Let’s try to answer a widely pondered question!

‘Is it ALL RIGHT to date your friend’s ex?’

Why should I be left out of this discussion, I reasoned, after reading the many viewpoints that have been expressed on this subject over the years?

So, let’s start talking about the subject of this article!

Most of us have either experienced relationships that didn’t work out for us or had others go through similar circumstances.

If our friends are faithful to us, they will always have our backs in these circumstances and provide us with the support we require.

But have you ever witnessed circumstances in which many people’s friends wind up dating their ex-partners?

If not, let me assure you that it does occur fairly frequently.

But is doing so morally right?

Never in a million years, in my opinion.

Can you picture having friends that are akin to snakes and who genuinely want to attempt to work things out for a relationship with your ex?

If you’ve done something similar in the past, what was said above also applies to you.

What sort of friend are you, or, if you have a friend who did that, are you certain they are truly your friend, if you believe it is NORMAL and OKAY to be with someone your friend couldn’t make it work with?

Even if they appear to be “PERFECT” in your eyes, they are still your friend’s ex.

Maybe this would make sense if it were some random stranger you had never met.

Knowing that you are dating your friend’s ex, how could you possibly even stand in front of them?

This is beyond disgusting!

Don’t even try to contradict this in any manner!

I’ve seen a lot of individuals express happiness for friends who got along with their ex-partners even when they couldn’t.

How?

It’s the same as your friend’s partner sleeping with you while they’re in a committed relationship or cheating on them.

I would advise you all to thoroughly check on your friends’ social circles to ensure that your company is appropriate and that the likelihood of seeing anything similar is ZERO.

I sincerely hope that such a cult does not become commonplace among young people in our generation.
