I'm female and I have a girl friend. I think we're not that close but she sits beside me at the office. as teachers, we don't meet all day, because we have to teach our own classes every day. she thinks I'm her best friend, while I don't. she thinks so because she feels so dependant on me, while I dont think I can share my problems with her. it's difficult for me to tell her my problems, so that I can't suppose her as a best friend. the problem is, she's often jealous when I was having fun with other girl friends. this is ridiculous, but she thinks I betray her by doing that. what should I do to make her understand that all friends are the same for me?

wow, this is quite a predicament. To be honest this sounds like your friends problem not yours. My honest advice is to confront her about it. Wait until she gets angry for having fun with your other friends, then ask her about it. This should get the problem out in the open, and for better or worse it it'll be resolved.

Well, if I was in your shoes I would talk directly not in a defensive way but asking straight up, what's up with the jealousy thing? I don't mean to be offensive but would there be a posibility that she may have like a crush on you? Talk to her, tell her that you feel uncomfortable with her behaving like that but you would still like to have a good work relationship. Friendship can't be forced it should come naturally between people.
