In love with my friend

[MagicDragonsPuff]

He’s 12 years younger than me, he’s late 30’s
He’s so beautiful, he has a partner, a kid and one on the way. I know I know!!

Sat in the pub with him and 2 others (not his partner) on Thursday.
Sat next to each other chatting, his leg touched mine for about 3 mins then he moved a bit in his seat, legs not touching then he touched mine again with his leg for 30 seconds or so.

We hugged for about 1 minute when he left, he told me he loved me, I said I love you… off he went.

4 years I’ve known him and 4 years I’ve been in love with him.

Just putting this out to the universe

I would try and put some distance between you and let the contact fade away altogether else you are just setting yourself up to live in an unhealthy state where you live in a fantasy world and put him on a pedestal of which he may not always be deserving of.

Well… this is the point at which you make a choice. Are you going to pursue this man who has one young child and a pregnant partner, or are you going to back right off? It only gets harder from here.

You really do need to distance yourself.

Either he is happy and you will end up feeling like crap over unrequited love, or he was flirting with you, which makes him an asshole as he has a pregnant partner and a child and he is untrustworthy.

Neither scenario is good for you.

Yeah stay away. Don't be an arsehole.

You know what, he'd probably have sex with you, given what happened, but then he'd go back to his partner. You'd feel terrible then.

Avoid meeting up with him and avoid messaging, too, unless it's in a group chat.

If you can't put yourself first, put that baby first and his partner. Don't be that kind of shit that causes pain to other people.

Imagine you had a young child and a baby on the way and your partners friend made a move on him.

Don't be that selfish person, keep your distance and let him get on with his life.
