Question - (29 December 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 29 December 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've just begun dating a new guy. I'm 17 (18 in 1.5 months) and he's 22. I haven't known him that long, we've only been together for 3 months. He's a really sweet and caring guy and he makes me really happy. The only problem is that I think he is in love with his best friend. When we first met, he had a thing for his best friend and she liked him too but refused to date him because of their different religions (she's Catholic, he's Jewish). Personally, I don't think that she likes him but instead she likes the attention he gives her. But anyway, since we started dating, I kind of thought he'd let go of his crush on her. But it still feels like he puts her before me. For instance, he definitely talks about her more than I'd like him to and we'll be talking on the phone after not talking or seeing each other for a few days and then he'll hang up because his best friend needs something or because she's calling. It really gets under my skin. I can't help but be jealous. I don't want to feel like I have to compete for my boyfriends attention but I don't want to lose him to her (or anyone else for that matter). I don't know what to do. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks.

Moo's Mum agony auntI agree with IAmHereToHelpYou. Tell him how you feel and don't leave it too long it's a waste of your time to stay with him if he's not going to completely invest himself in the relationship.
