I feel like jerry is ignoring the fact that the girl was so heartbroken and her mental health so crushed by the boyfriend and the breakup that she lost her job....something very ugly happened there. Its totally different when breakups are mutual and respectful and nice. This was not 2 people agreeing they werent right for eachother. He hurt her tremendously. As her friend, even an acquaintance, I could not date THAT guy.
Bruh if one of my friends dated one of my exes after seeing how crushed i was in the breakup, i just couldnt deal with that. It just makes it worse that im good friends with my ex because that would not only throw off the entire friend dynamic between everyone and me but id have to hangout with two of my good friends (one being my ex) and see them be all lovey dovey while im the third wheel. Ew! I even had to stop hanging out with two of my (in retrospect shitty) friends at one point because they started dating and our friend trio was now just me trying to ignore them making out all the time and being gross and just be on my phone alone. Nasty shit, honestly. Call me immature or repressed or a prude or whatever but that stuff makes my skin crawl worse than any horror movie ever could! I guess i really dont enjoy others making a unilateral decision to change the whole dynamic of whats going on and expecting me to go along like everything is normal when it obviously isnt anymore.
If it doesn’t start on the right foot it will end wrong foot. Save yourself from the mess. Good friends are hard to find especially when you are older and life happens.
First story - even if it was an amicable breakup, I feel it is just odd to continue dating within your small friendship pod? Literally go meet new people. Also, as a woman, the amount of times friendships with men breakoff because they realise youre not interested in dating them is too many to count, so when your ex then dates a best friend? Makes it feel like the ex was just waiting in the wings for his oppotunity. Its icky
Again i agree with Jerry on story 3. She could tell the girl hey i shouldve just admitted that i like him too. Sorry for hiding it lol. Done. Simply conversation. It does look shady if our writer ends up going on a date with him after her coworker admitted her feelings. I just think itd be the nice thing to do so shes not blindsided seeing you go after him AFTER she told you how she felt.
Story 3: ladies if you find out your friend likes the same person you do, admit your feelings IMMEDIATELY. Be honest. Esp if youve had the feelings for a while. (Yes i agree with Jerry. Wrote this right away lol. Hes right) If you admit it later on, it makes you look shady. Just be honest 😊
30:25 I adore you Jerry 🎉❤ your views are so perfect but unfortunately not common lol I agree whole heatedly but know I'm in the minority 😅 I relate to that frustration in your voice so much
Same 💗💗💗 i genuinely just want anyone in my life to find their person, regardless of crossed connections. I was weird from the get-go though. My very first "boyfriend" (2 weeks, 6th grade so consider that what you will lol) dumped me when the most popular girl in class started showing interest in him. I literally said "...no I totally understand dude" and encouraged him to go for it 😭. Who was I to get in the way of his chance with the queen of our class?? 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry Podfather(love it lol), i usually am with ya. I usually aspire to have the same mindset you do. But for the first story I'm with Morgan. Idc if my fiance and I ended amicably, my best friend better stay the fuck away from him. (Excuse my language. Just had to hit home how serious I am about it 😅). I know she wouldnt for many reasons. But mainly because shes my friend. Thatd make me feel like while we were together she had feelings for him then. There are too many ppl in the world for friends to go for friends exes.
I admire that Jerry thinks everyone loves as hard as he does. He loves ppl so much he wants to see them happy even after the pain of splitting up ❤
Jerry really is just a special kind of person hahaha

Who needs notifications when my body can sense that a video is posted 😂💕
Prayers for LA 💙
Absolutely no dating a friends’s ex. That is a severe violation of the friendship.
3:32 the pod father is so perfect and fitting ❤😊
the first 20 minutes pissed me off someone need to teach jerry girl code
For real. Girl code = don't date your friends' exes
Stop this is such a fun topic line for father knows
It was a tough one hahah What do you think the girl code standard is?
@FatherKnowsSomething Don't date your friends exes!! The #1 rule of girl code
I needed this today so badly.

Ohhhhhhhh Jerry bless your heart

i think it’s more of morality than loyalty and saying “friends can’t date exs”
think of it as the principle not the situation

Should have FKS / THT code: give names, not letters. No one would be any wiser if you just gave a fake name
