Why is it ethically wrong to date your friend's or sibling's ex?

[Kross]

So many people rule that the ex of their friends or siblings are no go areas for them to be in a romantic relationship with. They see it as unethical. Even if they end up having feelings for the friend's ex or sibling's ex, they would rather bottle it and die in silence.

What makes it wrong to date your friend's or sibling's ex?

Personally, I don't know if it is wrong but I will never date someone that just left my friend or siblings. I can't trust such a person.

What if the person had dated your friend a long time before you knew the person. Won't you date him or her? Btw, the devil you know is better than.....

I think the issue is people just find it kind of awkward dating someone their friend or sibling dated for years and have lots of memories together. Another reason is how are you so sure the feelings are gone completely?

Yes, its not acceptable, its one of unwritten rule, you shouldn't date your friends or siblings ex, i mean imagine when your friend dates your ex.

I don't know who made these rules but the guy I am currently dating is a college ex of one of my friends. They broke up 3 years ago and when the guy asked me out, I asked my friend if she has completely gotten over him, and she gave her approval. We started dating and he is a really great guy.

Nope, he should go look for another person. So many fishes in the ocean. He needs to run along

I have no idea, but I will never date a friend's or sibling's ex. It's a big no for me. I respect them, thus I will not do such a thing.

I think this is wrong because it means that this person will be very close to your friends again, and she definitely would not want that if they broke up and thinks that this is not a written law of friendship at all
