Is it wrong for your friend to ask your boyfriend to a dance?
Question Posted Tuesday October 21 2008, 5:19 pm
Hey. This is a story in continuation. My boyfriend wrote me a note today, and he said he would write my best friend a note too. when my best friend didn't get a note, she was complaining to my boyfriend about how she didn't get a note. Its so hard for me to handle this because i'm just sitting there thinking....why the fuck does it matter if he gives you a note? Just because he kisses me it doesn't mean he has to kiss you too.... In the first question, I mentioned that she had been flirting with him. I really want to brake up with him because I think he likes the fact that she flirts with him. He doesn't want to be mine really. If he did, he wouldn't let her flirt with him. And the fact that she always comes running to me all happy and giddy after the class that she had with him showed that he was flirting back. One day I decided to test her. I had just had lunch with him, and earlier on in the day she was happy. I acted all happy and excited pretending that something had happened between me and my boyfriend, before he was my boyfriend. One of my friends asked me why I was so happy, I was just like. I don't know! I really like Joe. Then my so called best friend went deppressed...in like 2 seconds! it was weird. then i realized that she had a thing for him. Today she decided to invite him to a dance at her church. Normally when I ask him if he wants to hang out he doesn't try to ask his mother. But this time when my friend asked him, he asked her to go with him to go ask him mom. Its really sad, but i have to do what i have to do. My ex best friend by the way once told me this..."when i see a girl happy, i get this feeling inside me that says, GO GET HER". I am going to brake up with him, but i just want to figure out if i'm doing the right thing. My heart feels heavy, and i can't take the weight anymore. So if you guys can help me, i would really appreciate it so much. thank you for your responses.:D Would it be better to dump him on the phone, or in person?

you are absolutely doing the right thing. He has a lot of nerve treating you like that and then acting like you are supposed to be cool with it. As I always say, listen to your gut. I never steers you wrong. He has a lot of nerve and it's ridiculous. Some guys are just like that. You are right. I think he loves the fact that another young woman is flirting with him. It makes him feel powerful. Let the two of them feel powerful together.
As you can see, I haven't said anything about your so called bff. This is because he didn't have a relationship with her. It was with you. The issue is strictly with him.
She on the other hand is breaking the vital unspoken code. Never look at or even think about going after your girlfriend's man. She broke it and it is not okay. That excuse that she gave you? What's that about? It makes no sense to me. She's just trying to justify her behavior.
Go to him in person and kick his butt to the curb! I really hope I helped.
Good luck,
