I feel threatened that my g/f has a new best friend

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost two years now, and it's been a roller coaster at times. We're at the point where we're arguing a lot... way too much actually due to my sensitivity, her oversensitivity and my insecurities. She admits the insecurities are partiality her fault because whenever she's lied to me at one point about having feelings for someone else. We've worked that out, we've talked about it and we moved on, aside from me having some new trust issues to work through. But our current problem is this: i feel threatened that she has a new best friend. I don't like that she has someone else to talk to about everything and anything, I've always felt special being that one person. I realize I'm being possessive and selfish, but I don't know how to get past it, though I really want to. I know the friend so it's not like she's someone I don't know. I've already talked about it with my girlfriend and she gets aggravated at my jealousness. How do I solve my issues and make this work?

Sorry it's a girl! But I'm a girl also, in case there's any confusion.

YouWish agony auntIs the new best friend a girl or a guy?? You didn't mention!

If it's a girl, you should be happy, because a girl with good friends to confide in is a very happy person indeed. You can't be her everything, and there are things that girls can talk about that simply is tough for her to talk about with you or any other guy.

If her new best friend is a guy, that's a different story. This: "whenever she's lied to me at one point about having feelings for someone else.". She needs to rebuild trust, and that means she doesn't go run off for hours with another guy, friends or not. Her lying has created legitimate trust issues, and those don't just go away with the wave of a wand.

So is her new best friend a guy or a girl?
