Dear Breakup Girl,

I'm in a very precarious situation. I have a best friend who is one of the coolest chicks I've ever known. On the other hand, I have a girlfriend who is the best girlfriend I have ever had. However, recently my girlfriend has politely told me that while she likes my best friend, she would prefer it if I not stay at her house on certain weekends anymore. Is she overreacting? Am I underreacting? What do I do?

--Torn in Boston

Dear Torn in Boston,

You are allowed to have friend-girls, even best-friend-girls.

Your girlfriend is allowed to request -- even if she has nothing to fear (RIGHT?!) -- that you not sleep over chez said best friend. Boundaries, dude, boundaries. Principle of the thing.

You are advised to honor that request. That is, to do what it takes to be the best boyfriend you've ever been to anyone you call the best girlfriend you've ever had.

Love,
Breakup Girl
