Dear Jade, I'm falling for my friend's ex-husband. They have been legally divorced for a year now, and she is now with someone else. However, I feel like dating a friend's ex is a no-no, especially an ex husband. But I really like him and I think he is into me. We accidentally ran into each at a bar one night, and we chatted the whole night. I do have a feeling that he will call me, but I'm not sure what I should do. So what should I do? -Marianne HE SAID: Like your friend, divorced people date too. The issue is that the guy you are interested in is your friendŐs ex-husband. The challenge is how you would approach your friend to let her know of your interest. Naturally, if the divorce was due to irreconcilable differences, the situation would be a bit easier to handle and you should be able to talk to her about it. On the other hand, for obvious reasons, if the divorce was because of infidelity, you need to approach your girlfriend with more care. The hope is that the divorce was mutual and amicable. In such an event, do what comes naturally. |

SHE SAID: There are plenty of guys around. Do you really need to go after your friend's ex? I'm not sure it's a good idea because this potential relationship will start out with a baggage, unless you are willing to lose a friend over it. I suggest you find someone else, or at least give it another 6 months or more so that your friend might be completely okay with it. BUT MAMA SAID: I think the fact that you say that it is your friend's ex-husband means that you are still friends with her at this point. If that is the case, then you should consider her feelings before moving forward. Speak with her about your feelings towards her ex and see what she thinks. She may have moved on and could care less. Or she may be bothered by the idea. You'll then have to decide if the friendship is more important than the relationship possibility if she tells you she's against the idea. |
