Is it o.k. to Marry your Friends Ex?

I know a lady who has been married for nine years to a man who was divorced from one of her college friends, and they are all STILL really good friends. I think the key here is just maturity and in being honest with each other. Marrying your friend's ex does not HAVE to be a betrayal; but if your friend will perceive it that way, then you do have to pick which one of them is more important to you.

wow that is a hard question. On one hand she let him go on the other she is your friend and how would she feel. I would be open and ask her how she would feel. That way if she says yes and then later doesn't like it she can't really object because she told you it was ok. If she says no then you have to decided how important her friendship is. If it were my friend I would have to wonder why they broke up. Friends are usually a like in many ways so what ever happened in her relationship with him would in happen in yours? A tough call but being open and honest about it with your friend may be the best answer you could receive. Good luck!

It depends. If the guy and my friend parted ways a long time ago and my friend is not in love with him anymore and they had a good parting, then I guess I would date my friend's ex-boyfriend and probably marry him. But if dating her ex would upset a good friend of mine, then I would not date the guy. If the guy is really serious with me anyway, he would talk to my friend and make my friend understand our situation. If one of my friends date and marry one of my ex-boyfriends, I would not mind at all. I had a nice parting with each of my ex-boyfriends. And most important of all, I am already very happy with my current boyfriend, so if my friend and ex-boyfriend are happy together, then I would be happy for them too. :)

no is is not a good idea to marry our friends ex

not all but if you ask me i would rather not to marry my friends x it's a very difficult situation for me. ilove my friends more than i love my bf

I dont mean to be harsh but, people do it all the time... so why not? sometimes they dont even wait for you to get seperated with your partner before they steal your partner from you. Besides i dont see anything wrong with this, your friend has been seperated from his ex and as you have mentioned for quite a while. But just to make sure, i would talk to my friend first and ask whats the real deal between him and his ex, if he still loves the girl- but i know that girl is now in love with me and does want to marry me, i would tell my friend about it. And hopefully ask for his blessing, if he tells me he will need more time to recuperate- i will give him the time he needs because he is my friend and i know he has been through a lot.

I would never dresm of doing nothing like that. I don't care if my friend and the other person split up for sometime. I wouldn't do it, I makes you wonder.

I wouldn't do it. I think if you want to keep your friendship then you shouldn't do this. It would probably really make your friend mad at you if you did.

in this situation that i will be marrying my friend's ex , for the beginning of the courtship & relationship i would have confronted or clarify issues to my friend before going into the much intimate relationship as to going up to the point that we will be marrying. for this time all matters be cleared already to each & everyone of us that he & my friend have nothing to be intimadated or any upsetting situation with each other in time that we can be all together on occasions that call for us . make everything clear for friendship sake & won't sacrifice your happiness too!

if you love him/her try to let your friend understand especially if they broke up for reason that you can handle or does not contain

i believe its ok and not breaking any rule as long as you really love each other....coz if ur friend does love you too, he/she would understand, ayt?..

i don't see any wrong in marrying ur friend's ex.. As long as you followed your happiness. their relationship is a past thing.. they may be not that compatible enough why the lost each other... Your friend will definitely understands you about that.. He/she must be thankful that her his ex is in ur good side... She won't be upset unless she dont treat you as a friend. Believe it will be ok...

Well this is a hard question.Actually speaking your friends spouse is of a sisterly relation yo u.But when they have broken up that is no longer valid and if your love is true for her/him it doesn't matter.

this is a very good, yet tricky question. there are a lot of factors with this situation. should you DATE a friend's ex (bf or gf)??? NO. this is part of the code. you don't date your ex's anything. now, marriage means more than dating and so the situation gets more serious. no one should keep two people from marrying, except that how do they know they should marry without dating and they shouldn't have done that in the first place! also, the friend's feelings need to come into play. if they are going to be upset about it, then you shouldn't, but if it's truly meant to be with that person, then maybe you should get married anyway and lose the friend. anyway you cut it, it's a tricky situation and someone is most likely going to get hurt. people should stay away from their friend's exes, unless they are willing to lose their friend for a chance with that other person..... take care.

Love is love!! My boyfriend and I are on very good terms with our own exes, and eachother's! If a friend of ours decided to marry one of our exes, we'd hope that their union would work out better than ours did with that person, and since we are friends with all of our exes anyway, it wouldn't matter to us. It would work out quite well for all involved.

for me it is a good question...mmm. for me it is depend on the person itself. but waht is important tell your friend not other people to tell them... at least we seem to be honest with them...it is ocay as long they are not engaged yet...

Nothign wrong. But after marriage, forget about the past and start a new life. Life is all about forgetting and forgiving. Come on, do it.
