Would you date your friend's ex husband or ex wife?

Or are friends' exes always off limits?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I would never knowingly start a relationship with an ex-husband of one of my friends.

First of all, there's a reason your friend is no longer with that person and regardless of the reason, there will almost always be animosity between them.

Second of all, the rules of lifelong friendship, except under extremely rare circumstances, make something like this impossible if you want to continue your friendship with your friend.

Third, it's kinda gross to think about the fact that fact that you'd be sleeping with the same person your friend slept with for however many years! I love my friends, but I don't ever want to sleep with anyone they've been with! And if I ever have by chance, I don't want to know about it! Because when you sleep with someone, you essentially sleep with everyone they've ever slept with, at least in the eyes of health officials.

I suppose one could never say never, although up to this stage in my life I have never done such a thing.

I can't see myself ever doing it. It would seem like such a violation of the closeness of the bonds of friendship.

I suppose the specific circumstances would dictate the propriety of it, for that I reason I can't criticize anyone who may have done such form of dating.

How good of friends am I with this person?
How long have they been divorced?
Are they still hung up on the ex?

If I'm not great friends with them, then no problem. if we're good friends we need to move to question 2

I would say anything under 3 years is weird. If they've been divorced longer than 3 years, move to question 3

If they ARE still hung up, then NO. If they aren't then I'd ask, but I'd only do it with their blessing.

I can't say I haven't done it...

I can't say that the friendship remains....

I would never date a friends ex...as I would hope they wouldn't do that to me...it makes thing awkward and the friendship isn't the same...

When you date someone the relationship is very personal and no matter what, when a couple breaks up both feel hurt. A friend dating your ex is for many people showing that they don’t care about how you feel, the person feel betrayed. A relationship that is long over may not be any issue at all but especially ex wives or husbands and newly broken up couples are a big no no

For me double date would do, you and your husband/wife and your friend's husband/wife because it's unethical if you would date your friend's husband/wife and for your safety also. As we all know rumors are as fast as a blink of an eye. Though you have a good reason for dating your friend's husband/wife but the fact is you two are married to your spouses. If you do that, just think it twice fellow! I’m sure you know already what the consequences are.
