I am madly in love with my straight best friend. He seems to have feelings too but is really afraid/unsure how to feel about it. He has stuck by me through my meltdown when I told him how I feel. He did not bolt out the door or get weird. I have never felt such anstrong connection to anyone in my life. Never have I loved someone so unconditionally and completely as I love him. It has been so incredibly difficult to not rush up to him and just wrap my arms around him, kiss him, or massage his feet after a hard day at work. When he walks in, my heart skips a beat. He can instantly change my mood just being around. I just have had to tell myself that no matter how much I love him, no matter how much we have in common it won't ever happen. So then I struggle with how do I let go of the best thing in my life.

@Ceaselessmind It's not easy. And some folks just aren't flexible about their sexuality.

I think there are those out there who would be "heteroflexible" for the right person? But those are exceptions to the rule.

It's not always easy truly loving someone. (Hugs).

Or deep denial.
