I never imagined I’d end up here: lying awake at night, replaying moments with someone who isn’t mine. My best friend and her boyfriend have been together for over two years. I was there when they started dating, and I always thought he was just a nice guy, nothing more. But lately, something changed. We started hanging out more in group settings, and there’s this undeniable chemistry. He laughs at my dumb jokes, remembers weird little details about my life, and sometimes, our eyes meet for a beat too long. I feel so guilty—she trusts me completely. She tells me everything, even worries she doesn’t tell him. But now, every time I see them together, my stomach twists with jealousy and shame. I haven’t told anyone; not her, not even my other friends. I don’t think he knows how I feel, but sometimes I wonder if he does, and maybe he feels something too. Part of me wants to come clean to her and put everything out in the open, but I’m terrified I’d hurt her or blow up our friendship. Another part of me thinks I should cut back time with both of them, to cool my feelings down and protect what matters. And a small, selfish part of me wonders: what if I tell him or ask if he feels the same? I’m completely torn between being honest, preserving our friendship, and the hope—however faint—of something more. What would YOU do?
