The Question
Dear Karen,
This is a very touchy subject and honestly I can’t really ask my friends this question so I thought I would ask you.
My very good girl friend got divorced a few years ago. It was a very nasty divorce…she didn’t want it but he did.
Long story short…3 years later…my friends ex-husband asks me out. To be truthful, I like him and am attracted to him but my going out with him will for sure end my relationship with her.
Do I take the chance to see where it goes or do I forget the whole idea of being with him?
I will admit he intrigues me. What the heck should I do?

Karen’s Response
Dear Nameless,
Don’t do it! It would be one thing if she wanted the divorce and didn’t care about him anymore…but think about it…if the shoe were on the other foot. How would you feel. I just think there’s unwritten “girl code” and “guy code” for that matter that you don’t hook-up with a friends EX…especially a spouse.
Go out there and find a new man! They do exist.
Good luck.
Karen
