Its after but a long term GF apparently
So what?
Just because it may have been a long term partner, once the relationship is over that's it done n dusted. There's no claim or right of residual ownership of someone once a relationship is ended.

No. Your line of thinking puts some sort of claim of ongoing entitlement to a former partner of a relationship. Once a relationship is finished for whatever reason then no-one needs the others permission to explore other relationships, even if it's with a friend of the former partner.

Never said anybody needs permission

Would you hook up with your mate ex ?
Would you then expect to remain friends ?

Couldn’t care less.
As long as they are both happy and not doing it for any other motive.
Always look forward. Rear vision mirrors are for losers

Might be considered polite to check with your mate to ensure there's clear air n no lingering issues, but permission certainly not needed.

Why not?

Again, why not.

Been in the reverse position regarding an ex. Far as I'm concerned an ex is an ex, move on with the rest of your life n if a mate is interested in your ex. Good luck to both of them, it's no-one else's business.

From your comments regarding someone hooking up with a mates " ex " partner you obviously have plenty of issues with that type of situation.

I don't think you realize how immature you sound, hopefully in real life you are a little better rounded than you display on here.

I'm not sure I understand all the hate coming Turk's way.

I'm a few years younger than Turk but every group of friends I have ever had, school, work, sporting clubs, neighbours etc. have had the mantra that mates exes are off limits. It's not about ownership it's about friendship, respect and trust.

There are plenty of wonderful single women out there so there is no need to chase a mates ex.

It has nothing to do with respect or trust, 2 singles get together that is between them and no one else, everyone moves on after a relationship breaks down, if you supposedly loved them at some stage you should be happy they found someone who loves them, anything else is childish, immature mucho BS.

If you and your mate's ex fell in love, you would forgo that for some blokey creed? *smile* that.

If it happened to me, I'd definitely talk to my mate and tell him we're in love and very happy. If he can't accept that, he won't be my mate anymore.

No one is going to *smile* with my chance of being happy.

Yes. You sound like the typical type that thinks women are some sort of property of a man. You don’t screw your mates ex? Even using the word screw is pathetic. Is that all relationships are?

..'residual ownership'.. what a great phrase. Can't wait to use it!

But even when in a relationship there is no such thing as ownership. It takes 2 to tango.
