Hi what shall I do. ?. I have a really close connection to my best friend yet I.m in a relationship. Which I don't want to break up. Yet I feel so deeply for him . And want to be around him and think about him most of the time. How do I stop feeling this way to save our friendship

I don't how long you've felt this way but If you're mates with any guy you can't keep out of your mind most days, I don't think your relationship is going work. Your partner obviously knows your friend exists, he's probably cool with it because he trusts you. You're obviously downplaying how you really feel and making out everything is fine so why wouldn't he? But that's dishonest and not something a man would remember you fondly for. If your friend is actually the love of your life you need to exit your current situation with integrity and respect. Then take a risk. Why you haven't done so when single only you could know.

Being totally honest here, would you consider your current partner anymore if your friend were to suddenly declare his love for you? I dunno, your OP kinda reads like your partner is the safety net in case you're rejected. Forgive me if I'm off the ball. But would your friendship remain strong if it turned out feelings weren't mutual? Who knows, maybe they are but you need to think everything through very carefully and be brutally honest with yourself.

Hope everything works out for you OP
