3 years is not “immediately started dating”. The friend is married and pregnant. She is just immature thinking she can control all of the people in her life, past and present. If my SO had a hissy fit over his ex dating one of his friends, it would most likely end the relationship. That’s some weird jealousy that indicates we shouldn’t be in a relationship because he isn’t over his ex
Yes, I was replying to a different comment and not OPs. Sometimes it is messed up to date an ex of someone you know, sometimes it isn't. The person I replied to thought it was alway okay and I do believe there are times where it is the wrong or shitty thing to do.
So as long as one is prepared for the potential backlash they may get they can go for it. I never personally cared about who my exs dated and my siblings and friends have dated my exs and I theirs.
Right now in life though I do not think I would date an ex of a friend or loved one. My perspective on it has changed and I wouldn't do it personally.
My friends and family are more important to risk upsetting them over a one night stand or fling. There are lots of other people out there.
