It always happens, but it’s rarely a good idea.

In addition to the awkwardness factor when you’re walking past your ex five times a day, don’t forget that you’ll know when they’ve moved on, too: My next-door neighbor dated a guy in our suite (co-ed suite, obviously) for about a year, then they broke up. A week later, there was another girl brushing her teeth with us in the morning. Awkward, not just for my neighbor (she was devastated), but for the rest of the suite, who all felt caught in the middle.
