Really all I can say is get over it. Not meaning it in a mean way but he's your EX for reason. He can date who he wants just as you can. Fyl at the same time tho since your being seeing him.

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

#14- Wow, you are making a LOT of big assumptions about OP's ex purely because they aren't dating anymore. The FML gives you no reason to believe the ex is a horrible person. Ex only means that they are no longer romantically involved, and NOTHING more. For one, people /can/ break things off with their ex without it being for the reason of abuse or cheating. There are plenty of possibilities. And secondly, if OP's friend was complaining about their boyfriend's horrible habits that sounded like situations OP knew the danger of (like possible cheating/abuse), then I really doubt OP would've made a playful comment in place of showing legitimate concern.

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?

oh gosh

Well, he is your ex for a reason! Good luck to her, you are still better off.

Well, they do say, "another person's trash is another person's treasure."

*One person. But well, I know it hurts OP, but if your friend really gets along with him and they're perfect together, just (pretend to) be happy for them. Cause really, the I can't date my best friend's boyfriend cause that'd be betraying her is getting old. Well, this might even help you move on faster, seeing he's already done so. Although if he cheated on you causing your breakup, that'd be an absolutely different matter, in which case, bash both their brains.

And that is when a joke should stay just that. A joke.

Sharing is caring?

Well, he is your ex
So he is out of your life
It seems to me it's more of an FML for your friend if your ex is that bad

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

I doubt he's actually interested in your friend. I've seen this game before. Just ignore it, your friend will find out soon enough.

Well time to be civil- hide in the closet whenever he's around

Warn her of how he is Op! Hopefully she won't get heartbroken

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
