k_c100 agony auntI think the last post is very true - the most important thing for you to do is not go anywhere near this other girl! It will only cause trouble in a number of ways so staying away is the best thing for you to do.

With regards to your girlfriend; you say you love her. So do you love her enough to try and make it work? Or has the love faded somewhat and you feel it is time to move on? Only you can decide whether or not to break it off with your girlfriend; if you think there is something there worth saving then talk to her. Tell her how you are feeling and try and work through your problems.

Only issue with staying with your girlfriend is the girl who she is going to room with may feel jealous that you two are working things out and she may tell your girlfriend about all your conversations (and she will probably elaborate on the truth making you sound bad).

I think you have dug yourself a bit of a hole here by talking to this girl who is a friend of your girlfriends; you have set yourself up for problems especially if this other girl has started to have feelings for you. The only way that you can get out of this mess without any repercussions is to end it with both of them and stay clear of the two! Friends tend to be quite loyal to each other and I dont think you will win in this situation.

Good luck!

The old Man? agony auntIf you break it off with your girlfriend, I'd stay away from the friend. If they are going to room together, that will cause problems for the two of them.

You are also setting yourself up for accusations of cheating with the friend, OR if you and the friend get together, the new girl may feel uncomfortable that you and the old girl were once an item. Again, another opportunity to be accused of cheating.

I hope you can make sense of that. In a nutshell, I see problems heading your way if you pursue the friend.

Go fish in a different pond!
