To Annie, please: After several years, my closest friend’s ex-wife and I finally met and fell in love. The problem is really complex. She recently got divorced from another man, the one she left my friend for, after leaving their marriage more than thirty years ago. My friend has never truly forgiven her because she left him hurt and resentful. I can’t hold him responsible.However, she just got in touch with me, and I really like her. I’ve asked him several times if he finds my connection distressing. He stated that while he doesn’t care, he doesn’t want specifics.
He blew up when I brought her up the other day, accusing me of betraying him and asking how I could have done it. He won’t talk to me because he is upset and angry. He is my best friend for life! How can I help? — Trapped Between Friendship and Love
To Stuck, In actuality, when you began dating the lady who crushed your friend’s heart, you were aware that his feelings were in jeopardy. I don’t know why you mentioned her after he asked you to keep your relationship private, but here we are.I would respect him space while he takes some time to calm down because it’s obvious that your relationship with his ex hurts him. I would then get in touch with him to let him know how much you cherish his friendship and wish to maintain it in your life.Since you wouldn’t have taken this route, I can only presume that you envisage a serious future with this woman. In order to help your buddy feel more comfortable with your connection, discuss with her possible boundaries you could establish.
