A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

hiya, neeeeed some advice?

ok, bin wid my boyf for 4-5 yrs, when i met him, i became friends with his childhood friend, me n my boyf hav ups and downs, but hes jus lovley!

ok, back to his mate, his mate, over the years, has bcum my best mate, its weird, because weve both had the same upbringing, come from a same family envoriment, have same taste in music, we are both reallly opinionated and usually when in a group we're like the 'ringleaders'. to start off with, there was mutual attraction between us both, but we stayed friends (which im sooo glad about) because after a couple of months i decided to date my current boyf...

me n my 'best mate' talk about everthing, apart from wha we think of each other, theres a cut off line, which is out of respect for my boyf. with my mate, hes like my family, but not like my brother or nyfing, but it feels like i have known him a life time. Hes introduced me to his fam, he hangs out with my brothers (probs more than he hangs out with me nowadays)

ova the last couple of months, hes dated quite a few girls, hes tld me about all of them (out of respect for me he neva gets into the glory details) i kno hes a little player, but yet he respects me, he listens to my advice and trusts my opinion, but why do i feel like, hes all of a sudden, pulling himself away from me? his last girlfriend askd me to knock sum sense into him because he wasnt treatin her right, she knew he would listen to me because i was his 'best mate' ...she trusted me, and i felt honoured that she could, but seriously, hes more withdrawn from me, i hear about him getin in fights, getin pissed and generally not giving a crap about peoples feelings, and i dont get why, when deep down, hes such a gud guy..

he speaks to me a lot less, one time, when we was talkin about weddings, he lukd at me and sed 'yea, you two defo belong together, because your 'soul mates''...(he was obv refering to me and my boyf, in a sarcasting, teasing manner)

i must make it clear, that i do not want to be with him, i need to figure out, where he stands with me, how he stands with me? and what he may be thinkin of me? we have soo much pride that non of us willl ask each other anything, and cz we both adore my boyf, we aint gna even try and hurt his feelings.

any advice would be great
