Will the fact that I am dating his ex ruin our friendship?

Question - (10 April 2011) 4 Answers - (Newest, 12 April 2011)
A male South Africa age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi, okay, I am stuck in a love triangle with my best friend's ex.. They were together for about 2 years, and half of that time we secretly had a crush on one another. Now that they have broken up(only recently) we have completely fallen in love. It is beyond the point of stopping it as we have already kissed and hold each other whenever we can.

The only problem is I don't know what my friend will say about this. The other friends in our group all say it has been coming a long time and we should go for it. My best friend and I have been friends for 7 years now. I want to be with his ex so bad but I don't know what to tell him?

When u lower your standards so early in life it sets the scene for more drama to come.

There is a golden rule that friends/family should not betray each other.

But each his/her own.

Good luck- you are going to need it. I hope she is worth the broken code.

Personally, I think u are making a mistake bec if she could go from one man to the next without any qualms then there is a bigger problem.

(Your friends used goods will always be an issue even though u do not want to admit it. And I think in the long run you will discover this )

Thanks for your feed back. @ LoveGirl the "Harsh question" you asked, well, I'm okay with it, for some strange reason. As this would usually be a complete turnoff for me. Thanks for the advice, I have decided to just tell him straight off and hope for the best. :D

your best friend will think that you betrayed him and that you are a back stabber.

i hope this girl is worth throwing your friendship away.

One harsh question: how do YOU feel taking your friends sloppy seconds?

there is no easy way to tell him but you better tell him before he finds out. but whichever way he finds out, it will still stab him in the heart.

so think about it.
