Dating Your Friend’s Ex….Is It Ever Okay!? Hingham Housewife Answers This Listener’s Question

by | Jan 17, 2025 | SSMN Features

Every week, local author Alexandra Slater, A.K.A. ‘The Hingham Housewife’ joins Rob and Beth to help solve listener problems. This week, one listener wrote in:

I’ve been married for eight years, and my best friend just started dating my boyfriend. He and I were serious and even lived together for two years. Although this was a long time ago, is it fair for me to be upset with her for breaking girl code? She says I shouldn’t care if I’m married. Am I wrong to care?

Rob, Beth, and the Hingham Housewife Alexandra all debated if there was a right or wrong answer here:

Listeners texted in their thoughts as well:

Eight years ago is a long time. Have gratitude for your own marriage and having found a life partner you love. Celebrate your friend’s happiness. It doesn’t matter what didn’t work out in the past between you and this man. Great opportunity for personal growth here.
508 number said: 
 
Think she should get some space between her and her girlfriend and work on being happy with her husband of 8 years
And our weekend News man, David Cedrone, said this:
 
Bro code. A man never dates a friends ex. EVER
