Your best friend sleeps with your ex...

What would you do? I'm not entirely certain how I should be acting right now. Me and my ex spent a good long time together, almost three years which is a fair bit considering our age. And now my best mate has slept with her and I honestly don't know what I should be feeling.

I watched this episode of How I Met Your Mother, and there was a Bro Law( Not to be confused with Man Laws) that states, " Thou shalt not sleep with your bro's ex".




Personally, I feel it's not right. The awkwardness could kill.

Total BS. But then again, I don't know what you could do about it. I'm assuming after 3 years she's friends with most of your friends and him being your best friend - so is he. Tough call. This is why it's good to try your best and keep romance and friendship separate.

Actually, she barely knew any of my good mates. I knew all of her mates but she never really wanted to hang with my mates. I think she met him from my Myspace or visa versa.

If they didn't really know each other before hand, than no point in getting upset. Just move on and forget about her.

Difficult to forget about her considering the circumstances.

Let it go, a woman isn't worth losing a best friend over.

I sense some douchebaggery going on here. Met on Myspace? Let me guess who initiated the contact.

Women can be trifling though. Did you find out 3rd party; or from one of them?

Assuming it was all over between you and ex before friend got involved, and that they're no longer together:

You go out for beers with friend, get VERY drunk and swap notes on what a bitch she was.

The fact that he told you gives him some redeeming value. I'm sure he was aware that she was your ex?

Yeah he was. I'm not really all that angry with him, I dunno. I don't want to sound whiney and emo here but this was one of those relationships (I'm sure a lot of TBers have had them too) where the lady takes a lot away with her including dignity and -especially in my case- self esteem. I am angry with him because he should know better, but I'm also angry because I feel like my best friend is something she's trying to take away from me too [/emoness ]

It is a two party decision and effed on both their parts, but it doesn't seem like there is much you can really do except try to move on. It may be tough knowing your best friend has been there done that too. To help with the self esteem, I'd suggest hooking up with your best friends ex .

Sounds like you need some strange for that self esteem (where a jimmy). Aren't there loads of horny girls over there in Australia? Like 3 to 1 female to male ratio or something like that?

I'd also reconsider the company you keep.
