  • There's a good reason that your friend and the guy are exes. When you CHOOSE to date that guy, you are basically saying to your friend, "I don't care one bit about your reasons or feelings. I just want the guy no matter what." In short, you can keep your friend, or go after her ex - but not both. Choose wisely.
  • My friend would be hurt if I dated her X. Because she is my friend, and I care about her & her feelings, I don't do things I know will hurt her. If I do, I'm not only not a friend, I'm a snake, because I acted like a friend to her face, and then stab her when she turned her back!
  • because its you friends ex! find your own person instead of hanging around and picking up your friends leftovers! its disrespectful of your friendship and just a bit pathetic....
  • Out of respect for a friendship,people wouldn't date another's ex.
  • I don't consider it betrayal at all unless you promised you wouldn't date him or her. (For the people who disagree with me, please don't hate me).
  • Its not betrayal to date your best friends ex. Why should u ignore a human just because its your best friends ex? I mean your bestmate will expect you to behave well with their boyfrd/grlfrd when they are in relationship and to ignore them when they are not in relationship anymore. Its bcoz your frd appreciate if you behave well with them and you will expect the same. So why should you change your attitude towards them just b'coz they are no more your frds partner. Why your friends ex should be ur exfriend? I think in this situation the reason behind the break-up should be known completely and preference should be given to the right side no matter if its your frds fault he/she should be aware. Ther is no harm or so called "betrayal" if you are dating the right person. RIGHT here I mean ethical/honest/kind/MORAL.
  • We real people don't live the life of celebrities... THANK GOD! What celebs do have nothing to do with what others do. You do not have to be in the situation to understand. If you wish to date someone's ex, count on losing the friendship. Regardless of whether she says she will not have hard feelings, she will! It's her ex because there were some relationship problems. Adopting those problems into your life is just not smart. If you believe it was her that was at the root of the problems, perhaps rethinking the friendship is in order. Otherwise, there are millions of men out there. Find one else!!!
  • I don't know if I would consider it betrayal but it is in bad taste. I broke up with a girl and my best friend at the time started dating her. I alsmost think she persued him so she could make me jealous or whatever. But anyways they dated and so evertime he came over to hang out she was with him..talk about uncomfortable! The last thing I wanted to do was still have to hang out with someone I was obviously not getting along with and broke up with. I think between best friends, ex girlfriends should be off limits.
  • I don't think it is a betrayal, but it sure is awkward. You best friend may feel that one of the other of you may give away confidences that weren't meant for the other to know. Social situations may make your friendship difficult to continue, so your best friend may feel as though you've abandoned him/her.
