Let me set up the problem, I have a long distance relationship with my g/f, Robyn. I live about a 160 miles from her but we've been dating for more then 4 years and I love her with all my heart as she loves me the same. My best friend, Mike, who we are so close that we call each other brothers, lives maybe half the distance to my girlfriend, and we 3 always get along.

Problem: Last thursday, my best friend vistied my g/f, but she was at work, and when she got home, she found a note from Mike confessing his love for here, and "Would give up everything" for her cause he says that she makes him feel complete. I had gone to spend the weekend wither her and had arrived at her house on thursday as well. Mike had called and wanted to meet my G/f at the pool hall alone, but refused when he found out I was there, and has called several times for Robyn. Me and Robyn spent all weekend talking how we should handle this, but we just don't know, any sugestions?

First and foremost, your girlfriend needs to decide how she feels about the friend. If she is all "No thanks.. I am really happy where I am right now and don't want to risk losing what I have.." then she needs to make sure you and your friend know. She has to be perfectly clear to him that he has no chance. If she isn't.. then he'll take any sign of friendship as an open window to make an advance.

As for you.. do you value your friendship enough to work through this? I wouldn't go beat the crap out of him or anything, but I would definitely let him know that what he has done so far is really uncool.

Not to mention he collects swords guns and is probably better in use with them then me.

I already asked her that, though I knew what the answer would be, and she did say that she would pick me and would always pick me, she consides him a good friends, they alot alike in personality, though she has never seen him more then a friends, and was completly taken by suprise by this.

As for me, I don't know. I don't know if I can trust him after this. I'm pretty sure this is going to ruin our friendship. I've seen him fall in love with alot of other girls and he tense to be a mess about it, and I think he may try to stick with this in hopes to get her from me.


Parce: I got the note from robyn that Mike gave her and wrote on it, "I need to talk to you NOW in person" and signed it by me and left it on his door, but he still hasn't contacted me. He's going to shy away from me, and he won't get the message, the bastard gone be a stubborn narrow sited fool sometimes.

Okay.. so she needs to let him know flat out he has no chance.

And it's understandable that things are going to be extremely weird between you all. Perhaps you guys should take a break from each other then

Put him on fire. Then her, just to be sure.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Tell him to back off. He needs to come back when he gets control of his hormones again. Hook him up with your g/f's sister if she has one old enough. Or just hook him up with someone.

Love makes fools of us all. I should know I a bigger fool than most.

Any way if Mike has been your long time best freind and your GF clearly is only interested in you, I wouldnt worry about it. be understanding after all your GF is a wonderful person no reason some ohter guy might not also realize that.

Tell mike you are disapointed in him but you wont let a woman ruin your friendship. Let him know this is a boundry that he will jsut have to get used to not crossing, maybe robin has a freind or somthing.. give hi some space and in time things should work out.

Speaking from experience, I've seen this situation ruin several friendships. Friendships that you'd never think would go south. It doesn't happen every time, but in all likelyhood, it will.

Your girlfriend should be firm and clear in saying to him that she has eyes only for you. She shouldn't say, "Oh, but if I ever break up with him, I'll give you a call," or even, "but we can still hang out if you want." That just gives him false hope, and doesn't resolve his feelings for her. In fact, he'll probably just pine for her (and the fjords!) more.

Her best move, since she has chosen you, is to cut him off completely. No more visits alone, no friendly dinner and movie nights alone, nothing. You should, however, invite him to things which the three of you normally do. Chances are that after this, he'll decline nine times out of ten, and with enough time, you won't even bother to ask him.

Will this kill your friendship? Probably. And that sucks. But that's not your fault; he took a chance and tried to steal your girl, and now he'll reap what he has sown.

You called 6 times over 2 days, and then at least3 times over the weekend. First off, I called you bastard not to insult you Mike. I still want you as a friend, but you still have to admit this is fucked up. And I did read it, and you did say that, but, you went on alot that you wanted her. You should know how feel about each other and leaving a note and what you said wasn't the coolest of things.

    Fallen, what you did wasn't cool at all. You don't try to steal someone else's girl. That's just not a line you cross.

    As for the situation, DoR, your girl needs to make it clear your friend has no chance and that you're the one she wants. She doesn't have to completely cut him off. I've been in this situation before myself, and it was sticky for a while, but he's one of my best friends and has been for many years now. So if it was a good, solid friendship before, and it's not something she wants to have to give up, then she doesn't have to. But she has to make it clear it will never happen. She has to be firm.

    theres a far simplier solution to this.

    I assume "FALLEN" is the betrayer in question.

    1. it boils down to this FALLEN, is your friendship worth more than the girl? There is no justification, explination, no speaking, the only answer to this is Yes or No, failure to answer in anything else, results in a default no.

    2. Death of Rats: looks like Robyn is sticking to you regardless of his feelings, take a moment and consider yourself lucky this didn't turn into apeshit crazy drama. Then, based on mike's answer, either A. Accept his apology (if he says the friendship is worth more), or B. Never so much as speak to him again (Personally I'd kick the 8th level of shit out of him for a solid day straight, but then, I'm able to do such things, I dunno how you are with violence)
