Am I crossing the line?

[banddmagic1]

This doesn't relate to tickling, so putting it in general...so first off, it should be known that I am in a committed relationship. I also have a lot of female friends that I have had since college, some are very close, totally platonic, my significant other doesn't care. I've hung out with one in particular on my own and it's no big deal to her. She's also said that once you are out of college and our age, new m/f friendships without something sexual behind it. I'm not sure if I agree with that..

Anyway, there is another girl I'm friends with that I have been more acquaintances with for a few years, and we've found recently that we share some very similar interests... Brand of humor, etc that my s.o. Has no interest in. I find that we are constantly texting each other funny videos etc. talking more frequently via text, really enjoying each other's company. It never gets flirty, it never crosses the friend line, but the frequency of our talks, the feelings I'm having for her, the wondering what she thinks of me is on my mind a lot. I sometimes wonder what being with her would be like, but I would never cheat, and I don't want to break up either. I guess I'm wondering if I have something to hide. Have I crossed the line? What is the line? I don't tell my so how much we talk, but I also don't delete texts or anything. I think the only thing that would be concerning from the outside is how much we talk, that were developing sort of a BFF relationship via text... I don't know. Thoughts? I really want to do the right thing. But I don't know if I'm doing the wrong thing now.

Crossing the line would be doing something, that might potentially hurt your partner's feelings. If she's fine with you having female friends, then I don't think you're doing anything wrong. If she was not tolerating it, I think in my opinion it would be time to reevaluate your relationship, because that kind of thinking is just irrational jealousy.
Even if you are having... confusing feelings about her, I don't necessarily think there is a problem as long as you're both fine with your status quo as friends. In my opinion, one can be only judged on his actions, not on what he/she thinks feels and having a best friend of opposite gender should be fine by even the most monogamous standards.

I'm in no way expert on relationships, so that's just my opinion. What I usually do when trying to decide if something is right, is to consider the consequences and evaluate the impact on people's feelings and in that case, I don't think there's anything wrong in what you are currently doing, since everybody seems to be happy with the things such as they are now.
