Best friend vs boyfriend rival..help!

I have been dating this guy for a couple months now but have been hanging out with him much longer. At first him and all my friends got along very well, he paid for everyones drinks and it was a fun time. When we started dating him and my best friend started having an attitude towards eachother..she called me and told me he said things like "if we weren't together then you and I would be" ect. But for some reason i honestly can't imagine that coming out of his mouth, and he swore on his mothers grave which he never does unless he is serious about it. My best friend gave me an ultimatum of him or her and to not go crying to her if i get hurt. I can only see him once or twice a week also..which i cut down to once a week because she told me she needs more time with me. She's blaming me for whatever is going on and not allowing me to make my own decisions. I'm not a push over and I'm actually a really smart girl capable of making my own decisions and good ones at that. Help!

    I'm a guy. You're boyfriend probably said what she said he did. Don't lose a friend over some two-faced (most males are) prick.

    how is she your best friend if you don't trust her enough to believe in what she says?
    i would definitely believe the best friend over the boyfriend, especially if you've known her longer.

    well i guess your boyfriend's mother is either going to hell or he is because do you really think your BEST friend would lie to you about something like that? one of my guy friends is the same way your boyfriend sounds like he is...when he had a girlfriend, he pretty much said "if she & i weren't together, i'd date you" or something...i say listen to your best friend & dump your boyfriend because it's sisters before misters..therefore your best friend will be there a lot longer than your lying, playing boyfriend will be

  • It took a lot of courage and care for your best friend to tip you off. You don't think she'd make that up do you?

    A lot of people have sworn on their mothers grave and lied. They are still around.You have to figure out who's lying and who's not. You my not want to be standing to close to your bf. I'll date you and wont cheat. I swear on my mothers grave

    It doesn't sound like your bf is the kinda guy that would do that and it sounds like your friend is being a bit overpowering I know alot of people that actually will do that to a friend and most don't actually realize it (my sister used to tactickly insert herself in to a group and pick one person to be her best friend then she would skillfully make the rest of that person's friends hate her so that my sister would be the only friend her friend had, thus she wouldn't have to share her friend.... reread a couple of times if you need to :P I know I used friend alot :P

    anyway tell your friend to lay off abit and good luck :D

    Have her prove it. If she was lying I'd tear her ass up or if it was him I'd make him wish he never F'd with me.

  • Which one do you trust more? If your friend is lying, then it doesn't sound like the kind of person to be best friends with.

    OR she could just be jealous, I always get jealous when my best friend has a boyfriend, I would never try to break them up, and i usually get along with the guy, but that might be the case with your friend. If it is, just talk to her about it, and let her know that your boyfriend is not gonna get between you and her

    it depends on who YOU think would be the most likely to lie. Pick whoever you believe is telling the truth. and have the three of you come together and discuss. the real truth may come out

    Has she ever done anything like that to you before?
    Your friend could be jealous, see if she is the jealous type. I can tell when my bf and my best friend is lying so I don't really have this trouble. Tell your so called bff that its not her right to give you an ultimatum, best friends don't make you choose, obviously she isn't your bff if she is gonna make you choose, she should want you to be happy. and as for the bf, sweetie guys lie to get what they want, well most guys. Let the problem hang in the air a bit, see how good you get at calling his bluffs, look at his face when he lies and when he is telling the truth, learn how he acts differently when he is lying and telling the truth then out of the blue bring it up again, look at his body language. Do the same with the best friend. I am not gonna tell you to dump your bf or not, or to dump the friend or not it is fully and completely your choice sweetie.

    It's normal to be annoyed but it sounds like you have RAGE. Calm down.

    Really, it could go either way. Your friend sounds a little bit jealous and/or possessive of you. But at the same time, she could be wanting to protect you from a guy she knows is wrong for you. I had a boyfriend who was sweet as hell to my face and would have never guessed that he was trying to cheat on me with my best friends - but he was.

    In any case, don't let either one of them influence what you decide to do... it is for you to make.

    That seems very sketchy but at the same time why would your best friend make up a lie like that? Analyze your friendship with her and see if she is the type of person who would say that. Guys can be sketchballs sometimes too. Don't jump to conclusions, let it be, and if there is more conflict then you'll have to make a decision. If you truly believe one over the other is telling the honest truth, pick them.

    Go for boyfriend. You won't marry with your best friend, after all. She doesn't pay for your drinks. Make the natural choice.

    Maybe you don't know your boyfriend that well. Do an experiment. Get another friend of yours to hang out with you and your boyfriend and see if she says the same thing.

    I say trust your friend. Friends look out for each other. If you doubt your friend, then you don't trust her as much as you should be.

    I think your friend is being a little over possesive, she has the right to tell you what she thinks but does not have the right to give you an ultimatum. In my experience usually if all of your friends don't like a guy then he's prolly no good for you. I think you should have your family meet him and give you more of an objective view on him. If its really bothering you get the two of them together and confront them in front of one another. If you're not bothered then do what is best for you. If your friend is really a friend shell get over it and be there for you no matter what!

    Dump that bitch. Your "best friend" is either telling the truth and being insensitive or being a lying bitch.
    Honestly, I'm not surprised. Most girls (I'm a girl, too) are like that. Well, the normal ones. That's why you gotta be smart about who you're friends with.

    HE lied.. about not saying it... and he most definitely does swear on his grandmas grave whenever he feels like it. I know, and ughh I'm sorry if he hurt your feelings.
