Default Most of us have selective memories it seems.

Probably fine until your friend comments on how well your new wife/husband used to do such a great job of such and such in bed with them.

Might strain the friendship you have with them.

I don't see where there would be a problem with it, except for the memories. If the memories don't bother you, smile right back and go for it.

I guess if people thought of where those lips had been there might not be many people getting remarried.

And here I am, looking for a new partner/wife! Isn't life great.

This is NOT my own experience!
The question is way too general imo. It would depend on a lot of factors. How long they'd been broken up, why they broke up and if the friend was and still bears animosity over the breakup.

Overall, I just couldn't. It'd just be to weird to think about doing it. Friends are like family to me, so trying it would have a rather incestuous feel to it. And in general, there are plenty of other dating choices, plenty of other fish in the sea, so why would I consider dating a friend's ex?

And the first example that comes to mind is Eric Clapton dating and then marrying George Harrison's first wife Patti. No soap operas in real life for me, no thank you please!

I don't believe my post deserves any sarcasm, considering I said the FIRST time that I saw this ON MSNBC.com. Perhaps you should learn to read things ENTIRELY to get a full grasp of things BEFORE you respond... isn't that a concept? But, my bad, I suppose people tend to "scan" when reading !

Well the story on MSNBC.com is about two women that have known each other for 8 YEARS. One woman was engaged but broke up w/ her fiance, but it's been years since the engagement breakup, and this woman is now married w/ someone else and have kids of her own.

Her friend saw her exfiance when he came back into town, had a good time... to make long story short, she's now engaged to her friend's exfiance.
