Would you ever date your best friend's man?

I got this idea because Denise Richards is dating her best friend, Heather Locklear's, ex-husband, Richie Sambora. How do you feel about this subject? :D

This is just a very wrong thing to do, in my opinion. It is just not something a friend should ever do to another friend. It would be so uncomfortable for everyone, besides the fact that it is just wrong. :bbconfused:

Well I am not dating anyone other than my husband at this point in my life ;)

But generally speaking I would lean towards not dating anyone that dated a friend of mine. I would definitely not go after a guy that was dating or had dated one of my friends or anything like that. And I would definatly not date the ex of my best friend.

However, DH dated one of my old friends. We were not friends when they dated and she never mentioned him and we didn't meet through her. She was married to someone else at the time. We met where I worked and started talking and getting to know each other for a couple of weeks before I even told her that I met him and that was when I found out that she had dated him a few years back.

She got a little upset, but I didn't see the problem. He wasn't bad to her, she said they only dated a few times and left on good terms. Plus really, we had only been friends for a couple of months, she was a little crazy and we had other issues with our friendship anyway. She finally made the comment that I needed to pick her or him, so I picked him and never looked back.

No. But, this won't be an issue. My friends have totally different "tastes" in men than I would. I just couldn't picture me with any of their ex's or current husbands even if they were shall we say, marked property?

No...you live and learn...

LOL! Justin used to be one of my good friend's boyfriend. I didn't steal him from her or anything. They dated in high school and she dumped him. It's a long, dramatic story that I will not go into. She treated him horribly and basically tore him apart for awhile.

She and I were friends for awhile after we graduated from high school. She met this other guy and started getting into some bad things with him. I went along with it for awhile. I will not pretend to be a saint. I did some things with them too that I'm not proud of. When we were 19 she ended up getting pregnant and married this guy. That was about the time I had enough of being stupid, I guess you could say. We talked a little still, but did not hang out like we used to.

I ran into Justin one day and a few months later we began dating. I told her about it and she was okay with it. By this time she was married with a baby. Now she is divorced, with a little girl, and is already dating another guy.

I haven't and don't foresee myself dating again, but it would depend on the circumstances of the situation.

I was a product of a friend dating one of my ex's. I guess they were not realy dating just sleeping together. But that and the issues around it ended our frendship. I broke up with him yes. But if she thought it was ok why did she hide it from me. I broke up with him for many reasons. Sh eknew them all. When I finaly spoke to her about it all and got it all onthe table I asked her who she thought he was thinking about when he was sleeping with her. She said all he ever talekd about was me when they were together. But she still slept with him. So I said to her that he could not have possibly been thinking about her duirng the sex if all he talked about before heand was me. I am not being conseeded in any way. But there were alot of things that happeded up this that she just was choosing the guy over her friend of 6 years.

As a teenager my best friends boyfriend tried to hook up with me after he broke up with her and I would not do it. Even if I thought he was cute and would have loved to date him under different circumstances I never would do that to my friend.

I could never let a guy come between me and my best friend. I wouldnt even consider dating someone my best friend had a crush on. I had a friend do that to me and it sucked... I couldnt do it to one of my friends.
