   ♥♥♥ Link: What to do when your ex starts dating your best friend

   Though it is tough seeing them together, stay away from them for a while, until you are ready to talk or say something positive to both of them. It might feel cathartic to try to drive a wedge between the two but it will usually simply backfire and leave you looking mean. Once you've had the initial conversation about the situation, we suggest backing off and letting your friend come to you, when the time is right. Set the precedent that people who are awful to your friends are people who don't get to see you naked, and your life will be the better because of it. Think of people you would like to forgive your ex and your friendas well as those you might have hurt and who would like to forgive you. What I've noticed, though, is that every person I've heard espouse this worldview was straight. Do not let your ex come between you and your friend. Whether you're gay, straight, bi, or not into labels, dating a friend's ex can absolutely be done without sacrificing your friendship — you just have to follow a few simple guidelines. Don't ever make your mate choose between you and your ex because this will cause even bigger problems. Avoid messing with their relationship. Don't do this ever, but especially not if his last girlfriend is the person you're going rock climbing with Sunday. There is probably a reason that your friend and the ex broke up in the first place, and over time your friend will most likely realize that. It would be wonderful if every breakup came with clarity that you no longer have feelings. Remind yourself that your friend isn't guaranteed keeping your ex either. While many would say the ideal solution is to avoid run-ins completely, in many cases it's just not possible, especially when there are overlapping friends, locations, and events. If you are not quite ready, just give it time. The only thing harder than a break up is losing a friend because of your feelings. Did you just get a new promotion at work?. Maintain your distance: Same advice, different meaning. Honesty and trust are the foundations of friendship and she has effectively trashed both. Try not to flaunt it. I'm going fo use female pronouns for your friend, and male pronouns for your sweetie, for the sake of simplicity; however, every rule here applies no matter the genders of the participants. What I've noticed, though, is that every person I've heard espouse this worldview was straight. Don't try to keep your boyfriend and your bud from associating because you're afraid dsting still have feelings for each other, and don't constantly seek reassurance that that's not the case. Try to let your break up go because if you don't your ex might start feeling uncomfortable around you.
