Question Posted Thursday February 12 2004, 3:55 pm
So. I liked A. B liked A. Both are my friends, both are female. A and I, C, kissed a few times and I was an idiot. Okay. A and B are now in love with eachother. This happened over one day. I dont give a fuck about A, but I love B. Not like that. She's my best friend. And now Im going to lose her because of A.
Z answered Friday February 13 2004, 10:39 am: Don't want to lose her? Then stick with her, and A be damned. If anything, and this'll sound pretty coldly manipulative, but whatever, if you stay her true friend and leave their relationship alone, chances are A will get jealous of you and her spending time together, and start getting angry, and that's when B will come to you after they fight or whatever, and you can say "I always thought she was a bitch," or whatever you want.
Eventually, it will become C + B vs A. And all you have to do to accomplish it is just be a friend, no trash-talking her choice in significant other, no bullshit arguments or trading off resentful or snide comments with A, play the good person role, fake it 'til you feel it, and don't let A get to you. After all, "The best revenge is a life well-lived."
And if A chooses just to accept you and tolerate your presence around her girlfriend, well, you've still reached the same goal, haven't you? You're friends with B. [ Z's advice column | Ask Z A Question ]

Are you going out with C? If you are...just break it up. You don't care...and never do things with C again before it gets confusing.
Ok...you like A, and B likes A as well...only A and B love eachother...you don't care about A anymore, but B because she's your best friend and you feel your losing her? Ok then...
You should just tell A you like (or liked) her but you feel as if your losing B because they are together.
If you don't want to do that, then first you should tell B your feelings and thoughts about it.
If their responce is being bitchy and crap, then give them time for them to say "sorry." If not, then you don't need people like that in your life.
