THE FUSE

Very few social dilemmas are as messy and explosive as this one: your social circles overlap, relationship dynamics change, and suddenly you start to see your friend’s ex a little differently. Maybe it’s proximity, timing, or just one of those uncomfortable human situations that feels straight out of a reality show. We can’t help the fact that attraction is natural, but acting on it and dating a friend’s ex? Well, that can threaten even the most stable relationships.
