So both the [24M] and [21F] are no longer dating and she doesn't really want to be around him. I would feel the same way in that situation, he had cheated on her and was being a dick. But, there comes a time when my small group of friends meet up and we are all together. It can be awkward and he doesn't really take it well; he tends to make stupid awkward jokes about them once being together. He is not trying to be a dick here, he wants things to be normal and is just really shit at it. 

Is there a way to make things less awkward? They rarely see each other but it is awkward when we all come together. Common sense tells me they really shouldn't be around each other. However, for one to not hang out with our group of friends because the other is there, doesn't really seem fair. I guess what I'm asking is, has anyone had a similar experience, and what happened as time went by?
