Please keep my anonymous other wise things could get iffy.

Right I in a loving relationship and I am very happy with my boyfriend, I have been with him for 9 months now and I would not ask for anything different, he makes me happy when I am sad andkeeps me entertainded.

Your proberly thinking so whats the problem, the thing is my best guy friend has managed to get him self is first every proper girlfriend, which I am happy about but why do I feel annoyed that he's happy.

What is wrong with me???:s-smilie:

Maybe you're used to him being around with you continually, since you're best mates, and now you're worried his new girl's gonna take time away that you two used to share, so you won't be close anymore?

Have you thought of it like that

I guess I havent thought of it like that.. we used to have a real connection and stay up till dawn talking about anything and everything. We could hold hands tickle and just have a laugh

You want to date him and your boyfriend and you're sad you can't have your cake and eat it too.

IMO.

You hold hands with your best male friend? ^o)
Personally I'd be more worried for your boyfriend than for you.

I can understand that. You have a boyfriend, but you also have this guy you rely on and who is essentially a platonic boyfriend. And now he has someone else. It's a change and it might mean you see less of him or that he will become closer to another girl than to you. But ultimately you have to try to distance yourself from these selfish emotions. Either you have realised that you love your best friend, or you should be happy for him. If it's the first option then things are tricky, if the second then just try to look at this rationally.

No seriously I do not want to date my best friend. I only have room for my boyfriend. As Democracy has said I am worried that I am not going to be seeing my guy friend as much as a had before.

It is like our friendship has changed now and it's mourning that i gotta accept that it is in the past....

It doesn't mean anything bout me and my guy mate with holding hands as I do this with my very close girl friend but people think its odd cause its a guy...

I am happy for him very very happy for him and I am going to do jus that take a step back from the friendship so we can both be happy and take a time out.

Well you can't have the best of both worlds, accept that your friend has a new girlfriend, no reason why you two can't still hang out together.

I feel a little bit sorry for your boyfriend.

It's pretty obvious what you want to hear(OP), why do you need other people to confirm it?:mad:

Why my boyfriend knows about me and my best friend staying up till dawn chatting andhaving a laugh. Would it be different if my best friend was a girl and we stayed up till dawn chatting? I think people would take it differently.

But most my friends are guy im more of a tom boy than a girly girl... therefore, my friends are guys and i spend time with them.

I am very very happy for my best friend

How does your boyfriend feel about it?

Reply 14

My boyfriend has always been cool bout me and my best friend and has said that he would feel like he's losing something bout himself if that happened to him, so i guess I didnt apply it to myself. He is so good he loves me and feels proud of me. :smile:

Well just cut this other guy some slack, naturally he will want to spend some time with his new girlfriend, I really can't understand why you are feeling annoyed about him being happy when you say you are happy with your boyfriend.

It sounds from much of what you say that you were pretty much half a pace removed from dating your male friend and now you are jealous he has his own girl.

Reply 17

I understand how you feel, i've been in that position too. Unfortunately there was an underlying situation between me and the girl (we had previously been friends but she'd been a bitch to me) and i lost my best friend to her completely, we barely talk anymore. I'm not saying this will happen to you and your friend. At the moment he is probably caught up in the excitement of a new relationship in time it will die down and he will realise he needs to make time for you as well as his girlfriend. Worst case scenario; she will get jealous of your friendship with him and stop him seeing you, just keep that in mind.

thanks i will keep that in mind i am going to take a step back for a while just so things can chill and he can be with his girlfriend for a while enjoy the time of something new

I think the OP just doesn't know or want to admit she's fallen in love with her best guy friend.
