I say let him talk to her but if he touches her he has broken bro code. He loses his man card and is to be shunned by all of us.

Edited by Masque of Night: 3/5/2015 5:17:57 AMDo people seriously follow that "bro code" stuff? I always figured (or at least hoped) it was a joke.

I do and so do most of my friends. The 2 guys that don't are actually married to one another.[spoiler]true story[/spoiler]

Edited by Masque of Night: 3/5/2015 5:27:19 AMBut doesn't that way of thinking come off as at least a little bit...immature, I suppose? If a relationship is over, the ties are severed, and a sensible person should realize that the "ex" is free to date who they choose. If it happens to be a friend of yours, it doesn't seem fair to prevent what could be a happy relationship simply because that girl used to be "yours". It just comes off as primitive and petty to me, no offense intended. My apologies if anything i've said comes off that way.
-
Isn't your supposed best friend, in a way, "yours" as well?
-
Edited by Masque of Night: 3/5/2015 5:43:56 AMIn a way, but I don't see friendships like that, because friendships aren't normally "exclusive" relationships like a romantic interest normally is. For instance, my friendship with my best friend shouldn't affect the possible relationships he can enter into. If he's into an ex of mine, assuming said ex is single, he has the freedom to pursue her if he's interested. The relationship that I once had with her is no longer existent by this point, and therefore is also no longer relevant to the situation. Once a relationship ends, the boundaries are removed. That's how I see it, anyway.
-
"Free will", too bad there isn't an absolute opinion on this.
-
Edited by Masque of Night: 3/5/2015 5:47:36 AMThe only absolutes are the ones we impose upon ourselves, my friend. Even the most empirical of matters are still just perceptions, and any perception can be flawed. Besides, without free will this world would be terribly dull.
-
Dull, but not as much pain in the world as there is now or has accumulated. Then again, you're the one giving selfless advice which I could have never come up with.

Don't sell yourself short, Pixe. You're only as capable as you allow yourself to be, and I think you're more than capable of doing the same. As for the former matter, you are considering a question debated for as long as humans have had the freedom to think. To make an ideal world is to create balance, of free will, and of security. That's how I see it myself, others may disagree.
-
No offense taken you just don't touch another man's ex-girlfriend. It's just not cool. You should always have your friends back in any situation so the chicks just damaged goods.
-
That's the thing, though. EX-girlfriend, meaning not your girlfriend anymore. If someone is an ex, you should be over it, and everything should be good. A person is a person just the same whether you've dated them or not, so to refer to someone as "damaged goods" is just reflecting on what I already said, a primitive and petty system. Once a relationship is over, the ties are severed, and they should have no authority on the possible relationships to be made at some point in the future.
-
You just don't do it. It could damage your friendship, and would you really want to do that? Maybe you and your friend knew one another from childhood. Do you really want to throw that away? Now if your best friend comes to you and asked permission then by all means you have a right to say yes or no and if you say yes then you have to bite your tongue.
-
If everyone handles the matter maturely, there's no damage to be done. The conflict primarily occurs when emotions from the past relationship resurface and cause issue. If both parties were willing to let one another go upon the separation, this theoretically shouldn't happen, and everything would be fine unless someone were intent on causing trouble, in which case they would be a toxic influence regardless of their status. My point is, a damaged friendship, in this scenario, comes from friends who don't know how to properly work out a situation and end up letting their personal ties get the best of them instead of focusing on the bigger picture and handling matters maturely. They have only themselves to blame for that.
-
And your friend could be anyone... Father perhaps? Yeah I wouldn't want my father to bang and marry my ex. Selfish? Yes, but I little selfish for the father no?
-
I doubt that will ever happen, the guy barely steps outside. Things always change for the right person though.
-
I'm sure you'll find another one the best way to get over a girl is to climb on top of another girl.
-
Hahaha! Thanks for the uplift bro!
