Friendship dilemma
I've been friends with my best friend for several years now. We have been there for each other through loves and deaths. She has had a couple boyfriends in the past. They have become my friends as well. She broke it off with her last boyfriend several months ago. She has since then gotten with a new boyfriend. He treats her good. And I'm happy for her.
My dilemma is that her last ex boyfriend wants to start seeing me. I've been single since my last boyfriend of four years died four years ago. I have dated but nothing serious. I've been attracted to this man from the first time I saw him. But because I love my best friend I never acted on it. But now she is with someone who she is happy with. Their break up wasn't a good one. She tells me things and he tells me there not true. He's never lied to me that I known of but I know she has before. Do I say yes to seeing him and not tell her and maybe lose my best friend or do i tell her and maybe not only lose a friend but maybe a good relationship? I want to see him also. He has been there for me also. HELP!!!

Hello there. That sounds you've a got a tough decision to make there. I get that it's not so fun to be stuck in the middle like this.
Do what you think is best for you. Not for your friend nor for anyone, it's for you. What makes you happy? What gives you comfort? Take all the time you need to make your choice. This is your life you're making, and no one knows what's best for it but you.
Whatever you decide tho, I hope it all works out for the best.
