Bringing Back Old School "Dear Abby"

Posted by Abby Crawford on

I haven't given any advice lately since I re-vamped my blog! I did get this the other day, so I'm going to answer it...if you really want my advice on something...don't be afraid to email in! I'll still do them!

 

Dear Abby,

I'm 24 years old and physically attracted to my best friend's boyfriend. My   best friend, who's been there for me for over 10 years, means the world to me.   I don't want to betray her trust, but my feelings are strong and eating at me.   Her man has 'the hots' for me also. If you were in my shoes, what would YOU   do? I am so confused. How do I address my feelings and the situation?

Dear Torn,

 

Here's the deal...there is a code between friends and significant others that just can't be broken no matter what. You never date your friends' ex's. It makes things so awkward that it gets to the point where the friendship falls apart. If he likes you too, he needs to break up with his girlfriend and then leave the picture....its the respectful thing to do. I know it hurts and sounds unfair...but if my best friend dated one of my ex's...I don't know if I'd be able to forgive her or him.
