No, I am not contradicting myself as I earlier mentioned 'You will not try to bring them together as that will not be nice to any of you' . But actually you made me see a point of view that was not clear to myself. I see it now mainly depending on the reaction of his friend. If his friend gets offended, which is liable to happen as you said and I agree on that, the new bf will have to compromise or decide which relationship is more important for him.
