Hurt but Happy..

Well first off I'm very sorry to hear about what happened, I'm sure that must have been really hard to deal with. I also want to applaud you for the way that you handled it by trying to put your friend first. I would say that it sounds like your friend was not really a very dedicated or caring friend based on how she handled things. A good friend wouldn't stoop so low as to start dating someone that her best friend was crushing on, especially not after saying that they were going to try to help you work things out with your crush. I know that you're being really considerate and trying to think about your friend's feelings but I would suggest being honest with her. Take some time to sit down and talk with her and let her know that although she's still your friend, she really hurt your feelings. By being open with her then you won't be lying and risking further damaging your friendship. Best of luck and I hope that you're able to work things out between each other.

I think that was horrible of your friend to do. She didn't respect your feelings so don't tiptoe around her's. I'm not saying be mean, but don't let her do that to you! I would definitely arrange a heart-to-heart and tell her everything you've been feeling. See if you guys can work it out because maybe she didn't realize what she was doing. But if she refuses to listen or take your feelings into consideration, I know it's hard to admit, but she's a toxic friend. You need positive people in your life, not toxic ones. You deserve better. Anyways, I hope it all works out. Remember that your feelings are never invalid!

I'm sorry but there doesn't seem like anything you can do. It wouldn't be very nice to steal your friend's boyfriend, as would breaking them up. I think it's best to just see how things end up. Best Of Luck ^_^.

She's not really a friend if she would do that to you, is she? She knew you liked him. She betrayed your trust. That's not what a true friend would do. Honestly, that's a bitch move. I don't know what else to say. You can't let her do that to you. Let her know that that wasn't right and if she defends her actions or doesn't apologize, you know where you stand. I'm not saying break them up, but she should at least apologize, especially if she knew you liked him.

First of all, I'm sorry to hear that. It sucks. And the fact that she took him, even though she knew that you liked him doesn't really portray her as the best friend. You shouldn't have to do anything, or fake just to make her happy. She should have considered your feelings more before she decided to do what she did. Don't feel bad about being upset over what happened, or feel pressured to like it. You're entirely entitled to feel exactly how you feel.

The way I see it, there's three options to go from here; Confront her about it, Ignore it and try to put it past you in trying to salvage your friendship, which by the way is a two person job, or... find some new friends to hang out with besides her, or even her at all. You deserve some true friends who's got your back.
