Basically two of my friends have fallen out over a first world problem. Friend A recently split up with his girlfriend and now, despite Friend A's protests, Friend B goes out with her. A keeps saying that B has no respect for him and doesn't respect the 'bro code' whcih apparently states that you can't go out with a friend's ex without consent . B says he can go out with who he wants.
Who's right? I'm more inclined to agree with B. A shouldnt have the final say, he doesnt have anything to do with her anymore. And the 'bro code' can go to hell, just a load of bullshit made up by some totally radical teens, man.
Also there may even be a fight *facepalm* over this. Do you think I should split it up or let the, batter each other?

1 RespuestaA is oh so right. How would you feel if your now Ex would date one of your friends? It would always be akward, no matter how you deal with it. Friends don't do that to other friends >:(
-
B, A split with her therefore who she goes out with is none of his business.
-
1 RespuestaKind of a tricky situation. Honestly I don't think it's fair for someone to forbid a friend from going out with someone who they don't go out with anymore. Then again, I would hate seeing one of my friends with the current person I'm with, if we ever broke up, but the fact is, I would have no control over what that person done anymore because we wouldn't be dating. If my friend really wanted to date them, who am I to say no? It may be hard to see, but it's a sacrifice one should make for a good friend I think.

I remember junior high...

Oh my sides...that tag...
-
I would never date a close friend's ex. It just is not honorable.
-
Sounds like A is jelly and isn't over her...
-
Friend A seems to be forgetting the most important part of the Bro Code. As section 43.12 clearly states: "Thou shalt not be a whiny jerk to thy bro." It's right there in the code, lads. Did anyone actually read it?
-
Sounds like you've got some shit friends.
-
I think it would depend on who broke up with who. If A broke up with her, then I'd say B can do whatever and A shouldn't be upset. If she broke up with A, then it's definitely not friendly of B to pursue her. B is basically displaying that he values her over him.

1 RespuestaA has no say in what she or B does. He broke up with her. If he is pissed at B, then he can be pissed at B, but that's on him. There is no such thing as a 'bro code'. That's just stupid.
-
1 RespuestaDefinitely B. A has no jurisdiction over his ex, not that he ever had any in the first place. It is of no right for him to decide over who she wants to go out with.
-
1 RespuestaA forfeited his "right" to the girlfriend when they broke up in earnest, B is simply acting upon his ability to now fairly date the Ex of of A. B is correct, and A is being a crybaby.

4 RespuestasEditado por Spinage: 6/20/2013 4:23:53 PMDepends, did A break up with her? Or did she break up with A? IF A broke it off, i say she's fair game. If she broke it off, A might still have feelings, which I say B is in the wrong. If She broke it off with A, imo B should have waited some time. I dont agree that they need to ask permission tho. Thats dumb. Better yet OP. You should bang her. Might as well give her the Trifector.
-
B is right, but he should have respected A's relationship by waiting at least 2 weeks. Also there is no need to fight, A let her go. His mistake and now he has to live with it.
-
4 RespuestasI would say that B is an asshole for thinking just for himself and not others.
-
Well, it is a bit disrespectful for B to want to go out with her after splitting up so quickly.

If you're really someone's friend you won't date their ex if they aren't happy for you to do so.
