I had to read through this thing to see if anyone touched upon this. You never mentioned if she has ever had sexual relations with her friend or other women. You claim she is in love with this person but does she understand sex versus friendship? She may not have sexual feeling for the other woman but wants to be very good friends with her. I have known several women who have best friends and might be considered 'girlfriends'. As you grow older you will see women often hang out together like a pride of lions.

Don't over think this. If she goes off with her friend you move on.

Yeah, usually bec they love hiding their affection
Love getting shunned
Love getting fired or not hired
Love not being rented to
Love not bringing their partners to family holidays and office parties
Love, especially, hiding visiting same gender friends from neighbors
Love, especially then, getting "f**g*ts" spray painted on their homes
Love walking down streets getting targeted for beatings

Yes, their are many reasons they turn to homosexuality...all the perks.
Choices have consequences.

Oh, but if it's a choice, you should be able to switch, right? So, if you're straight and people hate you, you can just 'flip a switch' and turn it off?

Riiiiight.

OP, I don't think you can get someone to fall out of love for someone else. I imagine she would not like you doing that anyway. Is she being sexual with this person, or just a friend?

maybe it was just "transference" if this girl helped your gf get past depression and some other stuff, maybe she just thought love feelings, sort of like a patient with think they are "in love" with their therapist
she might just be confusing feelings, who knows?

Feelings are complicated...sometimes they just cause problem. These days everything is driven by 'feelings', I don't know what to say, male or female, if someone really is bisexual or even biromantic the same rules of exclusivity apply IMO. If I were you, I'd prefer someone to be exclusive.

Heller's investigations of Earth soon reveal to him that the entire planet is in the grip of a vast organized corporate conspiracy headed by the Rockecenter corporation and its head, Delbert John Rockecenter (the similarity to "John D. Rockefeller" is one of many blatant puns and references included in the series by Hubbard). Rockecenter is the head of a vast oil-producing corporation that keeps the population of Earth under control by using drugs and rock and roll music to keep the population sedate. (Rock music is used in the novel to spread sexual deviancy, especially homosexuality, among the population of Earth.)
Mission Earth (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Somewhere towards the middle of that epic novel, there is a very simple and efficient method described, how to cure a female from homosexual inclinations. Honestly, don't remeber which one, it was long time since I read it.

It is quite possible that your girlfriend doesn't know herself or her sexual identity that well yet. I would urge her to find out where she is on the Kinsey scale and make sure she is not just a repressed lesbian, as that means she will not likely get her sexual needs met with you and it may bode ill for your relationship long term. If she is bisexual that is another matter. Then it's no different than anyone having conflicted feelings about a former love. Your objective in that case is not to help her get over this unrequited love in her past, but to decide which she wants to pursue. If she remains indecisive then she needs to declare herself to the other person and either be accepted or rejected, and you have to allow that to happen and allow your relationship to land wherever it lands. It's the old saw about setting the one you love free. Trust me, the last thing you want is for her to be with you because she feels obligated and loyal rather than because she has actually chosen you.
