I think it is wrong to stay in a relationship with my boyfriend while I love his best friend, but I don't know what to do.

A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I like this guy name "Eric" for a while before telling one of my close friends about my little crush for him. So she comes up with a plan to slip him a note into this books one day saying I like him. I eventually give in and wrote a very brief note that plainly states, "I like you do you like me?" which I included my name at the bottom. Turns out all he only thinks of me as a friend. I was kind of embarrassed and sad about the whole thing. I eventually stopped talking to him and lost contact when school ended for the summer.

Then I met "Cory" at the begining of the new school year. Cory is a very sweet and nice guy. I dated him for a about a week when he finally intoduced me to his friends. Turns out his best friend is Eric, the same guy who I had liked. While I was dating Cory I got a chance to get to know Eric a little better than when we were just classmates last year. Over time I started to develope feelings for Eric again. The feelings grew more and more strongly each time I saw him and I saw him a lot since he was my boyfriend's best friend. It reached to a point where I can honestly say I am in love with him. I do have his number, which I occasionally call to see how he's doing. One time we both engaged in a deep conversation over the phone for two hours at night. I enjou talking to Eric more than talking to Cory because I feel we have more in common. Now I rarely enjoy my time with Cory unless Eric is with him. As far as I know Eric thinks of me as his bestfriend's girlfriend, and nothing more than that. I think it is wrong to stay in a relationship with Cory while I love his best friend, but i dont know what to do. What should I do in my situation?

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

hey well i decided to break up with Cory because i dont love him and i dont want him. It wasnt a big shock to him anyways because he told me he knew that i had liked Eric before we started going out since i guess best friends tell each ither everything. I want Eric, but since he doesnt like me back. Im going to stop all contact with him. I saw him in the hall yesterday, but i ignored him and walked past him, Im pretty sure he saw me to but since we both said nothing, i guess thats that. Nothing more i can do until i find myself another guy who his best friend can't get in the way of our relationship. I got my eye on this cute guy in my math class, i wonder how this is going to turn out. Well thats all the update I got... thanks for the replies i really appriciate it.

maybe you like eric because you cant have him and you did initally like him in the first place.

it does seem like you've subconciously shunned cory because eric was involved again

its a tricky situation because even if you did break up with cory, eric still might not be into you. but if you are genuinely unhappy with cory staying with him would just make you resentful.

it would be silly to anything without being honest with yourself. did you really like cory? do you really want to give up everything you've built up with cory?

if it is eric you like then i would break up with cory but not to be with eric, otherwise you may upset cory unnecessarily
