What would you do if you found out that your mother was in love with your best friend?

Personally, I would be happy for my mother, as she has been alone for a long time. However, I would feel sorry for anyone who had a relationship with my best friend.

When it comes down to the wire, if both adults are consenting, the best any of us can do is to grin and bear with it.

This happened to my friend who is 20 years older than me. She was a cool woman that used to hang out with her two kids and I was a friend of her daughters too. Her daughter told me one night down the pub that her mum and brothers best mate were seeing each other. (Even I was shocked at first)! They had told her but not him. Why? They were scared of his reaction-not trying to hide things from him. His inital reaction was anger and discust but he soon got used to the idea. I know they are still together 13 years on. I appreciate you will naturally have those sort of feelings

toward their relationship. But hope you will soon understand that they never chose that situation-it chose them! Hope it all works out for you and them!

Well frankly, i think you have the right to be PISSED! Your best friend should know to respect you better than that and your mom should have also. This comes across as a lie or secret that they hid from you, thats wrong.

I think that they should have thought ore about your concerns on this topic and that you can either cope with whats going on, or block them out. So sorry that thsi happened to you, and i hope the best for you in this situation.

Ah it's like desperate housewives all over again!

Talk to tyour mum and tell her how it makes you feel, you know, that it actually makes you feel quite awkward and uncomfortable.

Don't break off your relationship with your mum or your best friend, more love in the world is a good thing.

You need to be ok with it, my dad was seeing somebody that I did go to school with along time ago that is only a year older than me, thay got a son together so her son and me are half brothers and sisters and I done learn to deal with it and I also like my stepmother.

tht depends on hw u feel bout the entire thing, its ur mum n best friend after all, there's bound to be some negative feeling regarding the whole thing, if u feel uncomfortable with it just tell them tht....u have every right too....if not well & good, tell them to go for it if its possible.

uhm well if you're not comfortable with it let them know, but don't assume that they'll stop dating because you ask them to. Don't sabotage their relationship though... that never works out

Uh I would be pretty mad but I would talk it over with them

akwaaaaaaaard. man that's just not cool, but i think you should just support your mom in any decision she makes

no one should have to be lonely
