Cosy my concern would be
if this is going to be the first of many friendships that your boyfriend tries to run out of your life.

Cosy,
I agree 100% with what Quirky said. As  a lesbian, I've been in a similar situation. My best friend and I were very close, but not sexual with each other. Her b/f was jealous, my g/f was jealous. We treasured each other and weren't about to let them keep us from being friends. It took some time, but it all worked out.

This is why 12 step programs say to keep away from relationships for the first year.  I know it seems like a big issue, but this will only be a side track to take your focus away from where it should be....you.  Your wants and your needs, your ability to make your own choices.  That is what recovery is all about.

Oh Quirk...I agree so much...
I'm going to have him read these comments 2 see if they help...or should I not show him? Talking hasn't helped. Thanks...

No you should not have to choose, but obviously he feels threatened because she has expressed her affection for you in a way he is uncomfortable with (my take on that anyway). Can you have a discussion with him about that, and explain that you feel you don't want to throw her friendship away because it means a lot to you? If that doesn't work...he's not worth it because no one who cares about another would ask them to throw away a friendship for those reasons.

It sounds like he may feel threatened. True friends are hard to come by......still, you should not have to choose between the two. If they both love you, the will work it out

Never fair to have to choose between two...two people who care about you and respect you...should be able to come to some amicable terms...out of love...if nothing else.

He would've never stayed with me to hel out in the 'state" I was before...
He's told me! He say's it isn't distrust simply a matter of respect....but whichever, is it fair to shut one out 4 the other? Thanks FactorFiction...

Was this boyfriend there for you when you
needed him as she was? Will he be there for you if you need him in the future? My first instinct is that if he does not trust you then I personally would not keep him unless he was willing to work on overcoming that distrust. And if he could not get over it, he'd go. But that's me.
