My best friend and my girlfriend are very closely related, being sisters.

Now if you were in the situation and you felt you had to choose between the two, where would your loyalties lie?

In my case, the following things apply.

I have never had anyone I can talk to like the friend. She is the most supportive and helpful person I have ever met. I also live with her.

I've never felt anything towards anyone like what I feel towards the sister, she really is quite special. However, I do only get to see her every other month at the very most.

Both of them mean a lot to me, yet as things are unfolding currently, it looks like I may only be able to 'keep' the one of them. What the hell am I supposed to do? :(
 
Girlfriends come and go. Good friends don't. Ideally you want to keep both but if that can't happen then the friend is always a good bet. If you lose the friend, the girlfriend could get fed up and walk away a week later, then you've lost both.
 
its a bit difficult when they are related though, hurting one may cause problems with the other depending on how close they are.

although i question your maths skills - 26+6 does not equal 1;

Been in a similar situation and choosing the friend is nearly always the best way to go!
 
Depends how old you are.

Friends, as with girlfriends, come and go a lot more randomly when you're younger but, as you get older, you realise that your friends are more permanent and longer lasting.

In both cases though, I'd say the friend. Friends will always be there. Girlfriends, not.
 
Why can you only keep one. Surely the good friend will understand if you are attracted to her sister and not her. This is unless the good friend has feelings for you?

do you mean you want to dump your girlfriend to go out with her sister who you live with?

no, i think he lives with a girl who is a really good mate but he fancies her sister
 
Well they were both very close, but recently they've been falling out a bit etc.

After various discussions with both of them, I think me being with the sister is causing problems not only with my friendship, but also to my friends general happiness.

:/


It all seems a lot worse and complicated when you're drunk and its 6am though.
 
Maybe your friend should have some consideration for your relationship. If she's not happy with your partner, thats her problem and should stay that way. Don't dump the one you love just because a friend doesn't like her, tell your friend to get the hell over it for your sake.
Sheesh, get male friends already. You can punch them when they're out of line ;)
