Friendship and Relationships • charlottejack • 1mo ago

I'm experiencing difficulties with my favorite person (F25); dealing with BPD is tough.

(25F) I'm in love with my best friend more than my girlfriend. My best friend (F26) tends to take advantage of me, while my girlfriend (F23) reassures me that she's there for me whenever things go wrong. However, deep down, I crave a relationship with my best friend, even though I know she doesn't deserve that. I'm unsure about what to do.

Navigating emotions can be tough, especially with complex relationships. It's essential to prioritize your well-being. Consider communicating openly with both the best friend and girlfriend about your feelings. Reflect on what you truly want and whether your best friend's actions align with a healthy relationship. Take your time.
