This is a complex story. My best friend and I have become very close in the last four months, and our friendship has become more and more romantic, even sexual, but he refuses to be with me because he says he’s not gay. However, he tells me he loves me and we act just like a couple. This isn’t about me, though. He turned 20 a couple months ago and has been single for 8 or 9 months. He’s decided to distance himself from me he’d start dating again, but the problem is the woman he’s going after is 27, has two children, and has been married since 2005. He’s being urged my two women at work who say this lady’s husband is no good, and my best friend would be much better for her. I completely disagree. I don’t think it’s right for him to be messing with a married woman with two children, even if she’s unhappy in her marriage. It sounds like I just want him for myself, but that’s not the case. I just don’t know how to make him see this woman isn’t the one for him. He needs someone single, more his age (literally and maturity-wise), and without kids. Any advice? Thanks for reading.
