Ok this is not me, this is a friends dilemma.

[MalloryKane]

My friend went out with a group of her old friends that she has just got back in touch with. In this group was the EX boyfriend of one of the group. During the course of the eveing, my friends chatted to the ex boyfriend and they exchanged numbers with a view to going out for a drink. The girls whose ex this is has gone absolutely ballistic and says that they were talking about getting back together and had still been hooking up, she has told my friend she would be very "uncomfortable" is she and the bloke go out for a drink. Friend is not going to after this drama. The Ex boyfriend catergorically denies that they were still hooking up and getting back together.

What do we think of this?

Personally I don't care who goes out with MY exes I am just glad to be shot of them so this simply would not bother me but I am just wondering what the general consensus is. I have name changed because its actually quite a recognisable situation to the group involved and I don't want to be outed. Thanks.

Depends on how recent the ex is and how close the friend but generally I think it is a very. bad. idea.

Generally, I think it's a bad idea too.

old friends that she has just got back in touch with

As in she hadn't been in touch with them for what... A year, 5 years, since high school and they're now all aged 40?

If its more towards the latter then I'd say go for it, they're not great friends with each other if they haven't bothered keeping in touch for years!
