OKay. Here is my situation. My best friend, let's call her Rose, likes my boyfriend(let's call him Albert). But aparently, she liked him before he and I were together. Albert and I have been together for 2 and half months. I love him with all my heart and he loves me too. But I have known my friend for 9 years! And she only told me two days ago that she liked him. I hate seeing her in all this pain. Why should my happiness have to cause her pain?! It's just not fair. Not to mention Albert and Rose were good friends in middle school, but then sort of had a falling out. Now all three of us are going into our senior year of high school, and they have finally fixed whatever miscommunication they had in eighth grade. So at first I thought maybe she was just jealous that I had a boyfriend finally, and especially since she knew him before I knew him, she felt that she had some sort of claim on him. But I fell for him;I became friends with him on my own terms in math class this past year, and she had nothing to do with it. However, she tells me that she never stopped liking him from eighth grade, and that he has always been in the back of her mind. Well, I am her best friend, so how come these past four years of high school she hasn't told me?! the three of us have discussed it for hours last night and came to no conclusion. please. anyone tell me what i should do? break up with him? drop her as a friend? any way to keep them both?

you first talk to your best friend saying
"rose, hmm i know this is hard and we've been best friends for nine years and i love you but how come after all this you didn't tell me you still had a crush on my boy friend?"
and than she would give you an answer
and than after she answers you which might be
"because i ididn't know before and i didn't want you to get mad at me."
but than be like your my best freind and i love you but i'm sorry that you have a crush on my boyfriend but right now i love him and he loves me and i really want to be with him even thou you want to too but can't you just be friends with him and be my best friend again?, i hate it that where just fighting over him."
and than and talk to your boyfriend sayin that you love him and you want to be with him but dont tell him that your best friend has a crush on you just be like i dont want you to like be with my friends i mean you can be with them not flirt with them i dont know but you know what i mean like say something
but i say you dont break up with your boy friend and your friend because of this i say you talk to her straight forward about your feelings and than talk to your boyfriend about it a bit
