She Hooked Up With Her Married Friend’s Ex-Boyfriend From Years Ago, But Her Friend Is Furious She Didn’t Ask First
About four years ago, this woman’s friend of almost a decade, Julia, dated a guy named Charles for one year.
But they broke up, and Julia hasn’t been with Charles for the past three years. In fact, she has instead gotten married to a different guy and is now 16 weeks pregnant.
She was also friends with Charles back when he was dating Julia, though, since they were both musicians. That’s why she and Charles had a lot in common.
“We all used to hang out a lot, and I got to know him really well,” she recalled.
“I thought he was a really cool guy, and I was happy for my friend.”
Then, following Julia’s breakup, she stopped seeing Charles since she thought remaining friends with him would be inappropriate.
That’s why years passed by, and they never had any contact. But, just last month, she played a small gig at a bar and ultimately ran into her friend’s ex.
Once she finished her set, she walked over to the bar to grab a drink. Charles just so happened to be there, too and went over to say hello to her.
“We had some drinks, laughed a lot, ordered dinner, and ended up going home together and [hooking up] with each other,” she revealed.

Now, the very next day, she decided to tell Julia what had happened since she didn’t want it to be a secret. Rather than not caring, though, Julia just became very quiet after she explained what had happened at the bar.
Then, her friend claimed to feel pretty tired due to the pregnancy, which pushed her to just leave her friend’s house.
It was not until a few hours later that she received a furious text message from Julia. Her friend berated her for being a jerk, and she was told that she should’ve asked Julia first. And despite being friends with Julia for nearly 10 years, Julia claimed to want nothing to do with her anymore.
“To be honest, I was in shock because I didn’t feel like I needed to ask permission to date him after they had been broken up for so long and after she got on with her life,” she admitted.
Regardless, she doesn’t really want to lose her friendship with Julia. But since Charles asked her out on a date, she now has no idea what to do.
Julia’s huge blow-up has also left her wondering whether going out with her married friend’s ex-boyfriend from years ago was really a jerky thing to do or if her thought process was reasonable.
Why do you think Julia cared so much about her going out with Charles if Julia already married someone else and is having a baby? If you had been in her shoes, would you have asked your friend first or not? Should she go on a date with Charles or call it off?
