She Dated Her Best Friend’s Ex… Did She Break Girl Code?

Does girl code have an expiration date? In this episode of Love Up For Debate, we debate whether dating your former best friend’s ex years after the friendship ends is betrayal or fair game. A 27-year-old woman has been dating her boyfriend for almost a year, but there’s one problem: his ex used to be her best friend. After seeing their relationship on social media, the former friend says she broke girl code and isn’t a “girl’s girl.” Was she supposed to ask permission before dating her former best friend’s ex? Does the way the original relationship ended matter? Is a friend’s ex always off limits? And exactly how much time has to pass before girl code expires? We get into dating a friend’s ex, friendship loyalty, relationship boundaries, exes, modern dating, girl code vs. bro code, courtesy vs. permission, and whether the real betrayal is about the ex—or the former friend. In this episode, we debate: How long does Girl Code actually last? Is it about the guy, or is it about the principle? Should you ever ask for a "blessing" to date an ex? Why we shouldn't use our own emotional thresholds to judge others' reactions What do you think: once enough time has passed, is your former friend’s ex fair game?
