I’ve been denying these feelings for someone because the situation is too complicated but now that I’ve been hearing some nasty comments about the situation, I decided I needed to address it. I’m in love with someone who’s in a relationship with someone else, with whom he has a young child. As I said, I’ve been trying to shake it off and deny everything, especially to myself, but now that people are commenting on our chemistry and how close we seem, I’m starting to feel horrible. The truth is I think we both have feelings for eachother, eventhough we never spoke about or acted upon them. I swear nothing happened, but I can’t help but feel this deep connection to this person and it’s as if I’m part of a betrayal anyway. To make the matters worst, we share the same workplace, so you can imagine the gossip. I can’t even begin to think about what people might think I do. Maybe they think I seduce him or something. I spoke to him for the first time about the gossip and he told me he would never do anything to hurt me and thanked me for addressing it first. Now that the cat is out of the box, I’m panicking. There’s only two ways to solve this and I’m terrified about both, to be honest. In a way, I wish I could go back to denial and keep just enjoying his company, but I know that wouldn’t last. I would never allow for something to happen while he is with someone else. I have this terrible feeling he’s gonna say I’m just not enough to leave his girlfriend and mother of his child, and I know rationally that’s the best solution. Only this wonderful solution is gonna break my heart into a million pieces, and it will be up to me to pick them up. Alone.
