My ex-boyfriend is a man of God. We broke up last year after four good years of dating. It was simply a relationship that had reached its expiration date, so we both decided to let it go.

Just three days after we said our goodbyes, I heard that he was already in a relationship with another woman. He takes her everywhere he goes, and whenever I see them together, his smile is wide and genuine, something I hadn’t seen from him for quite some time before we broke up. The only thing is that this woman also has a reputation for chasing my male friends and professing love to them. That doesn’t bother me because it is her life and her choice.

My ex-boyfriend and I have a mutual friend, Jake. Ever since he heard about our breakup, he has been asking me out. He is also a man of God, and he stood by me throughout last year, helping me heal from the pain of my breakup.

I am scared of what people will say if I accept him. They host programs and invite each other as guests, and they are always together because they are close friends.

The truth is, I think he has liked me ever since I was still with my ex. I could tell from the way he related with me, but he never tried to cross any boundaries while I was in the relationship. He has always been respectful and measured in the way he carries himself around me.

Now I do not know what to do. He tells me he is more than ready for marriage, and he says he does not care if pursuing me destroys his friendship with my ex. I honestly do not know whether to take that seriously or if he is simply speaking from a place of emotion.

He also believes my ex left me because of the other woman. He has been very open about his feelings for me, and he says he has loved me for a very long time and wants to make me his wife.

I do not want to come between two friends who are bonded not only by friendship but also by their faith. I am confused about what my next step should be.

What do I do?
