I’m in love with a friend I met online years and years ago. Ever since I’ve known them, they’ve been dating someone they truly enjoy and love being with. When it became clear they were going to get married to their longtime S.O, I confessed to them (not attempting to derail a wedding or anything) after years of talking with them how I felt and they admitted feeling the same, and had locations been different, things would probably have been very different, in the sense we’d maybe be together. It gave me some comfort to know the feelings were not one sided, but it hurt knowing the distance is what stopped it. It’s been a couple of years since then now, and I still have feelings for them. We still talk very regularly and they are very happy with their marriage. I am so incredibly happy for them and their S.O, and I’m very glad both were able to find someone to fulfill their lives. I am, however, saddened in knowing the person I have the most feelings for is someone who shared those feelings, but I will never be with them
