My boyfriend and I are happily together. We have no problems, share all of our money, and live together. I have never had any feelings for anyone but him since we've been together, and I never will. Our best friends are a couple that we've been close to since my boyfriend and I started dating. The guy and I used to date some time ago. We both knew that we would never last past high school — this was senior year. He was a good friend, but our relationship was never much more than that; we never said 'I love you' or even expressed those kind of feelings. We broke up, and I did not see him again until he was dating his current girlfriend.

We have had many double dates with them. The girlfriend has been one of my best friends. I call her when things get rough, and whenever I see really cool things, I am always dying to tell her. Her boyfriend and mine get along great, too. But this weekend something arose that I would have never expected. We had plans with them, but when I tried to call neither would answer their phone. Finally, the guy answered and told us that they couldn't hang out because, as it turns out, for the past year his girlfriend has felt that I have feelings for her boyfriend (and vice versa) and she just wants to "let it [our friendship] go."

She would not speak to me, and since then I've sent her an email trying to say that I have no feelings for her boyfriend. It kills me that I can't be her friend, but even more so, I just don't understand. I hate to lose two of my best friends. Especially since they were close to my boyfriend, too. I have been losing a lot of sleep, and I keep just breaking down into tears. Do you have any advice?
