I have a friend who is very very close to me ever since and until up. He even stayed in our house for some special occasions. Some think that were really having that mutual relationship but they're wrong.Honestly there's nothing really going on between us!We are just so close that even personal matters are also discussed for instance our likes in a certain person for our future partners even the bad and good side of our past relationship.Right now the problem arises when he goes with me again the other night with our old high school friend.I posted we're very happy but her girlfriend post write ups saying she's tired already of my friend's lie...I try to tell her what happen but it seems she is in doubt of believing if it's true.If you're in my situation,,,,,letting go and ignoring my friend would be the best thing?what should be the best thing?

For me loosing a friend or letting go is not the right thing to do. If you are the cause of jealousy of his girlfriend, you can have like a little space so the girl won't be jealous anymore. Or you can actually invite the girl to join your hang outs. the three of you can go out and let her realized that nothing is between the two of you. I've been to that kind of situation. The only difference is that nobody knows that we are in a relationship, then she has a friend, they are very close to another, they eat together.and they even talk anything under the sun. i one day, i was not able to control my emotion, I approached the guy and informed him that we are on or in a relationship and I am jealous with him. he was surprised and my partner heard about the confrontation that I've done and it affects our relationship. I understand the girl in the siatuation. she has the right to feel it. maybe you can give a space to one another or if not possible, the three of you can go out.

actually I've been so good to his girlfriend...in fact i'm trying to reach out so that she will feel at ease with me. I can't with her and even invites her during our outings. I assume that we were already okay but I never thought that she's insecure I may see up until now with me. In fact she wrote a message on my wall telling that I'm lucky because her boyfriend depend on me when I like to roam around but in her case, she was never invited and she's the one who made efforts for them to go out. What can I do!We already have that kind of relationship?To settle I called my friend and ask what happened, he just told me just don't bother her!

I understand both of your situations. This time you have to prolong your patience. the girl is just deeply in love with his boyfriend(who happens to be your close friend). It is a fact that she is really jealousing in you. i know no one can ever change your closeness, it's given but for the sake of their relationship, you have to step back a little bit, but not to far, just one step away.it's really hard to be on that situation.it feels like you were between two big stones. just be more understnding this time.ask your friend that the three of you meet and resolve this issue by explaining to his girlfriend that there is no strings attach between the two of you.

This sounds like a horrible situation to be in and what do you do for the best. I personally don't think that you should lose your best friend because of what he means to you this girl will just have to realise that she can't come between your special relationship and hopefully she will get the message. Situations like this are always painful because you don't want to hurt people but sometimes you have to so you just go with your heart. Good luck hope it works out ok

You are right you havent done anthing wrong at all , I am glad you havent given up on your friendship because I think you would have regretted it and it would make you sad. Sometimes situations like this test our character unfortunately that's life. I think you have made the right choice

I was a bit confused at first but later on i finally decided not to give up our friendship that has been tested for a long time for that mere situation only. In fact I should not be guilty because I never dd anything wrong to make me feel so.

Some people just don't realize that a boy and a girl can be close with one another without an intimate relationship between them. I, too have been in this similar situation in high school. A former boyfriend of my close friend became my close friend , too when my friend left for Japan. I never felt he showed anything unusual towards me to think that he was interested in me. And similarly, I never thought of him special other than just a friend. In 2009, when we had a High School reunion, of course the main topics of discussions were our high school life. A lot asked me if that guy became my boyfriend. I mean, duh?! He was just a friend all these years.

Hello Daisy, it is hard to make an immature listen, especially a very jealous one. But what you had with your friend is special. Let him decide for it. Don't make any move to destroy the friendship. Just ignore the girlfriend as long as you know that your intention of being a friend is true.

You are going to severe a friendship over a jealous girlfriend? Pwee, if she's such a good girlfriend she should be able to understand and should be more trusting. However, you and your friend should know your limits too. Even if nothing is going on between you, it is best not to create situation that would cause suspicions. He already has a partner and he should also consider the feelings of his girlfriend. So this means that you are not the only one supposed to take action. talk among the three of you to come up with a solution and reach an understanding. Don't complicate things

I already personally talk to her and even share our memories with his boyfriend. I also assure her that there will be no relationship more than friends that will going to happen the two of u, I thought we were okay by ten but I'm just surprised she wrote on my wall that i'm better because his boyfriend depend my free time so that we could hang up but in her part as a girlfriend, his boyfriend never did that.

People always think these kind of things. I once had a young friend (male) stay a few weeeks here. And all my family thought we had something going. We didnt. Why cant people just be friends anymore??

people are so malicious and worse if that people is one of our family members. You know sometimes I ask myself, Aren't they confident enough to trust me that they let me grew up correctly with high morale standards?

To me if a friend doesn't believe in me then that person is not much of a friend. If you have a good relationship with this person I wouldn't let anyone cause problems. You know the truth and that is what is important. If others have some problem with it let them. They are not good friends.

I am friends with a guy who has just started seeing a girl, and she doesn't like it when we go out together. We have told her that we have been friends for ten years, and there is no way that I am going to change that now just because she doesn't like it. She should trust the fact that we have never had feelings for each other and she should trust him not to cheat on her. If she doesn't trust him enough to think that he wouldn't cheat then chances are they shouldn't be in a relationship anyway because he can't be the right person for her.

If i were to be selfish, you shouldn't let go of your friend just because his girlfriend is jealous of your relationship. First of all she should know from the very start that your relationship are very platonic. If she couldn't accept that then she's the one who should find somebody else. It wouldn't be fair to your friend if you stay away from him just because the gf is jealous. However, if he asked you a favor to stay away for awhile, then, by all means, leave him alone.

Even though how much I really wanted to be quite but I can't. I don't wanna accept any allegations which is really not true. Good if we are just ordinary person but we are already professionals and have names that needed to be taken care of.

Why is that school friend has to do in the decor? For what I see here, when you getting along well with someone, you share everything with that person and everything is alright don't tell me that you have nothing else going for you too good friend that is the way good relationship begins and leads to marriage. That is the way it began with my "husband".

If I know that there's nothing wrong with what I am doing, then I sure as heck don't owe anybody any explanation. Her girlfriend's got to realize that she is not the only girl in his bf's life: he's also got sisters, cousins, aunts, his mom, and other female friends. Me explaining this to her or to anyone might even be taken the wrong way. So better say nothing, you will never be misquoted that way. As an added measure, I will avoid being too close to my friend from now on. I will never ignore him or let our friendship die out just because someone is too suspicious. But I will lessen the time we spend together or even share. Just to show some sort of respect to the insecure girlfriend.

I'm true to myself that there is really no beyond than friendship in our relationship.I should not ought to give any explanation with her girlfriend but for the sake of letting her understand I tried to give her every single detail so that she will not suspect us anymore but to my dismay just a few minutes ago, she posted in my wall saying that i'm lucky since his boyfriend is dying to ask me out and just depend on my schedule but she said she never experience that where in fact she's the girlfriend. Am I to blame?
