to drop him off at his house... Karma lol).

But I know he would never actually try to date my ex and I wouldn't try to date his ex either (especially because he still wants her back).

Because I feel like people should do whatever makes them happy. And what makes other people happy shouldnt make me unhappy.

I dont own anybody, and I would never try and stand in the way of somebodys happiness. I respect my friends and my relationships enough to understand that relationships and feelings are funny things that can sometimes not be controlled.

I also dont think that everything needs to be taken so seriously. Sometimes two people make love and it means more to them than anything they have ever experienced before, and six months later they hate eachother. And sometimes two people fuck and its fun and then the next day it doesnt mean anything.

I dont assume to know who you are based on your opinions of this. I dont know you at all. Quit trying to pretend like you know anything about me because my opinion differs from yours.

or dont, whatever makes you happy is fine with me.
