"Last week, when we talked about disliking our friends&amp;amp;#8217; boyfriends and husbands, one brave reader shared that her best friend&amp;amp;#8217;s boyfriend hits on her all the time. She&amp;amp;#8217;s fed up but she&amp;amp;#8217;s not quite sure what she should do. Weigh in after the jump. Here&amp;amp;#8217;s our lovely reader&amp;amp;#8217;s question: My best friend&amp;#x27;s boyfriend hits on me all the time. It started out fine and we all hung out together but then he started getting really inappropriate when she wasn&amp;#x27;t around. I try to stop him but it doesn&amp;#x27;t work. I really don&amp;#x27;t want to tell my friend because I know she&amp;#x27;ll just get mad but at the same time she needs to know what&amp;#x27;s going on. I have no idea what to do. --livster_329 And now for my two cents: Thanks for reaching out! Interestingly, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been the girl whose boyfriend hit on her friends so I hope my experience can help. A few years ago, I was in a relationship with a hipster music snob. After awhile, the chemistry faded and we ended things. Weeks after the break up, a friend confided that he&amp;amp;#8217;d often make passes at her when I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t around! I was so angry with him&amp;amp;#8212;and myself. I felt stupid for not noticing and confused that she waited so long to tell me. Eventually, I understood that she was worried she&amp;amp;#8217;d hurt my feelings by telling me&amp;amp;#8212;when in reality, I was only hurt that she didn&amp;amp;#8217;t tell me earlier. And if she had told me, I&amp;amp;#8217;m sure I would have ended the relationship much sooner. The writing was on the wall that he was kind of a creep and had I known he&amp;amp;#8217;d been so sleazy with my friend, I would have not have let the relationship go on for as long as it did. Also, I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t mad at all mad at my friend; I never for a minute thought that she was trying to be vindictive or steal my boyfriend or anything like that. I only wish she had told me sooner. Some guys have flirty personalities but it sounds like your friend&amp;amp;#8217;s boyfriend has gone beyond that. I think it&amp;amp;#8217;s pretty sketchy that he continues to hit on you&amp;amp;#8212;and make you feel uncomfortable&amp;amp;#8212;especially after you&amp;amp;#8217;ve told him he&amp;amp;#8217;s being inappropriate. I know it seems scary, but I&amp;amp;#8217;d recommend sitting down with your friend for a quiet one-on-one chat. Explain what her boyfriend&amp;amp;#8217;s been up to, how you&amp;amp;#8217;ve repeatedly told him to stop and how uncomfortable the whole shady situation makes you. Also, stress that you&amp;amp;#8217;re telling her because you care about her. She might get upset, or even angry at first. But know that her resentment isn&amp;amp;#8217;t likely directed at you. She may want some time alone to cool off and collect her thoughts, but if she&amp;amp;#8217;s a good friend like you are to her, she&amp;amp;#8217;ll appreciate your honesty and realize that you have her best interests in mind. Good luck! What do you think darling readers? Have you ever had to tell a friend about her boyfriend&amp;amp;#8217;s shady behavior? How did she take the news? Or, like me, have you been the one with the shady boyfriend? Did a friend break the news to you? How&amp;#x27;d you take it? If you&amp;#x27;re lucky enough never to have had a creepy boyfriend like this, how do you think you&amp;#x27;d react? P.S. Do you have any dilemmas you&amp;amp;#8217;d like covered in a future post?
