So for some context, me and the fiance started watching How I Met Your Mother a few weeks back and are near the end of season 3. So if you're worried about season 3 spoilers of said show, you might want to stop reading now. "In case spoilers from episodes that aired four years ago are a concern for anyone"
Show
Anyway, in the show Barney just slept with Robin (Ted's ex) and everyone's freaking out about it. I mean Ted freaking out about it? Yeah, Ted has always been obsessive about Robin. But no one is acting like Ted is being weird about this and that's why it's a big deal (because they know that Ted is going to react badly), they're acting like it's genuinely a bad thing for Robin and Barney to sleep together.
And I don't get that1. So, internet, here is the question...
Is this an actual thing, getting upset because a friend slept with one of your exs (who is also a friend of you both)? Or is it just the show being overly dramatic?
If it's an actual thing, can anyone explain it?
________ 1Neither does the fiance.

I'm a gay man working on a military base in a conservative town in a liberal state. My track record for not doing things that "you just don't do" isn't great.
So please. Treat me like an idiot.

The basic thought is that there is a chance they might get back together. By sleeping with a friend's ex, you're ruining any chance they might have in getting back together. Usually after a six month period it's generally okay, but one should still ask permission before-hand in any case.
It's one of those unspoken guy rules. Like the "always take the furthest away urinal when possible" rule.

... wait, so you don't get upset when your ex dates (and presumably sleeps with) someone that isn't a friend, but if it's a friend then somehow they've ****ed up your (not likely) future with the girl?
And the urinal rule makes sense.
