How can I tell Jenny to back off a bit without upsetting her too much? I don't want her to think that I don't care, because I do and I'll always be here for her. But our closeness causes problems in my relationship with Annie, and I don't want that to keep happening. I'm just not sure what to say to Jenny. I still want her to be able to confide in me, and I want to try to help her, but I guess it's going too far. Annie is afraid that I'm having an "emotional relationship" with Jenny. Depending on how you look at it, I suppose that could be true. But it's nothing like that. I'm just always there for her, and I know she'll always be there for me. Plus we have a son together. There is always going to be an emotional bond there.

I need to stop devoting so much time to Jenny. I can't keep talking to her all the time, because it's upsetting Annie. But I need to be there for Jenny at the same time. It's frustrating.

Still craving a drink. But obviously a cigarette will have to do.

I think we all have emotional relationships with all our close friends. That's why they are close. I think you should say to her what you just said in the 2nd and 3rd sentances, it explains it perfectly. And sooner rather that later or she may feel she's got a chance. She needs to know now where she stands. I think Annie needs to hear you say this to her.
