My boyfriend confides things in my best friend that he doesn't tell me

Question - (16 January 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 16 January 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

There's a guy I really like who is really sweet and funny and great. He and I have been talking and getting really close. He always compliments me and tells me that I look pretty. We talk about everything and I tell him things I don't tell anyone else. My best friend is friends with him too. They're chummy and never flirt or anything. When we're all together they act like a couple of goofballs and make fun of me and stuff.

Recently my best friend told me he told HER he was going to have to start taking anti-depressants. He's had a lot of bad things happen to him, but he always seems so happy when we're together. He has never mentioned this to me! Why did he tell her and not me?!?! I thought we were getting close but does he like her more than me? Should I ask him about it? I want him to know I care!!!

I think you need to have a chat with your gal pal and find out what he is to her. You might both be liking him the same amount and this could cause a problem x

He might have been worried about your reaction, so was telling her so it would get back to you without him having to say it. I would gently talk to him about it, and tell him you're there for him. Don't take it personally.

Maybe he's afraid of how you will react. If he likes you more than a friend he's not going to want to tell the girl he likes he's depressed and needs meds. He probably thinks you'll think he has problems and is weak. All men have eagos big or small. He probably doesn't want to scare you off. As for him telling your friend, maybe he wanted to see her reaction first. If you and her are alike he probably figures you react similiar
