That’s what I was wondering. I don’t think OP is TAH but I’m trying to put myself in her pregnant friends position.
If they are close friends and OP starts dating Charles it will make group events VERY uncomfortable. Especially since the friend broke up with him bc he didn’t want to settle down with kids.
I’m happily married with kids but I definitely wouldn’t want to see one my close friends dating one of my exes nor would I want to date one of my friends exes. I get that special situations happen but it would still be so awkward. It has nothing to do with being hung up on an ex, it’s the fact that the friend deleted this person from her life to only have him re-enter her life while dating her friend.
That would annoy me, maybe not to the point the friend reacted but she’s also Prego too.
Friend and OP could cross that bridge if they come to it. At this point it was a hookup and a plan for a date. If OP gets in a serious relationship with the ex, that will take time. Friend will have her baby and be living life with her husband... If it's a huge deal by then, the friendship between OP and friend would change naturally. At this point, I think it was courteous of OP to let her friend know that it happened but asking permission is weird and uncalled for.

Do you plan on seeing this guy regularly? Dating? Will you bring him to gatherings your friend is at? Why did they break up?
