United States
December 2, 2006 7:17pm CST
I have been with my boyfriend for a very long time, and am very faithful to him, but, I also have a girlfrined who is also my lover occassionally. My boyfriend tollerated her for a long time, but now he is getting jealous and wants me to break it off with her. My girlfriend has even offered to particpate in a 3 way with him but he refuses. His friends think he is crazy. I really love him, and my girlfriend is my best friend. Should I say goodbye to her? I am really upset over this!

What is your boyfriend ... NUTS!!!! He has what every guy dreams of, a girlfriend who is willing to share him "physically" with another woman and all you want in return is to be able to have a "physical" relationship with another woman. Wow! Not to get off topic here ... but you don't by any chance have a sister do you?

Yes, this is the response a lot of people around me have. I am being accused as unfaithful to him, but I would NEVER be with another man, and he had no problems coming into this relationship knowing my about my physical realtionship with my girlfriend. I am being judged hby most on this discussion as the one who is in the wrong. But, I am now thinking, why do I have to be the one who has to make the choice? Is it right to go into a relationship, and then when you think the moment is right, try to force your partner to become something that YOU want them to be, rather than what they really are? Isn't that dishonest?

Of coarse that's dishonest. Listen, he's obviously not bothered by the fact that you love this girl ... because if you weren't sleeping with her, it probably wouldn't bother him at all. I mean you love alot of women. Your Mother, your Sister, your Aunts, your friends - and that doesn't bother him so why should this? Love is love! So it's obviously the physical part that bothers him. Your boyfriend needs to realize that she's not his competition. What he gives you, she can't and visa versa. I just don't get it. Maybe he's just worried that she'll satisfy you more than he can. Or maybe he's just not willing to share your attention with her. There's one way to cure him ... stop hanging around with her and get yourself a couple of "guy" friends. Then watch how quickly his attitude changes! lol!

I am sure you're right about hanging out with other guys lol! But really, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. By the way, sorry no sister, but my girlfriend has a sister ;)

You are lucky to find a friend who is committed to u, dont give second thoughts and learn to live a relationship for him just as he wants it to be you and only you.

But the more I think about, the more I feel he just wants to change me into something that he wants. He doesn't really want who I am.

Well maybe your boyfriend enjoyed the excitement of you having another lover (especially another girl) but is starting to feel really unloved/alone/bored by this. Maybe he doesn't see a real future with someone who also has another girlfriend, I can see his point. This is a matter of choosing between your best friend and a boyfriend, very tough if you ask me. Go with your heart, I wish you the best.

Well, if I blieved that he is bored by this, then I would have to ask myself if that is all he found exciting in me.

Wow, what religion is it that prompts you to judge someone or insult them? And by the way, does your religion approve of the inuedo you used in you most recent post to attract what you label as "perverts" so you can make money from them?

If you really love and treasure you boyfriend, you will break it off with your 'occassional' lover. Do you think that if you explained the situation to her, she would understand? Willing, even, to just be your friend past it all? I mean, if you're really serious about your boyfriend, and he's had enough of it, you realise that you WILL lose him if you do not break it off with her...

I don't think it's fair to be in multiple relationships if you are going to dump someone because the other is jealous, i think jealousy is something that you need to work through and you really need to consider if you are treating your girlfriend fairly.

If you plan to make the relationship with the boyfriend go any further then you will have to break the physical relationship with the lesbian and let her know you can only be a friend. If she can't accept this than you don't have a true friend in her.

You can't have children if you want any with a girl and you can't have it both ways so you are damned if you do and damned if you don't

Well, there come a time when you must choose, and the fact that he prefer you over a 3-some shows that he is truly seriously in love with you. If your best friend really likes youll, shell understand. I do wish you the best of luck Have a nice day!

Well you have to decide, who do you love more. You can't expect your boyfriend to accept it, that is unreasonable, he was tolerant for a long time and now he has had enough. If you truly love him, then you should break off the physical relationship with your best friend. Be careful though, you could be tempted by your girlfriend, so be sure you are ready to commit either way, and stay committed. As far as the three way, I have that fantasy also, but I also fear that it could be weird and make thing awkward down the road. So I can't say it's something I would follow through with if given the chance. So his friends may think he is crazy, but it just shows how important your relationship is to him. Jim

I suggest that you have to make a day just for yourself and ponder. Decide whether you like a man or a woman. There is nothing wrong if you choose a woman since it is your preference anyway as long as you dont cheat. Having both at same time is a form of cheating if the other party does not agree. It is also a form of disrespect for your partners and for your ownself. Again, have time to think about it and clearly decide what you like.

He is probably not going along with it anymore cuz you are prolly showing her more attention than him and im sure that frustrates him. If you say you love him then I guess you have to make a choice.

Presumably your boyfriend knew what the situation was with your girlfriend when you got together, and if it wasn't a deal-breaker for him at that time it's unreasonable for him to expect to change the rules now. BUT the fact that he refuses to do a threesome with your friend suggests that the reason he's changed his mind is that his feelings for you are stronger now than they were then, and he can no longer handle being in a non-monogamous relationship. What you need to do is decide whether your feelings for him have deepened in the same way. If you really love him and don't want to lose him, then yes, you will have to say goodbye to your girlfriend. (Just being friends with her isn't an option, he will still believe you are sleeping together whether you are or not -- that's how jealousy works.) But if you still feel that a monogamous relationship will be too restrictive for you, you should say goodbye to him and find someone else who is willing to accept your girlfriend (and maybe have threesomes!)
