Today, and for a while, I’ve noticed one of my closest friends getting a little to friendly with my boyfriend. Maybe I’m just reading too far into it, but then again maybe I’m not? I really want to be wrong about this and I’m pretty sure he would never hurt me, but I’m scared something’s going on that I don’t know about. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my boyfriend made a move to hook up with my best friend. She was about to reciprocate, only for him to suddenly tell her that she’s a horrible friend, and then he told me about it. I’m not sure if I should be picking sides here. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 2 years never posts me on his Facebook, yet his girl “bestie” is always on his tags, comments, etc. He recently went to a party and put a picture of them two as his profile picture. He’s confused as to why I’m upset, and thinks I’m “overreacting.” FML
Today, I felt a fear that my relationship with my boyfriend isn’t going to last. There’s nothing inherently wrong, yet I find myself thinking of breaking up with him. A lot. I love him and feel like I’m already part of his family, and that's something I don’t want to let go. I don’t know what to do. FML
Today, my best friend confessed his love to me, and I confessed the same back. However, I have a boyfriend who gives me mixed signals and is rude but sometimes not, and my best friend isn't ready to date so for now it’s FWB, and he's also is starting to give a little bit of mixed signals. FML
Today, I saw that my boyfriend of 3 years had posted pictures with the girl he says he “sees as a best friend” wearing matching pajamas. He’d told me he wasn’t into the pajamas thing when I wanted to do it. He doesn’t get why I’m upset and told me I’m overreacting about some silly post between “two best friends.” FML
Today, my best friend is mad at me for "letting my paranoia ruin her relationship." I've been telling her for months now that I don't trust her boyfriend's female best friend, but she never listened to me. Guess who I caught in bed together a few hours ago while my best friend was at work? FML
Today, I found out that my husband’s friend has been secretly obsessed with me for months, and was even writing poems about me and reciting them to people. I’m scared to find out anything else. It's so creepy. FML
Today, I figured out why the guy I secretly love became so friendly with me. It appears that we became friends so that he could get closer to my very best friend and flirt with her. They’re now happily together and my best friend tells me all day long about him, and how they made out. FML
Today, my boyfriend, best friend, and another friend went out in my boyfriend’s new car. I was connecting my phone to his Bluetooth so we could play music. I saw my best friend’s phone in the list. He bought the car two days ago. Their avoidant reactions and my boyfriend trying to change the subject said it all. FML
Today, and since 2026 started, my two friends began liking each other and I'm very happy for them. The problem? They get so close (literally and figuratively) that they do things that make me feel left out (both subjectively and objectively). Everyone says it's normal, but when I was in love I never did that. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

now in my 30s, i say be upfront about your gut feeling and bring it up, in a non accusatory fashion. it could clear the air or make your gut feeling worse (which usually means move on (to me) or something is happening that you are not fully aware about(could be nothing could be something etc)). though for most of my life, i sat with the bad feelings in my stomach instead. and I'm glad that i don't any more. it's also important to note that traumas from our past can also cause our gut to go crazy, so it's important not to jump to conclusions, and to communicate clearly and respectfully and kindly. good luck!

Trust your gut. But talk to him and see how he reacts about if he's noticed how she's acting. I had my suspicious about my best friend of 33 years through a few boyfriends but blew it off thinking she would never. None of them ever would touch her but sure enough she was trying.

He wouldn't bone your friend to intentionally hurt you. He'd bone your friend because it feels good. Then, he'd probably hope you don't find out about it. Bottom line: Your gut is right, so dump him and move on.

My gut has never been wrong about infidelity in my relationships. If behavior appears incongruent and inappropriate to what it should be, it's because it is. The warning signs we try to justify away always look blatantly obvious to us in hindsight, and this looks like an obvious one. Confront him directly in a moment where you are emotionally calm and secure. Most people don't lie well when confronted and emotions aren't heightened. And then you can judge from there if he wants to do what's necessary to save the relationship with you.
