who would you chose your best friend or new boyfriend?

Me and my friend have been best friends for a number of years. But now our friendship has fallen apart. You see our friendship had everything that a friendship should had and most of all it had love. We have been threw to much together. She was all ways there for me and I for her. We could talk about anything. We created so many fun memeories together. Not only did we get alone but our families did too. We would have cook outs,go on family vactions together, surported each other in what ever it was we wanted to do in life. We always gave each other our honest opinion about everything. Now my friend is seprated from her husband and have been for a year now. Now she's dating this guy whom she thinks is the world. I know she's in love with him but at the same time she and I both know that they have no futrue together. At the same time she treats me like an outsider,as if we never had a true friendship. why she can't love him and still treat me as a friend which I was before him.

    Well if you were her true friend then you wouldn't make her choose. My best advice to you would be just to be there for her and support her until she realizes this guy isn't the one for her. In the long run she will see that she did you wrong and ask for your forgivness. Just stick by her side like you always have and be the greatest friend.

    The key is to accept the position you are in gracefully. There is no need to start acting badly and make matters worse. Stop for a moment and take a hard look at why you both are in this situation.

    friendship is not a bad thing . So y not u say it and say u luv her ..

    OK, so you put a wrench in the plans by telling her too early that you had strong feelings for her. What should you do to win her back? You need to put some balance back into this relationship.

    There are many people out there that will do strange things for love or think they are in love. (Ex. shuting out all friends and family) They do this for many reasons (too many to get into) I personally would talk to her and express how you feel, tell her that you love her dearly as a friend and dont wany anything to come between that. She may not know how you are feeling. DONT sit and tell her that he is not right for her, that will only push her away more, just be there for her and support her NO MATTER what she decides. Blood is thicker then water and a friendship like yours to me is family, and NO MAN OR WOMAN should come between that. Family will always be there, the others will leave. Just talk to her!!!!

    Right now it sounds a tho she's terribly confused.

    And when she sees you, it reminds her of all the good times that you've had together, as well as her overall past good life. She's only fooling herself, and if she doesnt choose to confide in your relationship any longer, I would not force it. She may come around in time. You can be there for her, if you so choose. Until then, dont beat yourself up, for something that you're unable to resolve. It's HER choice.

    I would choose my best friend, this relationship is obviously not serious, tell her you dont understand why shes treating you this way you didnt do anything to her, but if shes going to be like that, then just stop calling her and what not, she will get the hint and will come back around sooner or later... dont worry :)

    wow im sure this is so hard and had a similar problem when my best friend from childhood when she got married

    allow her to do this she obviously needs to feel connected to a man

    write her a letter tell her you miss her and your feelings are hurt by you not feeling involved with her dont be confrontational) i am currently going through a divorce and have reconnected with my friends but i probably will get absorbed in a boyfriend when i find a good enough guy

    it is very hard to adjust to not having a husband so try to be patient with her

    but your feelings are valad and should be heard

    well they way i look at it...is that she is still sad that she is seperated..so she is trying to keep her mind off of him...so she is with this new guy...and it might look like she is in love with him..but in her mind ...everytime she is with him she is prolly thinkin about her ex...tell her how you feel..that you feel left out..and you miss the old days..that your still here for her...dont give up on her...she is going through a rough time..i would still choose my bestfriend over any guy but right now she just wants some one to hold her...and tell her shes beautiful and what not..so dont get mad at her..just call her..and tell her exactly how you feel...let her know..calmly and see what she says..im sure she is not doing it on purpose...hope that helps you

    I would choose my best friend over anyone even though my best friend did the same thing to me as well I peronally think that your friend is just trying to find love and she is willing to find it so maybe ignore her would possibly be the best thing for you to do good luck !

    after a while your boyfriend is your best friend. although in the 'honeymoon period' everything else is ignored, i wouldnt take it so much to heart, just be a real friend when and if this all goes wrong.
