I disagree.
While I think a certain time element should be respected, why should someone be off limits for life just because they once had a relationship with a friend? You would need a very wide circle of friends to respect that kind of thinking and still find people to date over time, and it would only get worse every year!
He's your friend - be happy for him.
She's your ex - she must be pretty special for you to ever have been involved with her, so be happy for her, too.
Life's too short for that "bros before hos" kind of frat boy thinking. It's one thing to try to steal a friend's girlfriend, but once the relationship is over, what's the big deal? My "best friend" married my "one that got away" over fifteen years ago (a year after we broke up) and to this day they're two of my best friends. I married a girl that made me forget all about her, and you will, too, someday.
Be happy for them and move on. The view is better from the high road.
And good luck with getting on after that string of bad luck.
