A female , anonymous writes:

I just broke up with my boyfriend of 7 or 8 months becuse we ddin't think things were wotking out. Josh is a "typical" boy in that i could see him only leaving me for another girl. Howether, this other girl might just be my best friend. We vowed to stay friends and stuff but sitting next to him in class the other day he completely ignored me only chatting and flirting like crazy. I want my best friend to be happy but somehow i just don't want her to be with HIM. Especially not so soon. Don't take me as a mean, selfish person because i know he is no longer my boyfriend and its up to my Best friend who she wants to date but still... I don't know. What can i do to stop a relationship developing? thankyou -x-

It is perfectly normal to feel this way. Whenever an ex starts dating anyone new, never mind ur best friend, it can be hard! I think that the first thing u need to do, is find out for sure whether ur friend and ur ex are interested in each other. The only way to do this is to talk to ur friend and find out from her what her feelings are. If it does so happen that she in into ur ex, dont freak on her. Tell her that ur uncomfortable about her interest in ur ex. If she is a true m8 then she will understand. However i dont think that u should stop them goin out if they really like each other. I think that u will find out that the infactuation is meerly physical and will pass, but if not, who are we to stand in the way of happiness.

Toria agony auntI've always believed that you don't get involved with your friends ex, someone your friend likes, someone your friend is with therefore your friend should respect the fact that he is your ex and you are her friend and the friendship is more important and not worth ruining.

Talk to your friend and tell her how you are feeling she should understand and accept that it would hurt and upset you if she was to pursue something with your ex.

Good luck :o)
