Aaand, this has happened to me, and I was the Dhruv there. I started off as being the matchmaker between my two best friends, and I fell for him HARD, enroute. You know what happened?
She figured out, and supported me. No, she didn't sacrifice, she helped me deal with it. She didn't force me to get over him, nor did she give me any false hopes. And then, he figured out. And boy! Was he understanding or what! They both stood by me throughout till the time I got over it, which did take a long time-it was my first, and I continued being there biggest supporter, and that made the three of us the closest friends there ever have been. This happened some 7 years ago, and we are still topmost on our speed dials.
What I'm saying is, it all depends on the people involved. There is no rule per se, that this is the right thing to do. For us three, this was the best thing to have happened to us. For someone else, this could have been the end of it all. Where forgetting him would have been the wrong choice for us, it could be perfect for someone els. Maybe I was able to back off because I knew how much in love they were. e. Or maybe, this all worked out because the THREE of us were bestfriends, I don't know. But you get my point. :D
