Dear Anna,
My partner and I have been together for a little over three years. Our relationship developed from an incredibly close friendship to more because she was there for me in a dark time, and I for her. About a year ago she found a new best friend who is completely reliant on her in every way. My partner is the most loving, selfless and caring person in the world and is happiest when giving to others. It is one of the things I love about her. But I can't kick my jealousy.
No one ever teaches same-gender couples how to navigate close friendships. My partner recently found out some scary news from her family and didn't tell me for a long time but told her best friend immediately. She sleeps there almost every night and when I try to be there for her she tells me she'll only take out her frustration with me. I don't know how this happened but I feel like I've lost her and that I am not her person anymore. Should I keep trying to win her back or step aside? — Sad Lady
