Have I crossed a line?

So about 5 years ago one of my best friends slept with a guy a few times all very casual. Fast forward to now and I’ve started to talk to this guys brother - we seem to be getting on really well but one of my other friends think I should tell my friend incase she thinks it’s weird and makes her feel uncomfortable.

My friend has moved on etc and I’m confused as to whether I’ve crossed a line?

A lot of time has passed and nothing actually happened with the guy I’m talking to - just his brother.

what does everyone think?

It’s weird you’re even thinking it’s an issue. I think it’s weird fairly casual sexual encounters were discussed at the time, let alone years later.

Do what you want, and possibly talk about it less to others?

Completely overthinking things. Your mate is being weird. Do brothers discuss this kind of stuff? Does the guy you're talking to even know?

no I wouldn’t worry, it’s his brother, and as you’ve said she’s moved on

roseymoira · 16/09/2025 17:16

No issue at all

FuzzyWolf · 16/09/2025 17:18

This is such a non issue.

Why is this a topic/question? is it her father or child? Let's be real

Crazylady100 · 16/09/2025 17:37

I don’t think it’s an issue either but as one of my friends flagged it I started to over think it As I don’t want to do anything to upset my mate

Your 'friend' is being weird!

of course it's not an issue.

DramaAlpaca · 16/09/2025 18:50

I reckon you're overthinking this.

momtoboys · 16/09/2025 18:52

This should be no issue unless you are 14 and I just missed that part. Your "other friend" is ridiculous.

Why would your mate get upset about you seeing the brother of someone she slept with years ago?
