"Help! I Like My Friend's Ex" is what one of my girlfriends said to me over lunch a few months ago...

Yikes. This is a recipe for something messy and the likelihood of it going wrong is more possible than it going right.

But, I think we've all known someone where they went down this path and it DID work out for them. So it may not always be a hard & fast "no" in this scenario.

So, if you're faced with this problem - how does it go RIGHT?

What questions should you consider going into making decisions that can't be taken back?

I bring in my husband Aaron Weits for the male perspective on this and he even brings in his own experience dating one of his friends' exes... spoiler: didn't go well.

We pull the thread of this sweater until its a dismantled ball of yarn asking some pertinent questions for this scenario... what you end up doing if you're faced with this situation is up for you to decide :)
