I have a boyfriend, David. His ex-girlfriend is my best friend. I made the mistake of allowing him to come over while she was over. I know that he has no feelings for her what-so-ever, but she likes him. She was hanging all over him. I couldn't get her to stop.Now she is saying how she wants him back, she won't get him, but how do I get her to leave us alone without being mean?

Whatever answered Monday January 5 2004, 6:24 pm: If she really was your TRUE FRIEND as you think she is, she would leave the two of you alone. A boyfriend is not "some thing" you could borrow or take back whenever you feel like it. That's just wrong. So if I were you, you and your boyfriend should try avoiding her. If you find yourself in a situation where you have to discuss this with her just tell her exactly how you feel but say it without being rude otherwise you loose. If she doesn't consider your feelings then she is not a friend at all...I'm sure you have other friends who's worth your while. [ Whatever's advice column | Ask Whatever A Question ]

At some point, HE needs to make it clear that whatever they had is now over...that's not your responsibility. And besides, she may not listen to you, anyway.

FernGully answered Monday January 5 2004, 3:49 pm: Um in this situation you should be mean. This girl isnt acting like your best friend in any way shape or form. That is not something best friends do.
If you dont want to lose her as a friend then talk to her civilly, tell her that this is something you can no longer put up with and that either she stops now or your friendship will be over. If she chooses to stop and realizes she has hurt you then she is a good friend who made a mistake. If she continues then this girl values a boy over your friendship and clearly then, is no friend at all. [ FernGully's advice column | Ask FernGully A Question ]

Or try telling her that there is another guy out there waiting for her and she shouldn't be hung up on someone who doesn't like her back. [ SilverLilly's advice column | Ask SilverLilly A Question ]

Aslo tell her how he doesnt want her back. If this will ruine one of the relationships. You're going to have to choose.
