Question Posted Thursday December 1 2005, 10:05 pm
i asked my ex bf if he loves his gf more and if they have a better relationship than him and i did.
his response was "nah, i feel like shes my best friend."
What does that mean?
He NEVER called/considered me his best friend!
She gave it up on the 2nd night they hung out(cheated on her bf)

By asking him that, you're setting yourself up to not be satisfied with his answer. His answer, however, does not answer your question but instead veers it off, either to avoid answering the question or because he was surprised with your question and fumbled his words.
Either way, you should be focusing on what is now, and stop worrying about things that do not matter. If you knew that his ex-girlfriend has cheated on him, why would you ask such an obvious question such as if they had a better relationship than you and him did when you know the answer? But by bringing up something like this you're hurting him as well as setting yourself up. It's perfectly normal to want to reassure yourself in a relationship but put a little more trust in your man and consider your feelings as well as his. He might think of his ex as his best friend, and that's alright, because you're the only one he's giving extra, special lovin' to. ;) [ Juicygirl's advice column | Ask Juicygirl A Question ]

He gave you that answer so he wouldn't hurt your feelings. So don't put him on the spot like that... if you truly value his friendship... that's not fair.
...You didn't say she was also an "ex" girlfriend. With guys you never ask stuff like that - it just puts them on the spot. Give it a few more years and you'll see that I'm right on this one. I promise.
lastly... YOU asked for honest advice, just because you didn't like it, doesn't mean it's wrong. Good luck with this dude.

**** They may break up often (something you failed to mention) but, they keep getting back together.
If he considers her his best friend, I'm sorry but that's pretty solid relationship.
