Thanks again everybody. Your words really did help me alot.

Listen dude, think things out a bit next time before making your move. A regular friend shouldn't stop you from seeing his ex. Friends fall out all the time and relationships take priority. But a room mate is a different story. You two have to live together. You don't want to cause yourself that kind of pain. Some people are resilient and won't mind, some will. In this case, ask first. Even if you ask, you still risk consequences. Some situations you should stay away from like the plague are dating brothers and best friends ex-girlfriends, and also your ex-girlfriends siblings. You will likely regret it at some point.
