I had a childhood friend I spent all my time with until his family moved to another country. Despite being milennials we wrote letters to each other for years after this and spoke on the phone every other night.
We then had a series of relationships, none worked out. He told me I was his exact type and that we’d marry someday which I brushed off! We then dated several other people and then ended up living in the same country. We went on holiday with our partners and remained close.
Now I’m with a man I’ll probably marry. He’s likely a better match than my friend because we are compatible rather than passionate and fiery.
last week sent me a song that reminds him of me. It’s about a man of his nationality that proposes to a woman of my nationality. I have a deep love for him like family. We’re both early 30s and I think we’ll always wonder if but never take action and spend our lives with other people. We’ve now been friends for 22 years.
I just felt like getting that out. Sometimes I’m fine with it and other times I just feel sad about unfinished business…
