My friend and I were in a heated argument about our friendship and her relationship with her boyfriend, and somehow we ended up having sex. We are both in relationships but are in awkward positions. What should we do?

Yes, this is indeed awkward. I'm going to try to answer this from the perspective of 2 people who made a mistake and now want to make things less awkward between them. Talk with her about it. Are there feelings between you two that should be explored? Are one or both of you not happy in your respective relationships and this happened as a result? The first one is up for discussion between the two of you. The second you will each have to figure out for yourselves. If your friendship is suffering because of it, try and put the focus back on what you enjoy about being her friend. The awkward moments will eventually subside. Either way, you are both seeing other people and if that is what you both intend to continue doing, then go with the "3 Fs" approach (fine, f****, and forget it). It happened, but dwelling on it has no value. If you both decide to can your significant others and date each other, then try to start out on a better foot. In other words, even though there is some physical chemistry, put it aside while you develop a better relationship with each other outside of bed. :)

That is just brings one word to my mind, and you said it, awkward. I think you guys should sit down and evaluate what has transpired. You guys need to determine if this happened for the right reasons, or poor decision making. I would do the unthinkable and be brutally honest to your significant others, you owe it to them. Ultimately, is it worth the risk of potentially starting something new at the expense of destroying an age old friendship? Good luck.
