I agree with this. I think, scratch that, I know that it causes major problems. I'm sure most people will agree, but there are those who differ. Has anyone ever experienced this? If not, what is your opinion? What would you do in a situation like this?

I've seen this kind of thing happen with my friends twice in the last year ... serious drama. Both of the resulting couples turned out well, but the mess that they left in their wake -
In both cases it was women who began dating men that a friend had broken up with, and both women lost a lot of friends and caused a lot of conflict amongst friends over their decisions. I suppose if a friend's ex is really THAT important to you that you're willing to do that, it's your call, but the man better really be something special.
