A female United States age 30-35, *ennyboo writes:

My boyfriend calls my best friend much more than he calls me.

Sometimes, he'll just spend the whole night on the phone with her and not bother to call me at all. They do little surveys together (they've done atleast around 15 by now) and post their inside jokes from their conversations all over facebook, which haunt me as little reminders.

They've hung out together by themselves a few times too. I think the whole girlfriend's bestfriend/bestfriend's boyfriend general boundaries get stomped on by the two of them. When I'm hanging out with the two by ourselves, I feel like I'm the one who feels like a third wheel instead of my friend. I'm positive they're not romantically interested in one another and they would never do anything awful, but it still hurts me a lot. and i feel like its not fair to me. I never call or flirt with other guys and never have during our relationship.

I don't know what to do about it because I don't want to seem like a controlling girlfriend raging with jealousy and make him stop calling her because they've been at it for quite some time now... if he prefers to call her instead of me, then so be it... I don't want to feel like I'm restraining him.

But this will still keep making me upset.

I have no problem with them getting along and being friends, but I feel like this has gotten to a weird extent.

I don't know whether to attack the situation directly or just let him know that it hurts and knowing that, he can choose what to do.

What should I do about this?!?
