Breaking “The Code”: Is It Ever Okay To Date Your Friend’s Ex?

9. What About Your “Circle?”

Even if your girlfriend gives you permission to date her ex, your other mutual friends may not be as understanding. They may give you the side eye and label you a man-stealing, backstabbing wench – and will probably make sure that you are NEVER alone with any of their boyfriends. If this is the case, you may have to do some damage control before you ease him (back) into the circle and go public with your relationship. Not everyone will be cool with it, especially if they feel you have ulterior motives or always wanted him behind your friend’s back. Be prepared to take the backlash that will be coming your way and make sure your man is willing to take the heat with you.  It may take them some time to see that you and her ex really DO have a connection and make a great couple, so just weather the storm or stay away from the naysayers for a while until everyone is on board. Like I said before, hopefully you made sure that he’s worth all this drama, because a real friend would never break “The Code” unless he’s really, truly The One.
