What shall i do about my boyfriends ex?

I have recently got into a new relationship.

He was in a relationship when we met but he dumped his girlfriend waited a week and asked me out and i accepted.

The thing is he broke up with his at the time girlfriend to be with me..

i have been friends with his at the time girlfriend for about 5 years..

we speak quite often.

i wouldnt say we were best firends but quite good. but we are now in 6 form and dont really speak to each other that much..

i feel really bad becuase im going out with her ex.

she was gonna break up with him but he did it first... they kind of mutually agreed.

i am in love with him and dont want to break up with him but i also feel bad becuase she is a friend

question is.. do i tell her about us.. or get him to tell her or try and keep it a secret from her?

    one word (REBOUND) he waited a week! What a guy! So instead of finishing her or should I say mutually agreeing to finish her, he decided to mend his little broken heart with the next best thing to his ex, the ex,s mate. I know you aren't best mates but speaking often isn't classed as an acquaintance. You should be expecting her to want you as a shoulder to cry on, what are you gonna say, "Sorry cant talk just getting ready for a shag fest with ya ex" How can you be in love with a rat that can drop one girl and run off with the mate! You are making a big mistake keeping this a secret, that is a cop out and secrecy leads to suspicion and slyness! Give the guy a wide berth and be a proper mate to the girl who is now probably missing the arsehole!

    He will do the same to you! How can you treat a friend this way!! I always say, you should do what makes you happy as long as you are hurting no one else. Well I'm sorry but I would not want a friend like you, and as the saying goes ' who needs enemies with friends like you'

    There is no way you are going to keep this a secret. I am surprised she doesn't know already. Best be open and tell her before she hears about it from someone else.

    I have a friend who this was done to and she was heartbroken. Our so caled 'best mate' kept it a secret and we found out from someone else. We haven't spoken to her since. Im sorry but I think you are going to lose her no matter what you do.

    Tell her, my ex did that to me and it was by far the most hurtful thing to find out that they were dating behind my back. Just get it out and tell her.
