So about a year ago one of my really good friends split with his girlfriend because she was “into things that he wasn’t.” That’s all I got out of it.
Fast forward to about a week ago and I ran into her. She was always “thick” but she put on a lot of weight. We happened to be at a bar so we chatted for a bit and she opened up to me that she was in fact into gaining. I didn’t directly come out and say I’m into women who do that but I made a hints like nothing wrong with a bigger girl. She wanted to get together again but I can already tell where this is going and I feel like that’s off limits being that she’s my good buddies ex. Anyone ever been in a situation like that?
This has the potential to get very messy. Sure, they aren't dating anymore. But I know a lot of people get weird about a friend dating their ex - especially if it means they'll be seeing their ex more.
If you want to preserve your friendship, I'd clear it with your buddy first before persuing her. There might also be more to the story than he first told you.
