An Unfortunate Situation

This has been bugging me for the last 6 or so weeks and I figured I might as well share it with you, since no one else I know has given me any decent advice on it.

Ok, here's the situation. I have this friend, I consider her to be my best friend and so does she. I have known her for quite some time now and at one point we also were invloved. It didn't work out because she ended up moving to NY and I am on the west coast. We remained very very close though, like I said, Best Friends. We would talk on the phone every night, but it wasn't sexual, just as friends. Anyway, a few months ago, she started seeing this guy and now they are offically dating. The only problem is, he is so insanely jealous about the relationship she and I have that we barely talk anymore. He won't let her call me if they are together and she even has to email me on the sly.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy for her, and I am glad she found someone, however I am not thrilled about the fact that he doesn't want her talking to me. Apparently he is extremely insecure and feels I am a threat. I am not a threat though, she is just my best friend. She said she would talk to him about this, but so far hasn't gotten up the nerve to.

I feel like maybe I should just accept the fact that while she is with this guy that I am the forbidden fruit and just stop talking to her. On the other hand, she is such a close friend that I don't want to let it go because of some moron's insecurities. This is such a tough situation because I want her to be happy with this guy and not mess anything up by me being involved, but I feel like I am having my best friend taken away.

The last 6 weeks I have tried not to contact her as much and I guess I feel like I should maybe keep it that way indefinitely. Just wondering if anyone else has been in such a situation. I would really be curious to know how you handled it and the end result.

Thanks
