I have this problem with my boyfriend's bestfriend (guy)... He is getting into my nerves already. He even told his officemate about our fights. Do you think I should start learning how to get along with my boyfriend's bestfriend? Do you think it is important? Why?

He can still choose his brother? Or it looks like I don't have any choice?

Actually, you don't have to be close but at least be friendly to him. So that your bf. will be happy to see that his bestfriend and his gf can be good friend. Your bf. won't be uncomfortable to bring you along when he hangs out with his best freind.

Since he's your boyfriend's best friend, I guess it's significant for him that you two get along with each other. But I do think the best friend went a bit overboard when he told your fights to other unconcerned people. I it would be good for your boy friend to know that you're not comfortable with this, and that he should talk to his friend about it. Regards honey. Hope things get better.

I'm a guy & I have a problem with that whole idea of having to be friends with our partner's friends. I have few close friends. I've been living with my girl friend for over 5 years now. She doesn't know all my friends & I certainly don't know all of her friends. There's a reason why a person is called "my best friend" for a reason. He's "MY" best friend, not hers. She doesn't need to be friends with him/her let alone be close. She's her own person & she makes her own friends. Flip side of that, I don't need to know her friends & they're her friends & not mine for a reason. We do have our mutual friends but I won't go out of my way to be friend a person just because I'm in a relationship.
