I am engaged to my best friend. I haven’t had a doubt about our love, friendship, sex life, common interests, life goals, shared dreams, or ambitions in all the years we’ve been together. And I still have no doubts.

I met you at work and introduced you to my fiancé and my circle of friends, and you were received with unexpected warmth. We have such easy conversations, and I really enjoy your friendship. Everyone loves you, and there’s something budding between you and my closest friend. You’re a good man and a good friend.

Now I look forward to seeing you all of the time. I see her every day, and it’s only natural that you’re always around. I rooted for the two of you happily, until it became apparent that it would be more than a hookup situation. Now I feel a tinge of jealousy when the two of you hang out alone. I know that if I were a single gal, you and I would be what you and her are.

Sometimes I wish things were different; I know we could be good together. But I hate myself for ever wishing I was with anyone other than my fiancé. He is absolutely the perfect man for me, but what if it’s really you? recommended

  1. In my opinion (skipping over the part where I blast her for the sloppy writing)… she needs to get out of the relationship. She sounds young and/or immature. Think about how boring it will be married to your best friend in 20 years — aren’t you glad you met this guy now, BEFORE you got hitched?? Some people get married, meet the RIGHT person, and then wish they hadn’t gotten married so early..
    Don’t get married until you know what’s going on here. I say follow your heart and the guy at work. He might end up being your best friend too.

  2. I’m really hoping that the fiancé reads I Anon. There is probably just enough identifying information to do the trick.

    Hell, even if the wrong person recognizes himself, there are plenty of people in that basic situation, all of whom deserve a shot at the truth and a chance to avert a failed marriage, or at very least a postponement long enough for dearest spouse-to-be to get her (or his) head on straight again.

  3. @54: HAHAHA! I have zero interest in Twilight but I can’t help knowing exactly what you’re talking about and I hate it, so thank you for making me LOL.
