Simivin,
It sounds like you both are making a great effort at your relationship. However, I find it hard to agree to change your relationship with your friend. I somewhat understand what you are facing. Because of the limited contact I had to other girls my age growing up, I find it much easier to have friendships with guys. One of my very good friends is a guy and my husband had a real problem with it...almost to the point of divorce. I refused to let him make me lose that friendship (as I don't have too many anyway). I just tried my best to show him that he was the one I wanted to come home to, be with, have an intimate relationship with, etc. Eventually he accepted that my friend is just that, a very dear friend and not a threat.
I don't know if this is any help, or even relevant, but keep working. It sounds like you two are great people that know that relationships take work.
