cheating. Options

[starmoonshore]

i have this very close friend of mine. however, i found out that my close friend likes me. at first im ok with it, but as soon as it pass, im bothered by it and i dont know what to do. i have a boyfriend and i told him that my friend likes me. he told me it's normal for a person to like someone however he told me i need to avoid him as much as i can. but im afraid to do so because the fact that he's the one who's helping me whenever i have a problem. he's like my bestfriend. and also im afraid that i comfortable to hang out with my friend rather than my own boyfriend. however, as much as possible i want to be faithful with my boyfriend. i don't know... im clueless on what im doing? i know what im doing and decisions are somehow wrong. but can you guys help me out? please. thanks. i really dont know what to do. im really stuck in the middle.
