They joke my wife's friend is her "real wife."

Those friends are more independent and can easily go without seeing him for weeks on end, but he seems lost without them.

I am not judging her for how many people she has slept with ...

The problem is that the year ended with us two still friends, and then we both changed schools.

I was keeping these feelings to myself and drove myself batty thinking about it, so I am relieved that I finally said something.

The dream reminded me of everything that was good about us.

His best friend and her best friend are getting married soon, and he's in the wedding.

To make matters worse, almost every single one of his friends have had either a short relationship with him, a fling, a one night stand, cuddled, made out with or been generally more intimate than I would be with any of my friends.

I started dating a guy I've known through work. He's a very nice, solid guy – a great catch. I could tell that he went out of his way to get to know me. We started dating, but then he…

In reality, we have never even kissed before – until now.

I want to tell her because it's haunting me.

I'm a 26-year-old woman and I think I have feelings for a friend. I have no experience with women.

To make a very long story short, he basically reiterated the fact that he does not want me spending time with my male friends or even talking to them.

I thought about mentioning this to a doctor or looking for a counselor but I don't even know what I would say is the "problem."

How do I get her mother to forgive me and see that I am not the same person I was?

It's still a little difficult being friends because I keep wondering if there could have been something great there.

I don't want to read more into it than just coffee.

I used to have a HUGE crush on him – before he and my friend started dating.

She stopped talking to me without giving me a reason a couple months ago.
