Can you talk to her about it? Without fighting? This does add another level of complexity to the situation, but it's not a death sentence. If they're friends, they're friends. you just have to be more attractive to her than him. You do that by doing your 180's, acting "as if," being her friend, and being her MAN! Be kind but not a doormat. There is a balance.
Do little things for her that she wouldn't expect - not too much or it's pursuing. The little things add up, and it's the little things that women like. Remember back to when you were really happy, and what did she like? Try to do some of those things, to jog her memeory back to when things were good, instead of all the negative crap she has in her head right now.
I'm with you man, keep the faith, it'll all work out. Don't give up!
We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.
