how would you deal with your close friend who wants to still your partner?

well, that's a really hard one... she doesn't want to lose the guy and the friend... i think maybe the best solution there is to first talk to the friend... why is she doing this kind of stuff? is your friendship not important to her? or does he really like the guy than your friendship... if your friend is way too shy to ask your other friend then maybe you could do her a favor and ask her since your all friends... right? then maybe after that tell your friend to ask her boyfriend if he already likes your other friend than her... and even though it might be the hardest thing to do for her... she should be able to ask the guy... cause maybe the guy doen't want her anymore or just blinded by the other girls flirty actions and still love your friend... either way at least she could save one of her relationship the friend or the guy... if the guy loves the other girl already it's really best to move on... and just accept the facts... she'll eventually find the right guy for her in the near future...

oooh that's a hard one.. However, there's really nothing that you can do about it but hope for the best of your friends. its going to hurt and you'll prolly hear A LOT about it for a while if the current couple breaks up, but in all reality it's up to the boyfriend, it sounds. I can tell you one thing if the boyfriend stays with his current partner and doesn't really want to besides not hurting someone and he regrets it, that will be worse in the long run than if he just ends it. If you know what I mean. But you need to stay supportive for all ends, even though it may be difficult. Hopefully if they are all your friends, they won't go to the extent of making you chose... Hope all goes well...
