Hi there. Recently my friend and I went to a rough time. Our relationship is still kinda strained. She was one of the most genuine persons I have ever met. She could always put a smile on my face no matter how down I was. Just seeing her name when she texted me, snapped me, or sent me a tweet was enough to brighten my whole day. You probably see where this is going. Yes. I fell for her. Hard. I was never gonna tell her though. She's been through so much in her life and she needed me as a friend more than a boyfriend. But I messed up. I couldn't stop myself. I had to tell her. It was too much for me to keep down. I hadn't felt this way in years. I was happy on a consistent basis. I miss her. She is irreplaceable.

I'm so sorry, @HayMich
 Things like this are always complicated. No one is at fault here. I'd say you have two options: try to keep her as a friend like you did before by repressing your feelings, which may be very hard to do, or just decide to put an end to this friendship so that you'll be able to move on. They are both rather painful decisions. I don't blame you AT ALL for struggling. I hope whathever decision you make will be the best one for you. Wishing you plenty of peace and love and sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you and her, HayMich

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
