Omg, the past week has been the most stressful week of my life. My best friend from Texas came to visit me while my boyfriend went to Puerto Rico for family. I haven't seen my best friend in like months so I spent a lot of time with him. The first day we hang out, and he tells me he loves me. Not like "I love you as a friend" he meant "I'm in love with you." Just to let you know, back in 8th grade I used to like him too. It's been two years since then and he still
likes loves me. I didn't know what to say when he told me that so I just asked him "Seriously?" and he said "Yes."
It wasn't awkward after that, I just played along. He knows where he stands though, as my best friend. I felt like I had to tell my boyfriend, so I did. He says that my best friend better know where he stands. But as the week went by, my best friend kept telling me he loves me and stuff. He says I make his days brighter and he was willing to wait for me.
But the whole point I got a boyfriend was because I thought my best friend didn't like me anymore so I thought it'd be best to move on. So I did. I never thought he never moved on. He said he tried forgetting about me and even tried cutting me out of his life, but he couldn't. He said not talking to me or not seeing me is like killing himself. When he told me this, idk, I felt really bad for him. I felt like I caused him all of this pain.
Of course I love my boyfriend but a small part of me still likes my best friend. Honestly, my best friend is perfect for me. But he lives in Texas and I'm still in love with my boyfriend. Idk what to do. I need help.
