Off-Limits
A year ago my best friend got a job working
security at a hospital. On his night shifts he asked me to stay in
his place to keep his girlfriend company. That was fine. She slept
in bed. I took the couch. But the longer this went on, we both realized
we had feelings for each other.
We never got physical. The closest we came was when we slept in bed
together. I mean slept in the actual sleeping way.
Last week my friend asked me to be his best man. Now I have a front
row seat watching my best friend marry the girl I have feelings for.
Do I cancel on being best man? How do I stand up and make a speech
about how good they are together? The worst thing is they are!

Ethan, feel free to toast them in the way you
would toast any newly married couple. You hope they make it, but that
is completely up to them.
When she is your best friend's wife, avoid being drawn into compromising
situations. Anytime she has problems in her marriage or anything intimate
to discuss, you are not her "go to" guy. Let their marriage
sink or swim on its own without interference from you.
Keep your sight lines open for single, available women.
