4.) Should Guy B have apologized to Guy A about his actions?

1.) How long were they dating? Probably should have waited more than 2 months to date publicly.
2.) If they've only been dating 2 weeks, I'm not clear how much earlier B could have told A. This seems to me like a non-issue.
3.) Of course there is always a risk of that if dating from the same pool. One would think that friends would not be judgmental enough to kick B to the curb, but can't blame A for cutting him out if it really bothers A that much. Shouldn't expect invites to A's parties.
4.) Sure. Or at least apologized for A's hurt feelings.
Seems to me that the main problem is lack of time for break-up wounds to mend. Asking permission to date might be nice, but if you're going to do it anyway, regardless of permission or not, is just a formality, right? Shouldn't be sprung on A by showing up at an event together though. Either the woman or B should have given A a heads up.
I bet it all blows over, but B has to be prepared for worst case scenerio just in case.
