About 5 years ago, I went through this pain. Falling in love with a woman who was in a relationship at the time, but being told the entire time that when she left him we would be together. Well, that definitely did not end well she stayed with the guy, and it just sunk me even deeper into depression and therapy. I swore I would never be in a situation again like that, because it literally almost killed me.

Well my God, I am in the same situation again. Having became friends with someone, and have ended up being in love with that person. It is so painful being friends now with her, because I want more but she is in a relationship. I totally do not believe you pick who you fall in love with or develop feeling for. I have always said you could walk into a room with a 100 people, but there will that one person that you are drawn to. I keep telling myself just to walk away from the situation, but at the same time if I do than I lose a friend that means a great deal to me. I am seeing a psychiatrist for depression, but this situation I am in is a double edged sword. I am happy when I am around her, but also miserable.

If anyone has been in this type of Unrequited Love situation than you know it is pure hell. It is simply living life to suffer. Suffering.
