Children shouldn't date. That should be the end of it.

Oh looks like I missed this one... sorry dude. Hope you’re doing alright

How old are the people involved, generally? (Mid/late teens, early twenties, etc. I dont need an exact age of everyone.) There are two main things I'd reccomend, possibly more depending on your age group. 1- Once two people break up, it's over. It doesn't mean that the feelings between the two people stop, but any sort of relationship obligation is nonexistent. If one of them finds someone new, then that's just how it goes, and the ex may be jealous or upset, but that's on them. When an ex is jealous or upset over the other person finding someone new it usually stems from personal ego. The feeling that the other person should be sad over the breakup, the feeling that "I'm better than them, so it should be way easier for me to move on and be happy." If the person who is "dumped" moves on first, it's even more likely that this is the case. Both exes could end up being the A-hole if the dumper broke up with the other person to teach them a lesson, or to be manipulative, thinking that they would be devastated and do anything to get them back. The dumped person would be an A-hole if the only reason they are with a new person is to hurt their ex. One, both, or neither of these may be true in this sitiation. If either person is the A-hole, it is appropriate to point out their behavior and to do so in a private conversation that helps frame their current actions in the proper perspective. The reason that they are lashing out at an ex, is because they are hurt, so pointing out that what they are doing just to get back at their ex, when done correctly, helps them move forward and start acting in a way that is more productive for themselves, instead of making decisions based on how they think their ex will react. 2- The opinions of anyone besides the two people who were in the relationship are not important in any way. Anyone who is friends with either of them should be there as a friend to help them deal with the hurt caused by the breakup, and part of being a good friend in this situation is to help them move on from thinking or caring what their ex does. As opposed to constantly analyzing what their ex is doing, talking about their opinion of the exe's actions, and causing the person who was on the relationship to get stuck in a cycle of rumination that perpetuates the emotional pain. So by your friend group arguing woth each other, they are perpetuating the emotional pain of both parties, and making it impossible for either person to move on. If anyone knows that either person has acted immorally and then decides that they no longer wish to be friends with them, that's fine. Yes it sucks to have friends that are no longer friends, and to have the dynamic of a friend group change like that, but I'd reccomend not trying to change anyone's opinion about things like that. You can support each friend, and possibly try to help a bridge of communication to repair the freindship, but give it some time. So with all of this on mind, I would ultimately reccomend pointing out to your friend group that both exes are hurting, and need to move on and heal. Each is obviously doing it in a different way, but by arguing about it with each other, they are prolonging the pain of both. Try not to take a side, and just tell your friends that the couple was in a relationship and you won't know all the details, so you are going to try and just be a friend to each, and help them move on. Ask your friends to do the same. Yeah, if there is a social event and both show up it will be awkward. Maybe the ex couple won't go to an event if they know the other will be there. That sucks, for sure, but everyone needs to respect that the ex couple needs some space for a bit. I wish you the best, good luck.

You all need to stay out of their business. By arguing, especially in front of them, you're only making things worse. Also, you're 15. Relationships at 15 basically mean nothing.

Ugh, teenagers

Tell them that’s what happens when you get dumped and to quit bitching about it

How old are you/friends?

This is why you kids shouldn’t be dating or getting girlfriends till you are at least 18. None of you are mature enough to handle it and it just ends up as unwanted drama most of the time

[quote]after the girl dumped him,[/quote] Haters gonna hate, beggars gonna choose, unavoidable as death and taxation. All will be old news next week.

Buy him a fleshlight and tell him to focus on school and wait until the girls are old enough to not need all that damn drama.

If it were me I would have waited longer, but I certainly don't know the dynamic. I don't think your friends should judge him for something that's one: not their business; and two: varies so much from couple to couple

Who cares what they think, he can do whatever he wants

Bump for help

Who cares?

Well it seems kinda like d d*ck move to me. I'd at least wait like a month or two first

It seems to me that your friends like drama, "disbanding" or parting ways for something so minor is absolutely ridiculous Get new friends :)

Is he a “stud?” Did he do it to spite his ex? Does he care about his new girl? Etc.
