Friends With Benefits

Posted by Cherie Burbach Jan 9, 2008

Every once in a while I get an email from someone that asks me about a murky love problem. Often, the problem arises from a "friend with benefits" situation.

Sometimes the problem is that the person involved with their friend has just found love and doesn't quite know what to do with their friend now. The friendship has been transformed from something supportive and positive to something else. Now, it's a burden.

Once in a while people are not sure how to handle their new relationship, AND the relationship with their friend. Sometimes the friend acts like anything but out of feeling of jealousy that this supposedly casual relationship felt like more. At least to them.
