What should i do

I’m an Spanish 16 yo boy (sorry for English mistakes)
A long time ago I became friends with 4 girls because they treated me well when I had almost no one and since then they became very important to me and about a year ago I fell in love with one of them and I know that she loves me although probably not as a boyfriend but as a good friend and it turns out that this girl has a somewhat jealous and controlling boyfriend who does not like her to get together with other guys and many times despite being a long-distance teenage relationship he embitters her many nights with his messages and calls of jealousy and I am also afraid that I will take her away from me not only as a couple but as a friend because she is very important to me and now I don't know what to do because despite everything they are still together and I don't know what to do with all this I don't know why or how I should pray, I don't know if I should get away from her, I don't know if I should be disowned to be just a friend or if I should still trust and pray for her love because as St. Paul says to the Corinthians, love is patient and endures everything but he also says that it doesn't seek its own happiness and I don't know what I should do for her, for me and with God

Why is there a debt to pay with indulgences?

First of all I’m sorry if I write something wrong I’m not a native English speaker
The thing is that I didn’t know about indulgence until I saw a little note about them in an old bible and what I don’t understand is that if Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the debt for our sins and we have been forgiven in confession, what are indulgence for? Why is there still a debt?

The meaning of the word "ἐμοίχευσεν" Matthew 5:28 in Konie greek

Hi in Matthew 5:28 (NIV), it reads "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." The Konie greek word begin used for adultery is "ἐμοίχευσεν".

I would like to ask if reading Matthew 5:27 and Matthew 5:28 together in context in Konie greek, I would like to ask:

  1. was jesus intended to address married male or male in general?

  2. was jesus redefining the word "ἐμοίχευσεν" to include looking at woman lustfully regardless if the act of lust was done by an married or single male on a married or single female?

  3. was the use of the word "ἐμοίχευσεν" refer to our current definition of adultery which mean "sex between a married person and someone who is not their husband or wife" ?
