What Code? The Girl Code!

I was catching up on TV series that I haven't been able to watch in a while and there was this episode about the protagonist's bestfriend dating the protagonist's ex-fiancé. Naturally, they had a huge fight about it and the protagonist kept on telling her bestfriend on how she didn't honor the girl code.

What exactly is the girl code? Is it authored by a woman ages ago that the sole purpose of its existence is to prohibit her bestfriend or any of her closest friends to date any one of her exes or the person that she liked/loved? Is it written in stone? Is it notarized? 

On the contrary, it is neither written in stone nor notarized. It isn't written anywhere but probably some middle school girl's slumbook. Yet it is the code that almost all girls around the world stand by.  (Operative word is almost as there are girls who trample the code away.) It's rarely mentioned in a friendship but every girl is supposed to honor it. Just like how you honor the girls scouts' code during elementary school and your sorority's from college onwards. 

If you were in the bestfriend's position would you date your bestfriend's ex or just avoid him for the sake of your friendship? 

I haven't been in this position (thank goodness) but if I were the bestfriend I'd probably lose my mind! It will be tough to decide, because choosing any of them will probably lose you the other.
