I have a boyfriend that I've been in a relationship with for about a year. I love him alot, but I can't stand his friend. He even knows his friend is a jerk. My boyfriend has mentioned to me recently that his friend isn't going anywhere. So it seems like I'm the disposable one. I don't want to make him choose between us. He wants me to hang out with him and this friend. I don't know how to tell him no. Also, my boyfriend might be moving to florida with this friend, and he wants me to move with me. I really don't think that I could live with his friend. I would be miserable. So what do you think I should do?

well if it was me, and my friend was getting on your nerves i would ask him to chill out around you. for him not to be rude toward you and watch what he say and do around you. well this is what your b/f should do and his friend as well. but just tell him straight up how you feel and what he does to get on your nerves, but i wouldnt move in with them specaily if the friend is a jerk

Did your boyfriend knows that you are annoyed for his friend? Maybe he love his friend just like a brother, my boyfriend also have a friend whom he cant live without. because they treat each other as brothers, he is the one who help my boyfriend when he was forced to move out with his aunt's house and no one to turn to. I guess both of you should talk about it. It's a matter of friendship and relationship he doesn't have to choose between you and his friend.

Hello Alize, I think a little talk with your BF is must in this situation. You have to discuss about the problem you are facing towards his friend. If your BF loves you truly he would be happy helping you and would try to change his friend or do something that would decrease your problem. Also you must try to adjust with the current situation till any solution of this is found. You must be careful that you don't come in between their friendship as that may affect your relationship. Good luck, Happy Mylotting.

If he really loved you, he would respect what your decision will be. So tell him about his friends before it's too late. Hopefully, he could understand what you feel.

Well Alize If You Don't mind "I want to know ur exact age". Well about your problem I just want to say "Do You Both Love Truely?" Ans)If Yes,then you can share your every feeling with him and if he loves you truely he will understand you. This will Reflect Your Relationship strength which shows how long will both of you will stay together. I know it's a simple matter but my friend every thing's progress or Ends Slowly!

well, if you decided you wanted to move to Florida to be with your boyfriend, you could get your own apartment. I wouldn't be roommates with this friend - it would eventually destroy your relationship. That being said, if your boyfriend is always going to be friends with this guy, and this guy is a jerk, be aware that the situation isn't really going to change. Is this really what you want?

Wow tough one but I would think that if your boyfriend is not willing to make a choice between you and his best friend then you might not be worth it .I am not saying that he should give up his friend but at least talk to him so that he knows you have a problem with his baheaviour .I wont lie if I have a friend I might not be willing to give him up for a woman that I just met or I am not sure about .Please I am not telling you that your boyfriend doesnt care about you I am just saying that he may not be sure about your relationship yet Or it could be that he wants the two most people in his life to work it out .So now the quetsion is can you try to get allong with his friend for your boyfriends sake?

i think you should really think this one out. i think the saying that we are who are friends are is easily forgotten when we're the one in the situation. things happen (in this instance your boyfriend moving to florida) for a reason and i hope that you see fate's reason for making this happen. good luck and genuine and lasting happiness always .

why can't you stand your ground and remind him that his freind is a nuisance to you and its better if the friend takes a back seat and allows you two to be at peace.

Generally we can judge a man by observing the behaviour of his friends. If your BF insure his friend is a jerk and he still choose to move with him, I can't help doubting your BF is a jerk as well. Forgive me if I offend you. Your BF has to make a choice, between you and his friend, between love and friendship, between hetero and homosexuality.

first off I dont think it is a matter of hetero or homosexuality. Some men and women believe their friend can do no wrong, but what i do agree with is generally a guy behaves the same way his friends do. If they are typically jerks then he could be one too, especially if it is like his best friend.

you can seek an opportunity to ask your boyfriend's friend ,how much days he want to live ,if just a few days ,you can receipt ,if he want to live a long days ,tell your boyfriend directly that you want to live together with his friend ,if he love you ,he will consider your feeling .

If your boyfriend can pick that friend over you, he is not worth it. A relationship with a lover, should be first and foremost, a strong friendship. If he cannot prioritize you over his friend, then chances are, you'd be getting a divorce later anyway.

Well I think you need to talk to your Boyfriend about this as either way it is going to get to the stage where it will break up the Relationship, his Friend does not have to be there all the time, you need time alone, if your b/f wants you to move with him that is fine, but you tell him you do not want his Friend living with you both, so I think it is time to have a long talk

Do you think it could be possible that you could like his friend if you got to know him a little better. It really depends on how serious you are about this boyfriend. Is he the one? Do you see yourself spending the rest of your life with him? If so then your life and his will be a lot better if you can learn to get a long with his friend. Obviously your boyfriend is not getting rid of this guy even though he knows he has been a jerk to you. If you and his friend care about your boyfriend then you should try to make a pact with him to try to get along. Maybe invite him to lunch or something and tell him you both care about your boyfriend and it would be better for all of you if you could get along.

I think you should be honest with your boy friend... Tell him what you feel about his friend...That you are not comfortable with him...There are things that really cannot be put or mixed together...

everyone deserves to be loved, but lady you must know signs if your partner loves or accept you. we are all born with instincs, in your words i think your boyfriend doesnt want to accept your love and attention, why? because we all live in the crazy world called "love" and sometimes its good or unfair.. but loving someone like your boyfriend i think its unfair were you were giving all your love or attention towards him and he give his to so called friend. wake up girl, you deserve someone much better.. just an advice.. well if you really love your boyfriend then you have to accept his friend and live with it all the time. but girl i dont want to eat on a plate with three spoon. couples are for two. think about that. =)

You need to tell your boyfriend the real feeling. I think he can know you well. If the time is short, maybe you can try to accept. Otherwise, you will be not happy when you live together. Maybe you can say you only want to stay with him, and do not need other people to share your loving.
