Okay so heres the situation.
The guy I like,lives in the same house as my ex-boyfriend and his family.The Guy I like is good friends with my ex-boyfriend and my ex-boyfriends mother,except my ex's mother likes the same guy. My exs mother and I are still close even though her son and I arent together any longer. The new guy is also an ex of mine but we had to break up when he left for school, but now that hes home we both want to pick up where we left off. I dont know how I could do this though because,it would be akward with him living in the same house as my ex, what happens when he answers the phone. Not only that because his mother likes the same guy.I would feel like im stabbing my friend in the back.... HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!!

Someone has to get their own place or a cell phone or some privacy of some kind!

How old is your ex's mom? And how old is the new guy? That sounds... creepy.

Honey, the boy is not a piece of meat or a trophy. He's is a thinking human being with the ability to choose who he wants to be with.

As for what's socially acceptable, AHEM:

Do not date your friend's ex unless they ended on good terms and you are certain that your friend has no more interest. Be sure to check with your friend about it first.

How this rule applies to you:
He's YOUR ex. You get first dibs on getting back together. Mom is the friend who needs to get permission first. New guy is the friend of your ex. Now, guy rules are different, but it's up to him if he decides to risk it and go for the relationship with you. That's his choice, not yours. You are in the social clear.

If it still bothers you, talk to the mom about it. Tell her how you feel, and that you really want to get back together with him. You want her to be ok with your relationship, and you don't want to cause strain on the relationship. If she's a true friend she'll understand and everything will be cool.

In the end, you have to decide if this new relationship is worth the problems it could cause. If it is, then go for it. If it isn't, then don't.
