I'm sorry, if this happened to me I would be so pissed off. I think you're grasping for straws, so to speak, when you give your reason's for not continuing the friendship. First, a friend should never date another friend's anything,not if you are good friends, it's disrespectful if she does.
It's not the "norm" for people who have had any kind of relationship,to remain friends, when the relationship ends. I know it happens, but more don't, than do. I find it interesting that he would want to continue the friendship, but then his "open marriage" says alot. He probably is going to have an "open relationship", kinda what the two of you had, except she let him move in, and he wants to keep all options available. If that's you thing...then I say yeah!
If I was you, I would have them over and tell them exactly how you feel, it's a really funny thing about people, that I have discovered - they can usually handle the truth. Just tell them how you feel, and just like the old saying goes, "the truth shall set you free".
