    My ex & I have been apart 3 years, we have 3 kids. Recently I have gotten to know a very good friend if his who wasn't a friend when we were together. His friend is also a single parent. We have just been chatting & getting to know each other & Tbh we are getting really well. He questioned my motive & I questioned his... I thought he might be setting me up, he thought I was in contact with him to make my ex jealous. So we cleared the air & he has asked me out on a date. I'm really into him & my ex now has a girlfriend, so just wondering should I go for it or is this wrong? Btw my ex & I are still good friends. Thanks

    I don't see why not. You've been apart for three years, and life has to move on for both of you. Having said that however, if I were the guy in question, I'd have mentioned it to your ex beforehand out of respect for the friendship if nothing else. I think he's risking his friendship far more than you are risking good relations with your ex, TBH.

    I'd prob ask the guy to mention it to your ex (are you sure he hasn't already?)before the date. If you're good friends with your ex and his friend is and your ex is in a relationship, then there shouldn't really be an issue. But I think most men would expect and appreciate the courtesy of a friend of theirs checking with them before going on a date with an ex of theirs and the mother of their children.
