boyfriend jealous because my best friend is a hott guy
Question Posted Saturday August 26 2006, 1:21 am
My boyfriend and I have been going out for about 4 months now. Are relationship is normally awesome. But lately he has been accusing me of cheating on him with my best friend who is a guy (who is really hott) His looks has nothin to do with our friendship. But I am completely dedicated to my boyfriend and only him. I tell him that time and time again. But the only way our relationship is going to last is if he accepts the fact that my best friend is going to always be a big part of my life. So if anyone had any suggestions on how to get my boyfriend to understand it would be really appreciated.

MelLeDisko answered Saturday August 26 2006, 5:34 pm: I would have a serious talk with your boyfriend. Just ask him if he wants this relationship to work, he can't be accusing you of cheating on him with your bestfriend. And he should know you'd never do that. You only think of him as a friend, and nothing more. And tell him that he means alot to you and you really like him and don't want anybody else. And also be like," I wouldn't date you for four months if I didn't really want to date you. And only you. Why would I want to ruin four awsome months by cheating on you with my BEST FRIEND?" Guys are always getting jealous over this kind of stuff. You also should mention about the girls he's friends with. Just be like,"Well, you talk to girls and I don't get jealous of them at all. [ And if he has a girl best friend too. ] I don't accuse you two of getting together or anything, because I don't think you would. I trust you, just like you should trust me. I know you care about me, like you should know I care about you." I hope I helped. <3 [ MelLeDisko's advice column | Ask MelLeDisko A Question ]

Jemma answered Saturday August 26 2006, 8:05 am: well....it sounds like your boyfriend is accusing you of cheating not because he thinks that you are but because you have another man in your life to look out for you and take care of you. Your boyfriend obviously doesn't like that because to be honest no man does, every man who is going out with someone wants to be the only man to protect them and look after them and doesn’t want or need anyone else help to do so, if you get upset your boyfriend wants you to go to him, and not your best friend. It also doesn't help that your best friend is fit, and you probably tell him thing's you don't tell your boyfriend, just imagine his best friend was a really fit girl and think how insecure you would feel. I know you regard both of them highly and spend equal time with them, but if you see yourself being with your boyfriend long term try spend a bit more time with him, your best friend will understand and will still be there for you to fall back on. If thing's don’t change after a while remember that friends are forever and boyfriends come and go. Hope I helped love jem xxxxxxxxxx [ Jemma's advice column | Ask Jemma A Question ]
