This one time at band camp...my (quarter) Swede friend (who looks like ole Leo DiCaprio) and his (farm/trucker but really sweet) girlfriend, of very good looking blonde stock too, had been dating for about a year or so, and we all felt very comfortable with him and her just hanging out with our posse usually.

This other (identical twin) very good friend of ours and posse buddy, I am told looks like an Omar Sharif look-alike, started consoling ole Leo's gf whenever the two had a tiff. Sure you know it, they started dating when SHE, trucker girl, dumped HIM, Leo boy, at one point (the dude deserved it, the womanizing dog, though good friend otherwise that he was). This all was coming to a serious boil when the Leo bf started dating a FRIEND-of-MY-GIRLFRIEND, one quarter American Indian with long flowing hair and deep eyes. Like this Leo boy just hit it off with the friend of my gf, a zippy Spaniard, like on the first day that they met, and they started necking (that's a hilarious word that I just had to use) in front of us 24/7. This quarter-American-Indian girl that Leo was sucking face with and he looked good together, though too bad that she was his complete rebound.

Anyway, everybody was very happy and no body knew, or admitted to themselves, that so-and-so was so-and-so's rebound, especially the so-and-so!

So! One day, MY GF, the zippy Spaniard, breaks up with ME, but still hangs out with us posse long past the "this is weird" period of etiquette get-the-hell-out-of-dodge when it's over period.

In the end, I'm the one just feeling like a dope and I don't hang out with the rest of them, or Zippy, for like a year and I start some serious seclusion studying for once, determining that humanity is scum. I ace out my band camp years all by my lonesome, or with some rebounding of my own, but I don't shows her to ANYbody.

Last I saw of the posse one time after graduation from band camp, we all had one regrouping at the home of the original dude, Leo. He was driving a truck for UPS and dating this complete truck-sized, eyes-so-far-apart-you-could-fly-a-DC-10 through, tart with ole Leo talking about how stupid the old days were, and he shows us this picture and letters to his DC-10 girlfriend (just the stack of papers). Omar's TWIN brother and Leo, strangely enough, had now become best friends, and Omar himself and trucker chick are around the block at a coffee shop wanting to say hi (because Omar and Leo had been neighborhood buddies since forever living in the same area). It was surreal seeing Leo with Omar's brother because it almost seemed that Leo and Omar had let it all go.

We all then have to make two trips to say hello to Leo and then to say hello to Omar, though trucker chick had the sense to skip the dysfunctional reunion across town. She seemed happy though.

Omar and the original gf, trucker chick, are married and he drives a fast little German-engineering job trading on LaSalle Street futures. Ole Omar and trucker chick, a bizarre and weird but workable couple, live happily every after, or last I heard 15 years ago, 10 years later.

Go figure!

Lessons? I have no idea.

Maybe one, don't go there. They's be trouble.

Ok, maybe two, be good to yer woman.

Nothing like one happy family!


Seriously, if feeling are that strong, if you feel for each that much, go for it. But talk to your buddy first. Tell him that it is on. If he don't dig it, then he is the goof. After all, the relationship is over.
Enough said

Your friend is a douche for getting with your ex 10 days after you two broke and on top of it did it while you were on vacation. I mean, if it was 10 days later and he told you what was up my opinion would be COMPLETELY different. If you are pissed about the situation, I think it's more than warranted considering the facts.

I was thinking about this situation and it reminded me of my own "situation." My current boyfriend is the friend of my ex-boyfriend. The situation is no where near as jarring as the OP's though. I dated my ex back in 1999. My current boyfriend and I got together in 2006. The friend in question didn't have any problems with it and actually laughed about it and hoped we were happy. It probably helped that he is living in Germany, my boyfriend is in America and I'm in Korea
