Answer:

Hello Sammie,

While there is nothing wrong with being bi I’m sure that you feel pretty betrayed by your best friend. Coming out to your boyfriend should have been on your own time, when you were ready. Being outted when you are not ready can be extremely damaging and painful.

Have you talked to your best friend and expressed how you feel about her telling your boyfriend? Whatever feelings you may be having, she should know about them. As far as your boyfriend, have you talked to him about it? I know you said he seems ok, but do you know how he feels for sure? I suggest that you sit down and talk to him. Ask him how he feels, and tell him how you feel. Communication is the most important thing with both him and your best friend.
