Crossing the unwritten rule and forbidden barrier of ‘hooking up’ with a friend’s ex, may result in some serious repercussions by the perpetrator. This is not a topic to be considered in black and white, nor is this a decision that should be made quickly. Dating, let only sleeping with a friend’s ex, could result in the termination of a friendship.
In a way, the ‘bro code’ works for men and women, however, women usually use the term ‘hoes before bros’. The bro code are like golden rules followed by your fellow mates. For men it could mean, ‘You can’t sleep with my ex-girlfriend’, and for women it’s more along the lines of, ‘You can’t talk or even look at my ex-boyfriend’. Yikes!
Break ups are absolute hell and are even worse when you see your ex at the nightclub your friends took you to in order to get your mind off them to begin with. (Note: you probably shouldn’t go to nightclubs you and your ex frequented anymore just in case).
