I haven't got a good way to articulate my predicament, though it's very real. My best friend (whom I love more than anybody else) is a 16-year-old second-generation Muslim female. She's soon to be engaged. I can't possibly convey the pain I feel. I know it's unfair. She's been abused her entire life, has an eating disorder, life-long depression and is aromantic and asexual. And I know nobody can possibly love her or take better care of her than I would. How dare he try to take her away from me?
