Unrequited love (is a big pile of crap)
Relationship Stress / by laracroft

...See more Hello, you lovely lot! Okay, I'm going in at the deep end! I am in love with my best friend. He is twice my age, has been with his girlfriend for over 10 years, and is the kindest, most generous and lovely person that I have ever met. I've known him for just over a year now, and been in love with him for exactly one year. There was a period where I didn't see him for a few months, and the distance made the love more friend-like, but then I started seeing him a lot again and it all came rushing back like a giant bloody wave! I don't think he loves me. That's the thing that bugs me. I don't know that he doesn't, I just don't think he does. I cling onto hope so bad- the constant inside jokes that we have, the intimate hugs and eye contact that lasts a little bit too long. We're best friends, so I would never tell him how I feel. I feel lucky enough to be in his life as his best friend, and I couldn't imagine losing that. But it's so frustrating. I want to travel the world with him, I want to speak to him all of the time. I want to be with him, but I know due to the obvious fact that he has a girlfriend, that I never can. The problem is, whilst he is my best friend, I know that this feeling is always going to be there. This is where I need some of your advice! Should I give it some distance (we speak pretty much every day) to get over him? I'm open to any suggestions of how to cope with this! Thank you thank you thank you for reading this ramble :-)
