Best Friend Issue

    Ok, my best friend and I have been friends since last December, he's 18, I'm 17. We're both as stubborn as each other and for this reason we fight a lot, but it tends to only last a few hours and then its over with.

    However, there is another friend who seems to, for some reason or another, be twisting anything I say or do to make it seem like I'm a complete bitch to him. Jokingly in a conversation with her last night I mentioned that I would probably come back from college to find them together, because they've gotten inseperable lately. I just received a text saying "So you think i'm going to end up with her drunk? you're a fu-cking bitch, ignorant asshole". This was followed by another rant on how I'm such a terrible best friend, followed by a text from her saying "Oh thanks, now he's not talking to me".

    I'm so angry right now. I love my best friend, when we get along he's the best in the world and I wouldn't be without him, but the way its being lately its like a) she's turning him against everyone else and b) he's taaking on her opinions and not even asking wtf is going on.

    What do you think I should do?

    teenage love, so complicated! Don't worry. I think what you should do is swallow your pride, give the two of them a bit of space to do whatever is it they want to do, and don't force your friend to make a choice. Six months from now, I promise you, this won't be an issue, so in the meantime don't say anything that you can't take back.

    Imagine you saw two five years olds having a massive row over which one gets to play with the toy doggie - your reaction to that would be the same as my reaction to this. I'm not saying that I'm smarter than you or whatever, just that I've been around a bit longer. You'll see it yourself one day.
