Dear Fox,

Recently I have started dating this great guy. He is the best guy I have ever met and I think I am in love. He treats me so well, always takes me out, never forgets to call, and all my friends think he is perfect for me. So far everything in the relationship is going great, except for the fact that lately each time I have hung out with him we have also spent time with his friends. And the more time I spend with his friends I have realized I have begun to develop a crush on his best friend. The last thing I want to do is hurt my boyfriend but I like them both and I don't know what to do. Should I stop hanging out with him until the feelings pass? I don't want to mess up this relationship because I think there are some good things that could come of it.

Sincerely,

Double Trouble

Dear Double Trouble,

It seems to me that you are in love, but your conflicting feelings are getting in the way.

If you feel that it is love then you should pursue it. Try spending some alone time with your boyfriend. The least amount of time you spend around your boyfriend's friends the more time you will get to know your boyfriend better and it will also allow time for the confusing feelings to pass.

Relationships are work, remember that. Sometimes things happen that you have to work through, so keep at it. All relationships hit bunps in the road. Keep at it especially if you think something good will come of the relationship. You seem to have deep feelings for your boyfriend and think it is something meant to be.

Ask yourself what if really important in life. If the feelings do not pass maybe it would be a good idea to take a short break in order to figure things out.

It is important to live your life in the way that makes you happy.

Lovingly Yours,

The Fox
