Relationship Q&A

Question:

I think I’m in love with my best friend who is a guy. But at the moment i get very jealous when he talks to other girls or texts them. We’re fighting so much it doesn’t look like were going to be friends for much longer. How can I stop from losing him ? from Amy

Answer:

At this point, the only thing really to do is to explain to him how you feel. Gently tell him that you think you might like him more than a friend and then gauge his reaction. You don’t want to lose him as a friend, but at the same time things can’t keep going the way they are. Maybe he feels the same about you too!

  • I totally know how you feel. I too am in love with my bestie! And I too am totally jealous of all the girls that come and go. I recently told him how I feel. And he knows now... Nothing has happened, but he understands where I stand, and why i don't like the girls that are in and out of his life... Tell him, if he's a true friend, he'll understand, if not, maybe he wasn't worth it to start with... Goodluck!

  • i understand how you feel. im soo jealous of girls talkng to my bestie. i went out with my bestfriend but we broke up for the wrong reasons. we were bestfriends afterwards but we always fought for years and were confused about our relationship/ friendship. we just ended up hurting eachother even more by the things we said that i decided to finally let go. i didnt want things to end this way but sometimes its for the best.

  • My bestie was in love with me and i didnt feel the same so we stopped seeing each other as much especially once i got a boyfriend... and we totally grew apart now i get upset about what happened between us not because i didnt love him or anything because i am in love with the boyfriend but because we couldnt make time for each other and make it work now he lives in America and it just doesnt work.

  • Tell him you are sorry you are acting out but you can't seem to help it and you don't want it to ruin the friendship. Say you dont know if you are being jealous or possessive you havent been able to work it out and see his reaction. You arent admitting to being in love but you are saying something has changed. If he doesnt feel the same way then it could get difficult so best to limit time spent together and get some space and clarity. Good luck :)
