I went out with Adam about three months ago. Before I went out with him, my friend Lanie went out with him. Me and Adam broke up, but we remainded close friends. However, Lanie and Adam started dating again.
Now Lanie won't let Adam talk to me at all anymore! It's so stupid, she thought we were flirting, but I have a boyfriend! Its really annoying, cause now he won't talk to me or else she threatens to break up with him. He'll try to sneak over and talk to me when she's not looking, but sometimes she`ll catch him and get super mad! What should I do? I miss my friend!
Thanks, Haylie.

Friends can be irrational when it comes to guys. Be understanding and tell him that you need to respect her wishes, as he should be doing as well. If he thinks she is too controlling, then he can break up with her. Just make sure that you are not the cause of the problem. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]

Tell her you're not flirting with him. Also, tell her that she's not being such a good girlfriend by telling him who he can & cannot hang out with, because he might get sick of it & dump her. Just ask her what's up. I think she's too paranoid. Either that, or she's just a little psychotic.
MelLeDisko answered Thursday August 31 2006, 11:06 pm: You need to have a serious talk with Lanie. Ask her what's going and why she'd think that you would be flirting with your EX-boyfriend, whenever you already have a boyfriend. Assure her that there's nothing to worry about and she can trust you and her boyfriend, and that you two are merely just friends. And point out that he obviously really likes her if he'll give up talking to one of his friends at the risk of losing her! But just ask her to put herself in her boyfriend's shoes. How would she feel if she suddenly couldn't talk to one of her good guy friends anymore because Adam thought they were flirting with eachother, whenever they both know they wouldn't? But you need to have a talk with your friend Adam, too. He needs to let his girlfriend stop being so controlling and telling him who he can or cannot talk to, he's allowed to talk to his friends. Even his girl ones.
