Would you say this is "Talking Behind someones back."?!?

Okay, so I've been wondering this. I'll explain this by using a "story thing", or an example:

So, let's say you have a friend, you love them so much, there like a sister to you, but like every wonderful best friend/sister do stuff to make you mad, to fight, and to hate each other sometimes. So let's say this friend has done something, or always does something that irritates you. If you went to another friend, and talked about it, would that be talking behind your other friends back? Not like talking about them bad, but explaining, and talking about how this can make you mad. If you all think this is talking behind your friends back, I want to know because if so I need to stop. I'd never want to hurt any of my friends on purpose. I've never really thought about this in a "talking behind your friends back" type thing, but now I just wonder if my friend did find out, if they'd think I was talking about them behind there back. I really don't want to hurt her, she's like my sister just somethings really upset me, and I need another good friend like a sister I can trust to talk to.

So please tell me what you think don't hold back, I just need some advice!

Okay, thanks!

Update:

Just to throw this out there, of course I've said these things to my friends face, she's said them right back.

Just sometimes we're so much a like, and so hard headed.. that we don't want to listen to the truth. I'm really not saying bad things. My friend just gets mad over stupid thing, and can be really immature, about stupid crap.

    The thing is,, would you say this to the friend you we're talking about to her face? No, idont see this as talking bad, you were just explaining your problems to your other friend, there's nothing wrong with that, but if your friend were to find out would she be mad?? Think about it.. if ur scared of getting caught its bcus ur doing something ur not supposed to be doing,,

    I'd say no, well... not really. As long as your not talking about them badly then its fine to let off steam and ask for advice. Everyone needs someone to talk to, whether its about ur best friend or not.

    Don't worry, it's normal to feel guilty about talking about ur bestie. But as long as you have good intentions and just want to explain, it's fine

    it isn't really bad

    but if your friend found out she'd make it seem bad.
