Question Posted Wednesday January 19 2005, 7:20 pm
I have a good friend (Amy), who've been going out with my best guy friend (Jon) for awhile now. Me and Jon do a lot of things together, we're always hanging out. This leads to Amy being jealous of us. Now she's saying we're "together behind closed doors", otherwise, he's cheating on her with me. We both think she's totally crazy, because it's not true at all. She's being super controlling over him. He's not just going to stop hanging out with me, because we've been bestfriends since we were one. He doesn't know what to do, nither do I. He doesn't want to dump her, because he really loves her. But what should we both do to help her realize we're only friends and that's all we'll ever be?

So, maybe one night you could all get together and make her realize your only friends with Jon. You've been friends for too long. Your right. He's not going to ditch you, he can't, friends are the most important thing. But try talking to her. Tell her that you both care about her. If she doesn't have trust in you guys, she won't have a friendship or a relationship. If she loves you both, she'll understand and will accept the fact that you hangout, because your friends.

Make sure that you butter her ego up a bit, because right now it is badly bruised. Tell her how much she means to you, have her bf tell her he loves her etc, and in between explain the nature of your relationship. Tell her its not fair on you for her to ask you to cut a friendship off. You wouldnt ask it of her, and she shouldnt ask it of you. Also keep bringing up the concept of trust, remind her that trust is what makes a friendship. Have her bf point out that if she cant trust him now, the relationship will have similar problems later. All the while tell her that the two of you trust her and ask her to have the same faith in you. [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]
