I'm in love with my best friend. He has a daughter who I adore and who adores me so I'm not prepared to cut all ties as this would really hurt her. I just want us to become platonic friends and for these feelings to fade.
He's told me that he's met someone. I didn't sleep a wink last night as I was so upset but I couldn't cry, just felt this horrible feeling in my stomach.
In some ways this is good, I'll have to swallow my feelings and meet her if things go well. Then it'll be more real that he and I will never work and I'll hopefully start to move on.
I just need to get through the next few weeks which will be painful. I'm behind on work as I just can't concentrate and sleeping is difficult. Any advice from someone who has been there?
