[quote=Anonymous]I think these kinds of relationships are tough to manage and maintain OP, especially when the breakup was recent, or painful (as it certainly seems like it might be given her illness). I'd just recommend proceeding carefully, and maybe with a few boundaries in place right up front so the ex doesn't think she can complain about your brother to you, so your brother knows you're not supporting or engaging in badmouthing of him, etc... Maybe keep that rule about "would I be comfortable with what I just said being on the front page of the local newspaper tomorrow" in mind to help maintain some level of neutrality. That's a trick (or versions of that) that I use to police myself when I feel like I'm in dangerous waters of some kind. Good luck. [/quote]
