So, I have a best friend who used to be my boyfriend. We had some problems in the sexual arena, and my bipolar was basically totally out of control when we were together and it caused a lot of problems. I latched on too tight and pushed him away, but he was nice enough to stay my friend where others would have abandoned me.

I have dated others since then on and off but nothing serious, and its about 6 years later.

Anyway, I had a serious reality check today when I had a hard day at my first day at a new job. He basically held my hand over the phone as he talked me through my troubles and worries.

I think I am falling in love with him all over again as I did years ago.

Any advice on how to approach this? I don't want it to get weird.
