I have a thirty year friendship with a woman i grew up with, we have been friends all that time, we have supported each other through difficult times and both helped each other.
I moved away and went to say my goodbye before and she got very emotional, in the moment we told each other we loved each other.
We have always kissed each other, for hellos and goodbyes, but on this occasion we had a very passionate kiss and some, well what was foreplay, and then I left. Since then we meet up every few months, our kisses are starting to linger a bit longer than they, did, we hold hands crossing the road or passing through doors, and have done this for 20 odd years. we go out as a group sometimes with our circle of friends without our partners, they both know about our friendship, and have no bother with it. She has stated to become more tactile, putting my hand on her leg in restaurants, out of view, to feel her legs when wearing stockings, we have always had a fun view of our friendship, however, I feel it taking a turn, she sneaks kisses and out of view of our friends and they all know we kiss each other and they take the mickey out of us saying we should have got married when we were teenagers. Now recent meets have gathered pace and I'm worried we are almost crossing the line to an affair, ive made excuses not to visit, to avoid the situation, but she is becoming more and more' touchy feely'.
After all this time I don't want our special friendship to end but i feel we have crossed the line and are in a dangerous place.
I the past we have been drunk and had a few 'near misses' but never taken it further.
Is it time to cool it altogether. its a tricky one
