Welcome to Love Life, I'm Matthew Hussie. Now do you ever feel like you're stuck in a rut?

We all do from time to time. The problem is just going through the motions,

cuts off our ability to grow and increase our happiness in life.

Now what would happen if you actually began living each and every day with purpose?

Let me tell you, it is possible to transform your life from ordinary to extraordinary

and it doesn't have to take months or years but just a matter of days.

Stick with me till the end of the show and I'll tell you exactly how to do it.

Today we are talking about the contentious subject of whether you should date an ex's friend or a friend's ex.

So really here we're talking about people who are perceived to be off limits.

If your friend just broke up with somebody, should you be dating them?

If they broke up with them five years ago, should you be dating them?

It's a tough subject.

So the first is an issue of ownership. The second is an issue of respect.

And the way these two play out together is going to determine, I think,

whether morally you feel okay with a situation or not.

Now I would argue that the feelings of ownership should naturally in normal human beings decrease over time.

So a breakup that just happened last week, if your friend comes along and decides he's going to be with her or she's going to be with him,

that with your ex partner over a week ago, I would say that that friend is not perhaps someone you want to keep in your life.

But two years on, three years on, is it the same thing?

I would say that a rational human being has to begin to let go, especially if they're out there dating other people.

This is one of the areas I think ownership is a concept that gets ugly is when Mark is out there dating someone else,

but he still can't stand the fact that someone he knows could be dating his girlfriend from a couple of years back.
