these are situations in which one should jerk off and then re-evaluate the question.

Upvoted solely for your Billy Madison reference. Dick move to date a best friend's ex.

Dating your best friends ex shouldn't even come up in your mind, let alone you actually doing. If that's the case, then you and your friend must not be much of friends or you really hate each other. That's the only other reason I can think of.

Dating? No. Awful. Violates every man rule there is.

Smashing given his permission? That's between y'all. I've passed on a few to my friends
I personally couldn't smash my friends' exes. Just because they're all the "I wanna be on social media 24/7" type. Screw that

Ask the friend, not the OT.

This explains a lot as to why you even asked the question.

Ive always argued this theory.

What if they dated for a year in college?
What if, the two of you would eventually get married, have kids, etc?

Why does his, basically meaningless relationship, take precedent over your life-changing one because he got there first?

In no way is this ok. This sounds like a trashy trailer park type thing

Definitely no then





I think of this from the other perspective as everyone else, but I get the same answer. The answer is no, but not because I care about the friend. Just think if you went on to marry that person then you would have to live knowing your best friend banged your wife. Not worth it.

How long were they together.


It's natural for a friend to like a friend's SO, because they probably share the same qualities in women. Additionally, it's natural for a SO to like the best friend because of the added bonus of having the current SO as a friend.

2 is better than 1.

If you value your friendship, don't do it. I was young and didn't have much experience with relationships. I asked my friend if he had a problem with it and he told me no. It had been 2 years since they dated, he was with another chick that was on the same level looks wise so I went for it. 4 months in when she had showed me stuff I had never heard of before, friend decided I needed to choose and I chose her. Still regret it to this day.

When my friend needed a place to say, they let him move in the spare bedroom.


Well hell, might as well just have a regular threesome and explain to the kid that this is normal behavior.

I am the friend referenced in the OP and what he failed to clarify is that I haven't spoken to this guy in at least 5 years (not for lack of trying), we were high school friends then grew apart after I moved out from living with them. Also he is seeing someone else currently.

What's the statute of limitations? Even though I have no connection to him currently whatsoever, I can't pursue this woman because we were friends 8 years ago? Maybe my moral compass is shot but I don't see an issue with this

Yeah in high school we were inseparable but as I said it's been at least 5 years, most likely more than we've spoken. Our growing apart was amiable, it just happens, we didn't have a falling out or anything
