Okay, this is sort of a continuation of my last question. My best friend of over a year, who is a guy, just got a new girlfriend. There aren't any feelings more than friendship towards him, because I'm married and my husband is friends with him as well.
The thing is, now that he has this new girlfriend, she wants me out of the picture and out of his life. He said that I'm still his best friend and he wants to continue being friends. Should I just drop the friendship so I don't cause any problems, or should I keep trying to make the friendship work?

Well, you can always try to talk to his lady and tell her that you ain't no threat to her. She can't obviously tell your best friend who can and can't talk to. She's depriving him from his liberties, and that's ultimately wrong. You can tell this to your friend to tell her himself, so that you won't make things more complicated. I wish you the best. I hope this new girlfriend doesn't ruin YOUR friendship. Good Luck!

Let him do the work. Don't make yourself unavailable, and if you regularly invite him over, or do something regular with him, still do that. His girlfriend is possessive and jealous. He needs to realize that on his own, and make his own decisions. Don't bow out completely, good friends are more important than casual sexual relationships any day.

You should respect his girlfriend's point of view as well.
If you really thinks of him as your best friend, then you shouldn't cause any problem to their relationship.
There is only one solution. Meet him with his girlfriend with your and your husband! Do not exclude her. It will only make distance between you and your friend and him and his girlfriend.
there are more fun things that two couples can do together!

definatly do not stop being his friend. from what you said, this girlfriend is pushy and trying to make him pick her over his friends. im pretty sure that she isnt going to be around too long if thats the way she treats him. so dont stress it right now, things will probably return to normal soon enough.

being a true friend means understanding, you are happy he should have the same choice, he doesent want to die old and alone. and if he i a great guy she had every right to be jelous. you need to be there in case he falls, if he needs someone to talk to, dont give him a its her or me option let him make it. thats being a friend.

Don't altogether drop it . . . just respect that that is her man. Put yourself in her shoes and ask how many times you want a chick calling your husband. Then, that is how many times you should call him. If you can, maybe you should include her in crap, just to make her feel better. But if she is insecure, that is no one's fault but hers.

have you talked to your guy friend about it? how does he feel? It's really up to you and what is best for you. If it means not being friends with him, but if you are only friends I don't see why his gilfriend has to be against it. She should understand. good luck
