I'm a little confused about my best friend and what exactly it is she is up to...See, we have been best friends for 9 years, she's like my right arm and we do everything together pretty much (even work together)I always thought she might be bi because she used to be quite touchy feely with girls when we were younger and recently my suspicions were confirmed when she came out about a year ago.I told her nothing would change between us and completely accepted her girlfriend, all was rosy.Until they broke up... they were together for 7months, happy for 2 and broke up 10 months ago!!!!!She says she still isn't over her which i understand completely, hey we all know heartache right? but it does beg the question, why then when we go out is she flirting around boys, including my boyfriend?!?!?! and she refuses to admit she is in the wrong when she does stuff like this! and when we went on holiday she got with a guy! i just don't understand what the hell she is doing, i get that she is probably rebounding but why does she feel the need to be flirty with my boyfriend? and if i dare to say anything she goes all emo?! i don't really want to talk to her at the moment but we work together so awkwaaaaard!!! help?

Boy, part of me wonders if the attention she really wants is yours. You've been best friends forever. Did it cross your mind that she might have been holding in feelings for you?
As far as the flirting with guys, that might just be in fun because she feels comfortable around them not having to worry about attention from them apart from friendship. The fact that she's focused on your boyfriend might just be her way of being focuses on you.
I could be off, but that was my first and strongest thought about all of this.
