Although I agree with a lot of you on this thread about dating a sister's (or brother's) ex, a lot of you may not have actually been in the situation yourself...
I've been dating the ex of a sister for almost a year and a half now. We kept it quiet for a while because I didn't want my sister to be angry with me. Once I finally got the guts to talk to her about it, I felt stupid because she didn't mind at all! She doesn't have feelings for him at all (they broke up about a year before we started dating), and she knows that he and I were friends before they started dating.
Granted, I'm very thankful that this sister has no hard feelings about my dating her ex, I don't think I would be so happy if he and I broke up and he started to date another sister. I know that would never happen (he sees it as, you have a limit of two from any given sorority, but that's just how he feels), but if it did, I would be extremely hurt. My situation is different than the situation was when he dated the other sister... When they were together, it was for only 2 months and they weren't serious at all. Their breakup was a given. I've been with him MUCH longer, we have a serious relationship, and it would kill me to see him date another of my sisters!
So although it may be slightly disrespectful to date a sister's (or brother's) ex, sometimes things just work out for the better!
