Hello all, Iām a 24 M, Iāve been talking with 23 F for a little over 6 months now. Right now itās just FaceTime/text/snap as I live a couple of states away and we both work a lot. To spare details and stay kinda anon, the lady Iāve been talking with has a best guy friend whom she has known for years. He is good friends with her brother and honestly most of the family as he attends dinners and regularly goes to her parents house. Unfortunately, a couple of months ago he told her he was āin love with herā. She stopped talking to him for like maybe a couple of weeks but ultimately forgave him? Iām considering breaking things off because of this guy. I do not perceive him as a āthreatā but they hang out often and they do drink together and he has (Iām like 90% sure) slept over before. Iāve talked to her about this before but tbh she seems oblivious to what I perceive as the dangers of that friendship. Sheās told him that theyāre only going to be friends but I donāt think that his feelings are going to go away and Iāll be upset if something happens to her because he canāt control his feelings. We have explicitly shared our feelings for eachother and plan on meeting irl before the end of the year. Our values and how we see our futures align (i.e. careers, kids, finances) and we just really click. We FaceTime and talk on the phone everyday multiple times a day. Iād feel bad throwing this away but I also donāt want to worry/be upset any time i hear about her guy bestfriend, ex boyfriend, or ex-fiancĆ© (donāt know why thatās still the title). I feel like i can trust her and her action, but I donāt trust these guys and I know Iāll never know her true feelings. Am I looking too far into this ?
Is it bad that Iām thinking of breaking things off bc of a best guy friend?
(By no means am I saying I am perfect but I limit talks of other women unless I am asked specifically. I also donāt have any lady friends besides co-workers. No I am not gonna ask her to cut her friend off sheās known wayyy longer than me.)
TLDR: guy bestfriendās relationship with the woman I am speaking with makes me quite uncomfortable
