Telling a friend you're dating his ex-girlfriend
Yesterday I was talking to one of my friends. I asked him about a girl he mentioned the last time I talked to him. He filled me in. He then asked me whether I had anything going on with the opposite sex. The answer was yes. But I had to make a hard decision very quickly. Because, the girl I'm dating is his ex-girlfriend. Now, if I saw him everyday and I was really good friends with him, I wouldn't date her to begin with. But the reason I'm not real close to him anymore is because she was my ex-girlfriend first. So when he started dating her, I stopped talking to both of them for the most part. I got back together with the girl about a month ago. I had been waiting around for her for more than a year and a half, with only one very minor diversion. I don't really know the circumstances of their break up, except that he ended it. I also know that he felt like an idiot after he did. So when he asked me what was going on with me, I hesitated. Do I lie? Well, I'm morally opposed to that. Do I tell him? He's my friend, and I know it would not make him happy. I decided to tell him. He's decided to stop talking to me, because he's not over her. I didn't know that. That made me feel terrible. What do you think? Should I have told him? I don't know. All I know is that one of my friends isn't talking to me.
