Is it normal that i forgave them both

My boyfriend(lets call him X) and I met in high school and have still been together three years since then. We both also are really good friends with this one girl(Y) that I have known since our freshman year. So about three months ago, my boyfriend confessed to me that six months prior to that, he and Y were talking to each other on the phone about what it would be like if he was dating her instead, for about a week. This devastated me and caused me to cry for hours- I wanted to die. X apologized heavily and promised that they never did anything other than talk about it. That still didn't help. I've spoken to Y and she told that she no longer thinks of X like that, that he's like a brother to her now. So X and I are still together and we all try to hang out with Y and her current boyfriend. I still feel this prang of jealously whenever I think of Y. And then X bought Y a N64 for no apparent reason other than she said she wanted one. I thought the gift was too much and I'm angry at X for getting her that, and at Y for accepting it. I keep trying to play it cool, and act like the whole thing never happened, but when my feelings get the best of me I act out and X gets angry at me.
IS IT NORMAL that I forgave them both so easily like that? Or am I overreacting with my jealously and crying when all they really did was talk? I love X and I want to stay with him, and Y was always a good friend to me before. Can acting like it never happened between us really work and we can continue to hang out?

    It sounds like you think pretty low of yourself to have accepted it. There is obviously chemistry between them. It is one thing to fantasize about someone but he took it to the next step. He was shopping. Trust is a big issue with any relationship and even though it is a personal choice, for me, once trust is gone so am i. the smartest solution would be to leave x and y and go find z.

    Somethin identical happened to me listen you need to seat you boyfriend down and say listen we r going to talk about this in a serious manner just once and ur going to tell me everything I ask, be honest, and let me get out my feelings and I'll drop it .. I did that and u have no idea how much it helped just seriously talking once I'm no longer jealous or worried over anything. Hope it goes well for you honey.

    You have every right to be mad at X & Y, but really, if X wanted to be with Y so badly, he would've broken up with you and got with her. Makes sense? You both love eachother and sometimes people get caught up in temptations, but atleast he came clean and told you. Best of luck xox

    <B>It sounds to me like X and Y are just close friends now, if X really appologised and meant it, I'm sure you and X can be close again.</b>

    All of us are worth of love, true love, from our friends, our families, and love which fills us connecting beings to souce to planet to each other a neverending onenessen and which drew me to you, child..And though never we two shall meet, fom here, I can see your light

    !4tsexists between every life form on this and other planes of existence.

    Enjoy your friendships we are nurtured by those we learn about and alo teach to heal and share and enjoy this wonderful planet with

    Communication is key to our important relationships and so I am confident that talking about the many complex feelings that exist between all of you will take away the power of doubt that comes from hiding from feelings that make us uneasy.To act as if nothing unusual has happened to each of our individual friendships will surely drive a cold wedge between you.The same things that you love and appreciate about you friend are maybe the same things that you man is drawn to, or maybe the two of them complement each other in completly different ways. I think it is healthy to examine our relationships with everone we are close to , better see and and better appreciate in each other.attraction among people who enjoy each other is a natural and helthy occurance among people we bond. It would not surprise me if over the course of an intimate friendship with your lady friend the two of you could see and acknowledge an attraction towards each other! That would not mean that either of you would necessarily act on any thoughts, fantasies, or curiosities about what things would have been like, if the two of you had developed romantic love for each other instead of your partners? Wondering about alternative combinations of all the complexities of our close relations is healthy and if we can open discuss these things, together we can learn about the valuable gifts we all exchange in our nurting each other. Often we learn the diffent gifts we receive in life..friendship, intimacy,support,empathy,attraction,sex,love,romantic love,familial love, acceptance,understanding, shared interests,,,,so many things we both can teach and can learn from each other, sometimes it normal to questionor confuse what we feel but the thing we come to know is that we never could give nor receive from just one mate. That is why so many loves fail, when we try to choose between friends and our mates and families. Truth is, we need and deserve it all! Choose love!

    Lovin' you

    I am so proud of you, Daughter. Your actions demonstate that you are able to love another human actually two other human's in a healthy, mature, and spiritually evolved manner.

    True love is unconditional.We love because we are able. We love because we are beings of light and this is what we have come to this place, in this time to learn.. and to teach.

    Love is trust. You have shown that your trust of both your man, and your friend is stonger than your suspiscion, your fear, and your jealosy.

    Love is faith, You prove that your faith in your instincts overcomes the power of insecure self talk, which tries to convince us that a gift is more than just a gift..A gift may MEAN something..A gift to another does not take on hidden meanings nor does a gift made to a friend say a word about the feelings of our beloved towards the object of his heart's true desire. Wise love understands that this is truth. Your faith in the power of love defeats doubt.

    You prove that you are able to love a very important person, Yourself! Love is confident. Your confidence in your own value, and worthiness allows you to see that true love does not force another to give up important friendships, because of thoughts, fantasy, nor need to possess what cannot owned.

    It is not healthy to think that just because you and your man have a romantic love relationship between you, that either should have to lose a friendship with a girl who has always been a friend to each of you.

  • They told me to leave them both as well, but I eventually missed them both. Take some time; I know it's painful, but your thoughts will eventually come together and you'll know what to do.
