Best friend is dating my ex!

A male age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm still in love with my girlfriend, who broke up with me almost 4 months ago. It makes it worse that my best friend is now dating her, and they have been together for about 3 months. I've just started talking and hanging out with him again, because I've been dating again and felt that I was over what they did to me. I was half right. I still havent talked to her. Every time I talk to him and hang out with him all those feelings I have for her come back. None of my friends or family know that I still feel this way about her, including my friend that with her, because myself and everybody else (inlcuding my friend) knows what happened with our break-up and how bad she did me and all the lies she told me, which makes the fact that i still have those feelings for her worse. And what hurts the most is that my bestfriend has admittedly said that he doesnt love her and is totally into their relationship, but for some reason he wont break up with her. From what he tells us, he wants to break up with her and has said he is going to more than once. He has even asked what we think he should do and what we want him to do, knowing that we (we being another close friend of ours)dont like her, and know how she really is. When were around each other I play it off like I dont have feelings for her or care anymore, but i really do. I dont want them to break up so I can get back with her, because I dont think I would want to be with her anyways. I just want to know what I should do. Tell him how I really feel? Keep playing it off until these feelings for her go away? Something else?
