no .. you should just stay out of it.. no one takes anyone away, unless that person wants to go.. you have to remember we all have our own minds and free will..

I think you should confide in a diary or journal or something like some previous answer told you to do. It really lifts the weight off your shoulders once you've written your feelings down. I mean, unless you dont keep your memories written down, then you should tell your 2nd best friend/a close friend who doesnt have any idea who your best friend is, so that the person you tell doesnt tell your best friend and screw up your friendship. Just like what some other person said. Or, if you do have a trusting friendship that'll be sure to last for a kachillion years (again, an idea from another answer), then you might just be able to tell your friend. That's why they call them best friends forever right? Nothing'll come between them

Don't tell him at all. Why should you get in the middle. It would hurt your friend.

you should definately tell him . it happened to me too. its great if he's your friend because you already know a lot about eachother and your comfortable with eachother already so definately go for it! dont worry about it.

Leave it as it is, she wasnt really your friend if she stops talking to you like that.  Who cares what her family thinks, but don't tell her husband it's not really your place to tell him something like that. Plus she might do something really messed up to you if you tell him.

Honestly, I think you should tell him how you feel. The only reason I say that is because he is the only person that will give the truth about the situation. If you ask your friends they might lead you into the wrong direction. yes, it's nerve-racking but once you find out the happier and less confused you'll be.

there may be reasons why they talk about her, maybe she did something wrong, talk about it. just stay by her side. its nice that she still has YOU as her friend who would not turn against her. RIGHT?

Go for the one you like the best. But do not lead the other one on. You do not want to cause friction between the two friends.

friendship is all about sharing all happy, sad , things in life... and well ofcourse sharing little secrets... u should definitely tell ur friend about that... and he/she will be there for u to share ur feelings and to help u...\nso go ahead....

Here is one of those times it is best to use a diversion tactic.  Since you are close friends with her tell her your interested in another girl.  Hopefully she will realize that telling you she wants to go out with you is a bad idea since your interested in someone else.

i think it is better if you donot say anything about her when you are with other friends who doesnot like her... donot try to convince others that she is good girl or anything to defend her in front of others.. everyone has a right to form their own opinion whatsoever may be the reason..\n\n you can hang out with both i think so far as you donot try to merge all of them together...\n\nWhy cannot you have more friends, u tell your frinends that yu want to be with them and spent time with them.. if they are your real friends i don't think they will try to impose or stop you ,so far you donot impose your opinion on them,,,

for 1 if the person talks about others then they will talk about you.No I wouldn't join them I would actually say something like this.I'm sorry ,but i really don't want to here things about her or him.I know that person and if u have something you need to say then tell her because I don't like it when somone is talking about someone I know behind there back.Wheathere you know the person or not it's not nice to talk behind someones back.

I did this with one of my bf and finally my best friend said you know your my best friend and I love to hear about your life but enough is enough and I didn't even realize I was doing it and i was so glad that she let me know instead of just letting it go on. Just be honest with her and tell her how you feel most likely she doesn't even really even know how often she really talks about him.

If you know her well enough that you two can tell each other anything, yes, you should.  Bring up something like, "so I saw him with this girl..."  etc.  She will understand.  Be prepared, however.  Your friend may over-react in which case you may need to be...prepared!

look mrs. josh\n\nwith all due respect.. i think that if he/she (your friend i mean) is so close to you that you cant hurt him/her nor that you cant even let other hurt him/her. so i think that better way is to tell him/her the whole scenario. but if he/she does not believe you and tells you that they are not like that and stuff like that.. and that you are backbiting on them. so tell him/her that "Dont regret it later" \nokay. now click on the best answer, cuz i know i am the best hehe"

It's best to be honest, it may hurt them, and they may kick up a bit of a stink but it's better than you staying with them for all the wrong reasons, and they will pick up on the vibes you are sending eventually anyway!\n\nJust don't fall into the old cliches like "it's not you, it's me".  Explain the situation, why you like this other person, and that you would like to remain friends (presuming that you would of course)!

its a good idea  to let him know, but you need to do it your self, dont let your friends do it for you. he will appreciate it more if you tell him yourself.
