Yeah - he's her ex for a reason, which could mean he's abusive, a cheater or someone you otherwise wouldn't want your friend exposed to. You can't tell her to get over it without knowing the situation.

It's one thing for your ex to date your friend, it's another thing for your friend to be complaining to you about him. Unless her friend had no idea it was her ex that sort of thing is kinda tasteless, she's dealt with her problems with him, she shouldn't have to deal with her friend's.

maybe op is mad because her ex is going to be around her again if her friend brings him with her

Maybe they just didn't work well together as a couple. Just because he's her ex doesn't mean he's abusive, a cheater, etc.

Go easy on op. Either way it's an fml because it's her friend who is dating him. And she's most likely going to have to see him.

You'd think the friend wouldn't date the guy if he was too terrible, though it also makes them pretty ridiculous for complaining about something op probably complained to them about.

#23 No assumption was made, I just suggested a reason why this really might be an FML situation and not just OP needing to "get over it"

Or, or, or, now just hear me out on this one. They had differences and broke up but are still nice people.

Rules might be different for females but the man code clearly states that you don't date friends exes.

"Get over it?" You don't seem to be picking up on the fact OP"s "friend" is going out with her ex! That's just wrong. Real friends respect each other enough not to do something like that!

I don't get how it's disrespectful to date someone's ex? I agree they probably should've talked to op first and see her thoughts, but if you believe that you can't choose who you love why would you throw a fit if your friends falls for your ex? It might be uncomfortable and hard at first, but wouldn't you want your friend to be happy?

Yes but if he's now dating her friend then he's not out of her life is he?

im sure ops "friend" would know what ops ex is like since friends normally share alot about their lives and relationships with another. sounds like the friend knew what she was in for when she started dating him

that will be her next target.
