I am in love with my best friend. We have been friends since kindergarten and during middle school he moved and I lost contact with him for 2 years. I just recently was able to reach him again. For 6 years I have been in love with him and it very difficult. He has no idea how I feel and I am scared to tell him. I am in a relationship with a wonderful person that I love just as much. Which only creates a bigger problem. This childhood friend of mine is always asking me for help and coming to me when he has issues with his girlfriends. And each time I help him, hiding my pain and jealousy deep below the surface. I am scared to tell him how I feel cuz I don’t want to be rejected but I also don’t want it to put a dent in our friendship. At the same time I don’t want to lose who I am with now. My only option is to keep this secret to myself and keep it locked. I don’t know how much longer I can bear the pain.
