Question - (29 April 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 30 April 2010)
A female Ireland age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend broke up with me about a month ago and he has moved on with another girl already.

The thing is i now have developed feelings for one of his Bestfriends. I have known him all my life and we have some history. I'm not trying to get back at my ex because thats just cruel.

I was thinking that it shouldnt matter to my ex bacause he's moved on and no longer has feelings for me . But is it ok to start seeing his friend??

KaileyLove agony auntBabe, I say go for it!

'Cause it's time to move on, and if you want to date your ex's friend then, by all means, do it.

If he questions if it's revenge, simply explain the situation. Other then that, he shouldn't really matter on this.

It's your choice. Not his. :)

A male reader, anonymous, writes (29 April 2010):

If this guy has any respect for his friend, i.e., your ex, he will decline any relationship with you. Whether you intend it to be 'payback' or not, that is certainly what it will look like. Unless you and your ex are very comfortable around each other, then perhaps this would not be an issue. I just have one question for you: How would you feel if you suddenly learned that he started dating your best friend? I presume you would not be too happy. I would simply let it go and move on to someone who is not as close to your ex.

you and your boyfriend broke up, so who you see now is really non of his business! especially given that he left you. if he doesn't want to be with you then he shouldn't care who is, so i'd just go for it.

my boyfriend is one of my ex's best friends. i was with my ex for over 3 years. while he found it a little odd at first, he realised that after we broke up, he had an claim to me and i was there for the taking. we all still get on well.
