A few years back I got back in touch with my old best friend, after years of not speaking. We quickly became best friends again, and her new boyfriend and I almost immediately got along really well.
It’s been a few years now, and her boyfriend and I have gotten even closer and more comfortable with each other. The other night he had been drinking and we finally spoke up ( after she had gone to bed) about how there is definite s***** tension between us, and how the conversations that we have through text are actually pretty flirty and inappropriate. The convo went on for a couple hours, nothing happened and I made it clear that nothing ever will, as I will not ruin my friendship with her over anything in the world.
Ever since though, I keep thinking about him, and getting butterflies whenever he messages me, I feel terrible about it!
I think I am a good friend, and I will definitely never cross a physical line with him, but I can’t help trying to justify the flirting, and continuing what is essentially an emotional affair.
I need to stop!!!!
