    Tricky situation indeed. It’s worth exploring your feelings before you find yourself going mad over it anyway. At least that’s what happened to me, your mileage may vary. What helped for me was journaling and then eventually therapy which has been extremely helpful

      Good tips, but I have a therapist and we’ve been going out to bars and stuff multiple times a week for two years. I’ve really had too much time to think about it. The going crazy part is that they’re looking like they’re gonna break up soon and I’m worried I’ll be blamed despite not crossing any lines. I’m a serial over-thinker so I’m no good at stopping.

        Dang, seems like you two are definitely gonna get together at some point. Sometimes I find that while being honest can make a friendship/relationship go through a rough patch, it still ends up being such a relief to vocalize what I’ve been bottling up. Maybe your friend’ll be pissed at you but if you’re hanging out with his girlfriend that often, he’s probably stuffing down his feelings too. Facing the facts can be tough and even if it ends the friendship, you might find you only want to surround yourself with people capable of coming to terms with reality.
