Really depends, but a good friend wouldn't be dating your ex without at least asking you first. That's if you value the friendship, and if they don't then they're not really your friend to begin with. The issue really lays between the friend and the ex and there are a lot of contributing factors to it. Well if you assume the relationship was serious and this was a good friend then personally I'd expect there to be mutual communication around something that could end up emotionally hurting someone I care about.

It's not mandatory more of a gesture to say you value your friend. Well, it depends on how the relationship ends, who ended the relationship, why you're dating you're ex's bestie, and how long it's been since the relationship ended. If you're dating the best friend only to make the ex jealous. Like if you're using the best friend to play mind games. That it not acceptable. It's a bit of a tricky scenario with a lot of ways things can end badly. If it happens naturally and your real friends everybody involve would understand my humble opinion.

If he was a horrible human which I'm sure she'd be aware of if my friend I may suggest she rethink her choices otherwise date away. Glad they've both got great taste in people they want to spend time with. There's bigger fish to fry in the world.

I'd appreciate it if I was asked. My ex said she didn't have feelings for me anymore, and ended up, a month or two later, dating a friend I had introduced her to. After that, she wouldn't even talk to me, and more or less isolated me from that whole friend group. One day he would be taking me out on a date and holding my hand and the next day he would be aloof and distant.

I finally decided I had had enough. It was the hardest thing I had to do, because yes, I was in love with him. He had been my best friend and a huge part of my life for over 20 years. He was at every birthday, holiday, there were many late night talks about life, drunk nights out dancing, high school dances. It was hard to let go of that. I am not trying to make this a cautionary tale but I feel like sharing my experience can help some of you who are struggling with telling your best friend how you really feel.

All you can really do is be honest with yourself.
