Dating a Friend’s Ex: The question remains - is it ever OK to date a friends ex? Yes, it is OK. When you move out of a home, you no longer hold the key to the house. Regardless of what memories you have invested in that home, anyone, including your friend, is allowed to purchase and move in. The same holds true for relationships. Exes are fair game. Once it’s been decided to move on, you are officially releasing that person out into the world. Having a sense of entitlement to an ex is like getting fired from a job and still expecting pay! The eligibility pool is dwindling, so dating a friend’s ex may be closer to reality than you think. Sometimes life is simply about ration versus emotion, and you can’t solely live life according to feelings – you have to live life according to truth. If you’ve moved on, but have harbored feelings for an ex, take that up with God, not your friend interested in dating him. When you deal with the real issue of personal insecurities and truly letting go, you’ll be able to see your friend with an ex, smile and move on with no further thought. If it’s a recent breakup, or was a serious relationship, the wounds might take longer to heal, but the fact is they must heal. When you let go of something, someone is liable to pick it up – and that someone just might be a friend. If you’re the one deciding to date your friend’s ex, absolutely approach her about it before making a decision. If you’ve decided you’re going to go for it, understand you’re taking a risk whether she consents or not. You must determine if the risk is worth it. Also, try your best to ensure that the ex isn’t only interested in dating you simply to spite your friend and stir up drama. If your friend asks your permission to date your ex, it’s up to you to be truthful with yourself and her. You have no right to be upset if she asked and you stated you don’t care. On the contrary, if she does mind, it would be commendable for you to honor her feelings. Sacrificing your own free will for the love of another is the greatest act of love. Recycling is rewarded in most environments, but sometimes going green isn’t the healthiest option. #Crown #GENTLEWOMAN is available NOW -> amzn.to/1nVGTlI.
