Question by Jesus_is_Lord: How do I explain to my old best friend that I have a new best friend?
I have a wide circle of friends and one friend I have been particularly close to for about seven years. Recently, a lady who joined my church became a very close friend as well. She and I hit it off really well and I think she and I have become better, closer friends than my best friend of seven years. So, how do I explain to my old best friend that I have a new best friend? Or is it necessary to explain it to her at all? Can you have more than one “best friend”? In a way, I feel like I am betraying my best friend of seven years because I always made a big deal out of her being my best friend, but my new best friend and I see each other every week. Should I feel this way? Am I making too big a deal out of it?

It is hard when your having friend issues. Don’t come right out and say something like i replaced you, just when church or friends come up, mention your new friend and say you really like her. If your old friend becomes offended, start the convo up again with a memory you share with her.
