Is my best friend REALLY okay with me dating her cousin?

A female Australia age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My 'best friend' and i had a fight a few weeks back, and it was about a sweet 16th party that she wanted to throw with me,(as in a joint party)which never went ahead because neither of us told our parents. The other thing she was mad at me about was that i am dating her cousin (she often encouraged me to start a relationship with him, and has told me many times when i checked with her that it was fine by her, so i thought it was okay.)The fight i had with her was in the classroom at school where she started shouting at me because i asked her whats wrong, and everyone heard the argument. She brought my ex-boyfriend into it, shouting that i got dumped by him, and she was the only friend i had that cared. Throughout the argument, i refrained from saying anything nasty or hurtful about her or to her, because i knew that it wouldnt be a very nice thing to do to her. The argument really shook both of us, and hurt our friendship.

We have tried sorting it out together, and i thought everything would be fine. She told me when we were talking it over she didnt want me to talk about her cousin anymore, and i agreed.But since the argument, i have noticed that many of my friends that she is friends with also havent been talking to me as much, and havent been as nice. I never said anything nasty about her to other people, but i think she may have bitched about me alot, but i really dont know. Additionally, she has been asking me personal questions about her cousin and i who are dating, and i am confused, because i thought she didnt want me to talk about him. She claims to be 'looking out for me' when she asked.

I am very confused about what is going on,and if she really feels okay about me dating her cousin, or if she even wants to be friends anymore.

AgonyAuntBlondiee agony auntThe only person who can really answer this question is your friend. It's really important that you sit down and have a proper chat about what is going on. You need to ask her why is she behaving the way she is. Explain that you are worried about your friendship as you don't want your new relationship to jeapordise your close bond with your friends.

Hope this helps :)
