No matter how much time has passed since you’ve dated a guy, I don’t think it’s legit for a good friend to EVER date an ex of yours. But some beg to differ.
Nayla and Nadine were inseparable. They shared everything. Throughout high-school Nayla dated Wissam, it was as serious as it can get at the time. Everyone swore they would end up getting married. Even Nadine. But they didn’t. His parents sent him to the US for college and Nayla went on to study medicine at AUB. They grew apart throughout the years as most couples do with distance. Wissam broke up with Nayla eventually. It was all too much for him. Although she was sad to let him go, she knew she had to. It was Nadine’s shoulder she cried on.
Years passed, Nayla was doing her residency at AUB and Wissam was now back in Beirut working for one of the big-shot consultancy agencies in the country. They hooked up a couple of times at random parties for old times’ sake, but that’s as far as it went, although it didn’t help that girls had a hard time getting their hands off him. A girl in particular found it especially hard. Nadine. One night as Nayla was picking up Nadine, she spotted Wissam leaving her building in a scurry. Nadine had “no idea” why he was there but in a city with a rumor mill as active as Beirut’s, scandal travels fast. Apparently the two had been hooking up for some time. When finally confronted, Nadine told Nayla that she can’t just declare someone off-limits because she once dated him. But the thought of sharing someone she was intimate with was horrifying to Nayla. Both girls don’t talk anymore, better yet, Wissam stopped hooking up with Nadine when he figured out she had feelings for him. It was a lose-lose. So ladies, as tempting as it may seem, think twice before going for your bestie’s sloppy seconds
