I met someone online who has turned into a really good friend. He's the one I talk to about pretty much everything. I've had a rough time in the past.
We went on a couple of dates but it was clear from the start that circumstances meant we couldn't be together, both going through divorces, both work FT, 5 DC's between us and just very busy.
So, we stayed friends and have both got new partners who have slotted into our lives much more easily (no DC's and both partners are very easy going and independent).
The only problem is I don't think they feelings we had were wrong, just circumstances. The feelings haven't gone away but haven't been acted on. Moving on, emotionally, isn't happening for me. In my head I know why we are just friends but in my heart I feel like we've messed up a bit. I don't know why I'm posting really. I want a good talking to really.
