re: "Dear Killz" Advice and Help Column

WCA,

I'm asking these questions because I'm trying to build a profile of your situation. What I do is try to place myself in your situation and then I brainstorm all of the possible ways that I would react in that situation.

Here is what I can tell you. Not much in life is better than being in a relationship with your best friend. The only thing better is marrying and having children with your best friend.

I'm incredibly fortunate that I've done both - married and had children with my best friend.

However, we were simply best friends first before we started dating.

Dating her was the best decision I've ever made, albeit extremely risky for our friendship.

You just need to be honest with her. She's upset right now and feels embarrassed, humiliated, stupid, etc., and she's just taking it out on you at the moment.

She won't stop loving you as a friend unless you become shady or distant.

Without a doubt, honesty is the best policy if you want lasting relationships.
