The first one kinda makes sense but the second one doesn't. They're not friends, like acquaintances at best. And he was only an butthole considering how they broke up and what happened after although we did get an explanation for that. Everyone eventually gets their special someone, so it makes since for his special someone to be someone who'd help him break down his walls

Im so gagged seeing people want more of the side couple I absolutely hate them and skip their scenes, if my ex was a complete ass hole to me I would feel so betrayed by my partners friend dating them and other perspective that If my friend was dating my partners abusive ex I would also feel disgusted, I just hate the dynamic should have stayed as a "love triangle"
