Dear Dish-It,
I’m a girl with a best friend doesn't like me and tries to make it hard for me to be around him. Once she told him to choose between me and her! He told her goodbye, but then they got back together. She’s not hateful to me all the time – I try to get along with her but it’s not always easy. When she’s mean, I usually just stay away from her – and my BFF comes with me, since he doesn’t like the way she acts, either. I’m totally frustrated with this situation – what should I do?

Dear CF,
It seems to me like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place (as the saying goes). On the one side, you want to stay close with your best friendship with her boyfriend – your BFF) who would rather you have nothing to do with her man. What do you do?
The answer is nothing. There’s nothing you can do and nothing you should do in this situation. Your best friend has chosen to be in a relationship with this girl, and you need to respect that (especially if he means as much to you as you say he does). You must be careful not to do anything that puts you in the middle of them or their relationship – which means stay out of it and stay away!
I’m sorry to be harsh, but this is the reality of the situation. Until your best friend forever.
