[quote=Anonymous]In most break ups you can't stay neutrally involved with both parties. You end up having to support one side more than the other. If you choose to side with your brother's ex that is kind of a slap in the face to your brother. If you don't have a good relationship with your brother , then there is little to lose.

Some of it depends on how the breakup went down - did the ex dump your brother? did she cheat on him? was he really devastated and hurt by the break up? Did he confide in you at all about the breakup or since the break-up?

If any of those things happened, I wouldn't see her. It is a bit of a betrayal. He doesn't know what you will tell the ex about him or what the ex will ask. He may not want his ex knowing about his life now. Seeing as your brohter is the connecting link between the two of you, he is going to come up as a topic. The ex may be wanting to meet to get info about your brother, who knows.

I would be pretty uncomfortable if I found out my brother was having dinner with my ex. Definitely would not confide in him anymore or see him as being there for me. [/quote]
