Hate to think of them together - my best friend and her boyfriend who I started to like before they even dated!

Tagged as: Friends, Three is a crowd<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (4 September 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 5 September 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My best friend, let's call her Rachel, is going out with this boy, let's call him Joe. They were good friends for nearly a year, and I met him through her, so we're friends too. Anyway that's just 'setting the scene' .. basically, I started to like Joe, and about a month or two after that it turned out that he liked Rachel, and she also liked him. So yeah now they're going out. Oh yeah, Rachel found out before they started going out that I like Joe, but then i told her that i didn't really have feelings for him anymore, so she thinks i'm over him.

Anyway, I know it sounds dumb but what bothers me is just knowing that they, er, 'do things' together.. it makes me feel sort of sick (not in a 'grossed-out' way) and upset. I want to get over him but I can't seem to ignore my feelings for him.

Oh and sorry if I've been confusing in explaining the situation.!

starismine1 agony auntHonesty is the best policy, you owed it to yourself to tell your friend that you liked him. But she probably senses this anyway and would have still dated him. If you feel upset to the point of being sick about the situation, you have to level with your friend about how you feel, and distance yourself from the friendship.

babybiy agony auntyou should've told your feeling towards "joe".

Anyways tell "Rachelle" that you like him and then tell him that you have feeling for him.

if your friend is still together with the guy you like then she isnt really a good friend because a real friend would not want to date a guy that u two both like.
