Dear LIB readers: My brother is still friends with my ex, is it right?

From a female LIB reader
I dated one of my brother's best friends for a year and two months and broke up with him just last November. My ex has moved on and so have I but what pisses me off right now is that my brother is still friends with this dude. I'm angry at that because our relationship ended because his friend cheated on me with someone in our inner circle. I expected my brother to at least have my back and be on my side on this one but he's still hanging out with my ex and even going out with him and his new girlfriend (not the girl he cheated on me with). I confronted him some days ago and he said what we had was between us and he never got involved and their friendship is between them and I shouldn't get involved. I'm currently not on speaking terms with my brother because I feel betrayed by him. I was hurt by his friend and he would continue to be friends with him? Where's the loyalty? I've cut him out of my life until he cuts his friend out of his life. My brother is wrong for still being friends with a man that hurt his baby sister, is he not?

  2. Well his friend cheated on u not him, his friend has not hurt him and trust me ur brother doesnt understand exactly how bad u were hurt. If we kip people out of our lives over their flaws and mistakes we would all be lonely. Get over it

  3. I'm very certain your brother was against the relationship when it started but you ignored him and still went ahead with it. Why are you crying wolf where there's none?

  4. My dear u don't have to act that way... Its none of ur brother's business, u said they are best of friends... So u don't expect them to to separate coz of that... Thank God he has moved on and u too... So settle things with ur brother and forget the past!

    ReplyDelete
  5. You are a fool...you went ahead with the relationship knowing fully that he's friends with your brother,how exactly do you want him to unfriend him now?

  6. In the first place you shouldn't have dated ur brother's bestfriend. So don't put the blame on ur bro for he's not d reason why u brokeup wit ur ex.

  10. Lol are they meant to be enemies? Did your ex kill someone in your family? Lmao, you're just being childish, seems you don't understand life, the things people have to live with and make it through each day, you should have known what's at stake when u fell for him, don't put pressure on your brother, its wrong for you to, you could hv just told him playfully;mehn I hate seeing you two together, instead of saying cut from him, u don't have that right, and boys are boys, they rarely beef like us.

  12. i don't think ders anything wrong in him being friends with ur brother, as ur brother said,ur relationship with him is different from der friendship. secondly guyz do not behave or think like ladies do; so girl u gat to accept it d way it is n if u truly have moved on, this shouldn't affect you in anyway.

  13. He is a man please, not a woman. Get over it already

  16. I dont see anything wrong with this,it better u move on

  17. Uv got a very shallow thinkin babes! U think guys are like ladies ba? Biko leave ur brother out of it. He didn't match-make u people did he? Guys hardly keep malice. I thnk ure jst being jealous cuz ur ex has moved on. Move on too.

    ReplyDelete
  18. How ridiculously petty and narrow minded of you!

    To cut your brother out of your life because you expect some self-made up "loyalty" from him? Do you want him to be alone without friends?

    At least he was mature enough to tell you straight up he did not meddle with your relationship when you were dating his friend so now do not meddle with his friendship.

    If tomorrow you get married, who will you show more loyalty to, your husband or your brother? Will you leave your husband for your brother? Are you still a child?

    The whole world must revolve around you if not it fails to exist. Women!

  20. I don't see anything wrong with that, my own bro is still friends with my ex and it's cool

  21. Puhleeeeez YOU dated HIS friend. They had a relationship before you chose to be with him. Almost all guys have cheated/will cheat at some point in their lives(your brother inclusive).not excusing it though, but making you understand that your brother wont deem it such a big deal to the point of ending their friendship. At the time he cheated yes but now you're both good so perk up love. Let him see how happy you are now sans him.

  22. *yawn* am sure u were singing Irreplacable by Beyounce when u both broke up,u ought to have gotten over him.now u cut ur brother outta your life coz of an ex. ara na apu gi.

  45. well. that is the difference between men and women. if the situation were reversed, u would be going up and down causing drama for the ex-gf but here is ur brother, not too big to have a drink and hangout with someone he's acquainted with. DEAL WITH IT!

  47. Lol u are d 1 wrong for not speaking to your brother, guys we always be friends no matter what, I also dated my bro friend for 3yrs we broke up he broke my hearts because his my first love but I moved on and all of us are still friends.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Watin concern your brother with u and your relationship? U did not respect him by dating his friend so why should u expect him to cut off his own friend? Any way men are like dat,they does not keep malice.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Omg this happened to me also

    ReplyDelete
  50. Personally I tried to avoid dating my sibling's friends. Too much emotions runs high if the relationship does not work out. You should not let this affect your relationship with your brother. He has a point.

  55. They were friends before you; don't think its fair to think they will not be just because you broke up. Here is the thing,they guy betrayed you not your brother and personally I think guys are much simpler than us in terms of friendship and stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Dat is not enough reason fr ur Broda to have issues wd his friend,just forget about him and move on wt life.is not d end of d road fr u

    ReplyDelete
  62. You dated his best friend, your brother did not,He loved you in a romantic way, he likes your brother in a friendly way.

    what ever happens in your relationship, you should be emotionally mature in handling it.

    Your ex is longer into you, does not mean he should not be friends with your brother. Sort yourself out.

  64. I agree with the girl,he definitely has to cut ties with the guy,This is family okay and all guys should be willing to do any thing just to protect they own kid sister.

    ReplyDelete
  67. This is the problem with dating your brother/sister's friend. U shuld consider the after-relationship effect. I understand where the lady is coming from, but I also understand where the guy stands. She should have considered before dating her brother's 'best' friend. Guys don't just break friendships the way girls do. If she has really moved on, it should not bother her. #My2Cents

    ReplyDelete
  68. i strongly support the brother coz she can't destroy their friendship bcoz of her own nd at first its was her wish to date the guy so i don't see anything wrong in her brother friendship with his ex.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Though am not in ur Shoes, buh did u consult ur brother before dating his friend cos for sure I know he won't agree to dat.Apperently he must v warned u against dat buh u insisted on dating his friend..pls don't drag ur bros into this..bear ur cross girl

    ReplyDelete
  70. for d fact u broke up isnt enof reason he should. By the way he gains dats why hes stil in it.

  71. Grow up, ur bro can't judge his friend cos he cheats on his gf too and he doesn't see it as a big deal...

    ReplyDelete
  72. Girl, ur d 1 at fault! how can u think of that? Girl, u don't hv a qualities of a gd woman, so becos u hv misunderstanding with ur ex who happens 2 be ur brothers best frnd now u expected them 2 dismise bcos of u, where were ur sense of humor when u stated dating ur brother's frnd which u surpose 2 take like a brother 2, girl that's men 4 u they are not like women who keeps marries at any mistake, bent me they can't seperate bcos u.

  78. Lol. It's never that serious. Guys never do that kinda shi. Stop talking to my G 'cos he 'cheated' on my younger sis? Lol. It may be hard to take for you but forreals real niggas respect the bro code.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I will advise you leave ur brother out of this. They were friends b4 u started dating his friend. He's just a man. Men don't behave like us women. There's nothing wrong with the both of them being friends. U better make up with him.

    ReplyDelete
  80. My question is if back den he ask u not to date d guy would u av listen to him? This happen to me and dis was d first question my brother asked me. Ders notin wrong wit dem being friends and d thruth abt it is ders wen u get to meet a better person u will be thankful u didn't end up wit him.

    ReplyDelete
  81. ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW????? WHY SHOULD YOUR BROTHER STOP BEING FRIENDS WITH YOUR EX?....WELL, UNLESS HE HAD KILLED YOU OR SOMETHING WORSE.....LOL....JOKES

    AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOUR BROTHER HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR EX BEFORE YOU GOT YOURSELF HOOKED UP WITH THE GUY. IN FACT, YOU ARE THE ONE THAT CROSSED ROAD, BECAUSE THERE ARE MILLIONS OF GUYS OUT THERE YET YOU CHOOSE TO HOOK YOUR SELF UP WITH YOUR BROTHERS FRIEND. NOW, BECAUSE THE GUY CHEATED ON YOU, YOU ARE TELLING YOUR BROTHER TO BREAK HIS LONG-TERM FRIENDSHIP WITH THE GUY. GIRLFRIEND....YOU DON KOLO......YOU DON MAD SEF. DONT BRING IN SOME KINDA YEYE FAMILY/BLOOD PRINCIPLE HERE.YOU SHOULD HAVE WEIGHED ALL THE CONSEQUENCE BEFORE YOU GOT YOURSELF INVOLVED WITH THE GUY.

    NOW LET ME TURN THE TABLE AROUND AND ASK YOU A QUESTION. IF YOUR BROTHER HAD INSISTED THAT YOU SHOULD NOT DATE HIS FRIEND RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING NKO? WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE SAID AND DONE? I BET YOU WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED YOUR HEARTS DESIRE AND STILL DO THE GUY. SO NOW WHAT? PLS DONT BE AN ASS OVER HERE. DO YOU AND LET YOUR BROTHER DO HIMSELF. YOU HAVE YOUR LIFE TO LIVE, PLS LET YOUR BROTHER LIVE HIS OWN LIFE AS HE PLEASE.

    AND GO APOLOGISE TO YOUR BROTHER BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SLEPT WITH HIS FRIEND AFTERALL.

  83. but what your brother said is true. Men are not like women that when two people are not on speaking terms, they just force themselves to enter a beef they were never a part of. you sound immature to me.. why cant he be friends with your ex?was he not friends with him before you dated him?

    ReplyDelete
  84. That's not a sensible thing to do. Your ex and your bro were friends before you came into the pic. He has your back but what really happened b/w you and your ex has zero to do with their friendship. Don't be bitter. How can you cut your bro off over something so petty? I'm pretty sure it's cause you are still in love with your ex. Deal with your feelings and leave your bro out of this.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Gist. Haven't u heard of bros over his? He can't ditch his frnd coz of u girl,u don't know wat dey ve bin thru. Ur ex has moved on, u wil do well to move on with ur life too. Nyiny's view though

    ReplyDelete
  86. Men don't reason or behave like we ladies, pls don't,t blame ur bros,he is doing the right thing,you don't,t have 2 keep malice with somebody bcos he is not in good term with your relation,that is childish. Intact i have made that mistake b4 and I regrated. So don't, blame or bros.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Dnt wrry,he will get back at him some day nd u will be d one to smile last my sis.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Please it depends. If they have been friends before you jumped on the guy(That's what likely happened) don't expect them to just cut off because your brother may have even known that you were 'over-falling' for his friend and may have even tried to stop you but women and fantasy sha. Now you want to blame the poor guy. Abeg leave them jor and find another lover.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Never date your brother's friend. Go and reconcile with your brother because he took the right decision.

    ReplyDelete
  90. My dear frnd,u don't need to cut your bother off,bcos there are frnd before u came in. And now u can't seprate them. Infact u shld act maturely and do has if u don't kwn wot is happen! Move on with ur new guy. All I will tell u is that make sure that every time ur are happy. Always happy & don't look @ their side. Bt if u contiune with dis my sista u are nt helping matters. Am also a lady so I kwn wot am saying. Trust me

  91. I had exactly the same iss... My den bf hit me and I broke up with him. Funny thing is my brother was there when the whole iss happened tho he stood up for me but he's still friends with my ex till now! Someone he met thru me sef, mtcheew

  92. I don't even know what to say to U̶̲̥̅̊. Whose loss if U̶̲̥̅̊'ve cut ur bro outa ur life? Cus he, ur ex n his current gf will continue to live happily ever after....I'm sure U̶̲̥̅̊ even started going out with his friend without his permission else he would have warned U̶̲̥̅̊ about the kind of guy his friend was/is. Abeg free him because he is right!

  100. Did ur brother give you the go ahead to date his friend.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Well I need to his side of the story because I had a similar problem with my sister. When she started a relationship with my friend she didn't seek my opinion or consent even when I found out about it and told her to call it off she didn't listen. She said "I can't control her life". If it eventually it ends bad. You shouldn't come running to "your brother" expecting him to cut his relationship with his friend. When this all could have been prevented if you had just listened in the 1st place. I know for fact that brothers often love their sisters.

    ReplyDelete
  102. The same thing is happening to me, my friend wants me to stop bn friends with his ex, who also happens to be a friend.

  109. They were frnds before u started dating. Ur brother isn't betraying u. I think he's right. U dnt expect him to destroy friendship he has built over the years cos u guys are no longer together. I don't think you've moved on if you still hurt this much. Move on dear and forget about him.

Dnt blame ur bro,u had a choice n u chose to date his frd.bsids,ur gf is also irresponsible person to hav agreed to date ur bf knowin very well,u guys were an item.she's got no self control n respect 4 the frdship u both hav or had.reconcile wit ur bro.he wil 4eva b ur bro n may stand by u wen d nid arise.

  114. Guys will always be guys, and girls the same. I don't see how ur relationship should affect their friendship. Get over it and move on.

    ReplyDelete
  115. first commenter... we don't choose family but we choose friends and to the mailer I think your brother has found true friendship with this guy that goes along way to tell you that he might not be what you think the crazy fuck up cheat. Maybe he made a mistake something that is common with all men.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Next time don't date your brothers best friend. Your brother too probably cheats (birds of the same feather and blah blah) - Dry your tears and have fun with your life jare.

  127. no he isn't wrong...these are questions you have asked yourself or your brother before this relationship started. you said your brother and him were best friends, if thats the case you're being self fish and petty. it doesn't sound like you have completely moved on either

    ReplyDelete
  128. It will be very wrong for your brother to still keep such as a friend. Blood they say is thicker than water. This will hurt till eternity as long as he continue with him as a friend and perhaps he should understand that such a friend could also betray him. If you tell ur brother and he doesn't see anything wrong, I advise to be wary of him. Birds of a feather fluck together.

  133. Out of curiosity if your brother had asked you to not date his best friend in the first place would you have obliged? I am sorry to hear things did not work out between both of you but to cut off your brother for someone that is no longer in your life is only going to hurt you in the long run.

  138. Do you not understand dating 101, never date your bro's friends.... Guys are guys get over it, he's not thinking of you. Sorry it's a cold cruel world.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Sweety I understand why u re upset, but cutting ur own brother off just because he refused to feud with his best friend who also happens to be ur ex is not a smart move. First of all, u seem like u re still hurt, maybe cos of how d breakup went down, but u have to move past that. U really have to. Do not let ur anger at another person hurt ur family. Trust me no ex is worth ur happiness and the company of ur dear brother. Pls just let it be. Cos the dude hurt u doesn't mean he is a bad friend to ur brother and u knew they were bestfriends before u decided to date him. Those kinds of interwoved relationships tend to get messy and that's why it's best u stay away. But u said u've moved on and I know if u really have, getting past the hurt and betrayal is a critical step. I empathise with u, but don't cut ur brother off pls. It's not wise and u may regret it horribly. Goodluck hun and try to forgive...

  140. why did you go out with ur brother's best friend in the first place.. You shld have drawn the line back then n asked urself what wld happen if it didnt work out.. Shld have asked urself so many salient questions before steping into their friendship. Guys dnt end friendship bcos of a gurl. Ever.. #Guyscode #rule1.. Had I known is worrying you now?

  141. This girl forgot to mention the part where her bro warned and advised her not to date his friend. Pls u enjoyed the relationship while it lasted + u said u'v moved on.pls Free your bro.

  142. Dear sister, If I told you to not date my friend, you would bitch and moan and tell me how much of an adult you are.

    If I warned you that he wasn't ready yet, or that you would get hurt, you wouldn't listen.

    You dated, got burned now you want to wreck my friendship.

    If he beat you and I still broke bread with him, then you have a case. but he cheated and you dumped him and you both moved on.

    It's hard to find guys to hang with and we were best friends before you decided you wanted to see more of him.

    I hoped you guys would make it work but it didn't and he hurt you. I talked to him about it. He knew he messed up. I was angry and forgave him.


    now I think you should to. It's the adult thing to do.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Honestly speaking your brother is right. You are a grown woman u don't need protection. You entered that relationship without asking your brother for permission cos it wasn't relevant so your issues with dt dude is ur business. If u dated ur frnd's brother and u broke his heart would u expect ur frnd to stop talking with you? The fact is you are being childish. Grow up. If u have really moved on then u shud be frnds with ur ex sef, afterall were u not all frnds before you started dating? Your brother has done nuffin wrong. And before some angry females get on my case thinking am a dude, am a girl too and I think you are wrong

    ReplyDelete
  144. Are you 2 years old or what? ?? ? Ofcourse your brother will not stop being friends with the guy! What happened btw you and his friend is not his business especially when it wasn't a criminal offence that was committed

  145. DID U ASK FOR UR BROTHER'S PERMISSION B4 U STARTED DATING HIS FRIEND OR DID HE CONVINCE U TO DATE HIS FRIEND? HISS

    ReplyDelete
  146. When it comes to relationships, guys don't joke with their sisters', that's why we won't let our randy friends date our sister. For your ex to have cheated on you in the 1st place, ur bro was aware of it. Just let him be, tho u can't change the fact he's ur bro

    ReplyDelete
  147. while I sympathize with your position, I have to tell you that you should respect your brother's decision to keep being friends with your ex, and also to respect his reasons for that decision. That your brother loves his friend doesn't mean he loves or respects you less. There may be a depth to their friendship that you may not understand right now, and getting mad at your brother may be putting him in an awkward position. I remember you saying that YOU broke up with HIM, so in perspective I believe that your dignity is still intact. Ignore your ex, and try to appreciate your brother. who knows...you just might find out what is really going on in his head

  152. You should just shut up first, U are faulting your brother now, How come you are dating his best friend.You betrayed him by dating his best friend, You should have looked before you limp...Did u ever consider ur brother before dating his friend.
    He sure knows his friend is a cheat and wouldn't tell you becos he wanted ur happiness, which he is aware would last for a while.....They are birds of the same feather...So move on and forget about them, Your brother is still family and he wouldn't leave his best friend becos of ur foolishness or lustfulness

    ReplyDelete
  153. Let me dissect this issue.
    First men are logical in their approach to issues like this whilest women are utterly emotional towards it.
    Did you seek you brothers opinion prior to going into a relationship with the dude? Before even becoming friends with the dude, did you try to understand the basis of their friendship? I mean what if this guy has taken a bullet for your brother, which he is never gonna tell you, do you honestly expect him to just ditch him because he had a relationship with and took a dip elsewhere a few times and you bolted out of the ban? Please breathe!!!!

  158. That is why you should not date your brother's friend. It's too risky! FYI it's on rare occasion guys quarrel about babes! It's bros b4 hoes every time. Your brother had no business with your relationship, so why do you expect him to end his on your own accord. Abeg free your brother.

  169. The psych of men is quite different from you ladies. A man can forgive his friends weaknesses in certain things while he cherishes the good things about that friendship. Men don't get as emotionally involved as ladies do. Most guys won't even let their best friends date their sisters but u sisters won't respect that. Let the guy be joor. It's not a support issue.

  179. Nonestly, you are a very selfish, self centered and egocentric person... Your brother is right, what was between you guys should be between you guys, and whats between them is between them... Guys and Girls tick differently.. so dont expect your brother to cut his friend away just because he cheated on you...and for your information, not many guys would!!! itd do you good to amend your relationship with your brother and stop being the obnoxious self centered prick you are portraying yourself to be

  180. Lol. girls can be stupid at times. The bro is right one thing does not affect the other thing. Who send u to date ur bro's friend. since he cheated and y'all broke up .Life goes on. The guy should still have his paddy. If you guys were married and he cheated thats a different story. Women like to bring in unnecessary drama. Which dirty loyalty. Guess what guys are loyal but when its dating that one na OYO. if the guy did that and y'all were marrried then the bro shld cut ties. but till then go and cry blood if u like.

  181. Seriously men are nt like women who make d malice keep moving in circles. Ur brother is rite, ur relationship between u & ur ex was between u 2. And d frndship ur brother has wit ur ex is btw both of them. Moreova he was ur brother`s frnd b4 u guys started dating so y shld their frndship end cos ur no longa dating him. If u`ve truly moved on lyk u claim u have dis shld be d least of ur problem concerning ur past relationship.

  184. Really???!!! Now you are just being stupid and immature. You met the guy through your brother...and now he should stop being friends with him because of your failed relationship??? was your brother in d relationship with the both of you? Clearly you are just looking for people to back you up...if truely you know right from wrong you won't be seeking people's approval or backing. You cannot decide for your brother who he should be friends with or not...you both have different lives and destiny...it is obvious you are still hurt by your ex which is understanable, but if u say you have all moved on...what is your problem young lady??! Please..grow a pair.

  186. You knew they are friends before you dated his mate. You didn't mind his reservation before you went out with his friend. You should put all this thought(in case the relationship end)in your head beforehand. Your brother is just being civil here.
