Published on September 10, 2019, Robert Burale, a Kenyan pastor and relationship expert, has cautioned men against dating their friends' ex-lovers.
According to Burale, men should maintain healthy boundaries with their friends' partners, avoiding romantic entanglements that could damage friendships.
He also shared a list of 'dos and don'ts' for men, emphasizing the importance of being each other's keeper and respecting personal space.
Some of the unwritten laws for gentlemen, as outlined by Burale, include:
- Never going behind a friend's back to talk to their partner.
- Not hugging a fellow man tightly unless absolutely necessary.
- Not holding a fellow man's hand when talking casually.
- Not placing a hand on a man's thighs when stressing a point during conversation.
- Not allowing affectionate expressions like 'awwwww' when talking to a fellow man.
- Not trying to get with a fellow man's ex.
- Leaving no man behind, as part of the 'bro code'.
