Hi,

Even if you split from yr man, if you are thinking of dating his best mate, I think that you will potentially loose both.

You see theres an unwritten code that exists between BF's

You DONT

1) Date eithers EX

2) Date yr BF's sister

Unless yr man "gives" his mate "permission" to date you you will loose both and then what?

Try and keep away from his mate and concentrate on yr own relationship..tell him how you feel.

Good Luck

aunt honesty agony auntOnly you can tell how you truely feel, taking the friend out of the equasion for a moment take a look at your relationship and ask yourself are you happy with your boyfriend, you say you are going through a rough patch but do you love him? With some work put in by both of you do you think you could be happy together? If you feel that it just isnt working then i think you should break up with your boyfriend and concentrate on yourself for the time being.

As for his best friend is this a road you really want to go down? I understand that you cant help who you develop feelings for but would it be worth breaking a friendship over because they wont be friends if he hooks up with you its the one rule of friendship therefore i think that you should be prepared for that as he might not go near you for the sake of his friend keep that in mind. But if you still feel like you want to tell him how you feel then do that and take it from there but make sure you arent still in a relationship with your boyfriend if you are going to tell him how you feel goodluck.
