Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to change the way his best friend feels - and the worst thing you could do is try to come between them.
I'm sure that she does have strong feelings for him because that's what happens when you are best friends with someone and you really care about him. This doesn't mean that she's in love with him though. Love requires giving and receiving and, if he is in a relationship with you, it's clear that he is not returning her feelings for him. This has probably only magnified her "feelings" for him because we always want what we can't have.
I would suggest continuing your relationship with him as normal. It is probably quite painful for her to see the two of you together and she is probably scared that you will take his friendship away from her. If you make her feel included and let them continue their friendship as they always have, she will realise you are not a threat and will respect your time with him in the same way.
Just keep in mind that he sees her as a friend and he always has. Being in a relationship with you will not suddenly make him believe that he loves her. If you trust him, don't get jealous and don't try to compete with her, he will appreciate you all the more and realise he would be silly to lose you.

No easy answer.
But if I was in the boyfriend's situation, I would try to dry the friendship up by having less communication with the best friend. In my opinion, the relationship should be the priority. If a realtionship is not the priority then you have to accept that it is not romantic love but friendhsip or obligation that is keeping you together. The boyfriend should make sure that the best friend knows where they stand, that he will never love her romantically and that he wants to stay with his girlfriend.

Nothing.
If you try to 'do' something, you'll come between a man and his best friend and that's always a no no.
If you leave it be, what will be will be.
Remember, you are the one your boyfriend is with - if that's not enough for you, remember insecurity is not a personality trait that we tend to find attractive in our partners. If it worries you, pretend it doesn't. Be your most lovable best. That's all you can do,

WOW that's a tough one. But that questio is really up to the boyfriend. you should be asking him if he is inlove with the bestfriend. If not...then you shouldn't have anything to worry about but I would be cautious at one point.
