Dear Nurse Ansalong:
My ex-boyfriend, who I broke up with a week ago, is falling for one of my best friends and I think she is feeling him. This sounds very stupid but he is always talking dirty to her and I dont like that. Not that I am jealous. I read some coversations they had with each other. She said she isn't taking sides but I have a feeling she is because she likes him and won't admit it. I don't think a true friend would hurt you like this. What do you think I should do?

Brittany, unless he is a bad guy, there really isn't much that you can do. Since he's your ex-boyfriend, he has the right to go out with anyone that he wants to. It might be painful for you because it would be with one of your best friends, but there really isn't much that you can do to stop them if they are really wanting to date. Everyone is free to make decisions in their lives and not everyone benefits from those decisions. It might be hard for you but there really isn't anything wrong with your best friend dating your ex after the break-up.
