Is my boyfriend in love with his girl bestfriend?

[Anonymous]

I have been in a relationship for 10 years. My SO has a female best friend that I can only count a handful of times she has been around. When my SO invites her to hang out with us together there is always an excuse to why she cannot make it, however, when we are broken up she is readily available to hang out with him. I pointed out this fact to him and we actually got into many arguments. I called her a B$$ch out of anger and sent a message to her and my SO demanded I apologize. I feel I should not have to being as though she has not made herself present in my life or that of my children. I have never given him and ultimatum and I’ve always tried not to interfere in the friendship due to them being friends well before we were even together. I feel like my SO purposefully keeps us a part and he even divulges information about our relationship and my personal struggles to her. I confronted him about his attachment to her and he came back questioning his attachment to me. I know the answer is obvious. He gets really upset if I make any negative comments about her or her absence.

It's difficult to determine whether or not your boyfriend is in love with his female best friend without more information. However, the fact that he is defensive and upset when you make negative comments about her or her absence may indicate that he values their friendship and is protective of it.

It's important to communicate openly and honestly with your partner about your feelings and concerns. It's understandable that you feel uncomfortable with their friendship, especially if you feel that she is coming between you and your partner. However, it's important to approach the situation with respect for your partner's feelings and boundaries.

It may be helpful to have a conversation with your partner about your expectations for the relationship and how you can work together to strengthen your bond. It's important to prioritize open and honest communication, trust, and mutual respect in any relationship.

If you feel that the situation is becoming toxic or unhealthy, it may be necessary to seek support from a trusted friend or family member, or from a mental health professional. Remember that you deserve to be in a relationship where you feel valued, respected, and loved.

In case you weren't aware, JasonDaMan very very likely generated that entire response with ChatGPT.

Number one he should never demand anything of you. You should be more tuff and have him apologize to you for "demanding" or dump him. No one should tell you what to do. And if a man that your with does not make you his priority than your not. And that should tell you everything you need to know.

Yes, he loves her. It's pretty clear, I'm so sorry
