your partner's friend is interested in you

This is a taboo area for me. While I understand that matters of the heart for some people cannot be controlled, somehow this is not an area I would explore. I would explain to the friend that because he and my partner are still friends and or were friends I could not entertain this area. Even if my partner and I were to split, and or my partner and his friend were no longer friends, I don't date the friends. Yes I would speak to my partner about it because I would not want him to find out on his own and or be hurt by it. I can see how some are okay with this but for me it would be a definite, no-no.

If my partner's friend was interested in me then I wouldn't do anything about it while I was still in a relationship with my partner. I am an honest person, and would never be able to do anything behind his back. I don't think that I would tell him, as that would upset my partner, so I would just tell his friend that he had no chance at all with me and then I would be able to move on and do whatever I like with my life. If his friend behaved out of turn then I might have to say something; but other than that I think that I would stay quiet.

I would definitely talk to my partner and tell him how I feel. If you don't think your relationship is going anywhere its probably not. And its best to cut ties with him before you become unfaithful. I was in a similar situation. I was attracted to my boyfriends friend and when our relationship ended( I left him because he cheated) I did date his friend. We are married now with 2 kids and I feel like he's my soulmate. He says he knew he would marry me before we ever talked( we didn't have a conversation until my b/f went crazy) but you have to follow your heart. If you don't feel its right to stay with your current man, then don't. Life is too short to be unhappy.
