Ok, so I'm watching Jeremy Kyle... I have it series linked to whenever I feel a bit shit, I watch it all in one lump to make myself feel superior

'My ex won't accept that I'm sleeping with her mum' The daughter has a baby with this man, and now he's shagging the grandmother of his own child

So let's have a mass debate.

Personally, if my mum or my sister slept with my husband, even FIFTY YEARS after we'd split - I would never speak to them again. I think it's a line you just don't cross. My mum, however, thinks you can't help who you fall in love with.

Do you have a line? Where is it?

You can't help who you fall in love with but you can help shagging them, spending time with them, having a relationship with them, wrecking your other relationships because you value them more than your own child.

But then most people get this I think. Most people when they get into relationships that hurt other people feel guilt and know they're being selfish even if that's not enough to stop them doing it.

If I'd split up with him, then he'd be free to do what he liked. If that was sleep with my mother, then his choice.

If I'd split with him, I clearly didn't want him, so what's it to me?

And what's the cut off? mother - no. sister - no. cousin? aunt? best friend? close friend? neighbour?

When your relationship has ended, you don't have the right to tell the other person who they may or may not form a relationship with.
