[quote name='dmaul1114']I wouldn't date one of my friends ex's as I don't want to hurt my friendship with him. It has nothing to do with his ownership of his ex or sexism. Just protecting a friendship.
I wouldn't want my friend dating one of my exes, mainly because I don't want to have to be around my exes. Not out of any possessiveness. Thus it just adds a strain on friendships.
And friendships can last for ever, relationships are much harder to maintain. Especially when you don't want kids and don't give a crap about getting married.[/QUOTE]
Then say this. It's a whole other thing from "no reason to risk a friendship over some pussy."
But that's your opinion. Treat it like that.
Serious relationships? Causal ones? All of them? It's complex. I don't think I'd date someone who a close friend was engaged to, for instance, but I wouldn't write it off completely.
Forgive me if my perspective is that a woman (one I'd date were I not already married, at any rate) is a grown adult who's capable of making mature decisions on their own. I'm a grown adult. Ain't nobody's business what grown adults do.
I still see a lot of my exes from time to time. Sometimes dating friends, sometimes not. Let them. They're not under my control or jurisdiction. They're grown ups that get to make their own decisions, and I'm mature enough that, if I see Bob and Samantha making out at the punk club, I'm not going to go home and cry myself to sleep and listen to The Smiths. Good for them.
Let me put it this way: I'm not a baby, so I don't get jealous.
