I think it's cool it worked out well for you guys. Some people just can't handle those things, though. I think I know more who couldn't than could.

1. stupid (can't read, etc.)/ stubborn, or
2. simply ignore my wishes and wants to antagonize.

So which is it? I've told you that I simply wants answers to my question about (well, read from the FIRST thread again). But, your repeated "jokes" AFTER the fact? Yeah, you're a real joker buddy!
I've got to say that you brought this on yourself by majorly over reacting to a fun comment.

To answer the original question, I would have no problem with a friend marrying one of my exes as long as I was completely finished with him first! I would like to be asked as well.

I suppose it depends on the relationship you have with your friend, the relationship your friend had with his or her ex, and the manner of their break-up. I'm sure there are instances when it's perfectly fine. Honestly, if one of my friends wanted to marry my ex-husband, I'd say it was one of the greatest moves they could make - provided they were well-suited. He's a fantastic person and I think the same of my friends.

But, you leave my goats alone! (silly Weird Al Yankovic reference)

Bah, nothing's weird nowadays... Denny Crane (not ours! ) was just soooooo lovingly looking at a sheep after he mistakenly took Viagra instead of some other pill!

So, is it, or is it NOT OK, to marry a friend's ex-lover (assuming you've known your friend for 8+ years)?
This is something that I would think most guys would not do.

Women, I can see them marrying a guy who used to be one of their friends' lovers.
