Is it worth it to date a friend’s ex?
The reason the two broke up in the first place is because it did not work out. And if they’re not compatible with your friend, there’s a chance that they won’t be compatible with you. I always wonder should the person still be friends with their friend’s ex. Friends can lead to other things and that’s not where a true friend would want to cross. After a lot of consideration, I decided not to really talk to a friend’s ex-boyfriend because it might bother her eventhough she seemed like she was ok with it. It’s something that I wouldn’t want to happen to me so I don’t want to be hypocritical. I still feel uneasy that my friend is still talking to my ex even if it’s just as friends. Exes or old flings are off limits to close friends.
However, if the situation were to occur, then do we just learn to bite our tongue and get over it? Or does that lose all trust and the friendship is out the window. I know that if a friend were to date an ex, it would hurt me terribly because the trust is gone. This person was supposed to be my confidant. Instead, after listening to my sob stories, they decided to make it worse. They were the person that I went to when things were not going smoothly. Now they’re using all that they know against me. With these kinds of friends, I’m not sure if it’s worth sticking around for. How can a person trust this person in the future? I just hope that I never have to experience this.
If we were to forgive, can we fully forgive? Can the hatchet be buried fully? How can a person forgive so easily? Is it because he just does not give a shit? It’s not even my situation and I’m still bothered by it.
