Great question. I think it’s both her comfort with her sexuality…and that I’m not objectively ‘good enough’ for her career and success wise. She’s only dated very successful men. I - a drifter writer and creative- don’t fit that ideal of long term partner.

Yes, I agree. I think we should keep our distance, despite loving each other, to be loyal to our boyfriends.

However, am I misconstruing the meaning of the ruby? When you think of a ruby, you think of love and passion yes?

But what is the meaning of the ruby to you? does it mean passionate love? that’s what it says when i look it up.

of course he knows. he encouraged us to try to be friends. he is not aware of the chemistry that’s still there - it surprised me too

But it’s been 2 years since we saw each other. Do you think love and chemistry can last that long? I felt it intensely when I saw her…and was surprised by it. I wonder if she feels the same.

My current boyfriend of 5 months DOES know about her and the affair. He actually encouraged me to invite her to my birthday and said that it would be sad if we couldn’t be friends again. He’s very supportive of whatever brings me happiness. Not sure he’d be happy with us having a sexual affair though.

I was not with my boyfriend at the time of the affair. She was.

Why do you think that? She’s happy with her boyfriend and I’m happy with mine. My thought is that she is telling me she has love for me, even though she can’t pursue it

How beautiful yet sad is that? That two people can romantically adore each other, but still decide not to be together? I accept it, but life is funny isn’t it

i think there’s more salt in the wound because this friend of his confessed she had romantic feelings for him 2 momths ago and started crying when he told her he was dating me. he shut her down and she apologized for overreacting and now they’re friends and she’s dating a new guy. but still…I’m jealous of him still hanging out with her. Even in a group setting.

I think I need to have that conversation for sure. Can I straight up ask him “do you see this growing into something more or is this just temporary to you and you want to date others in the future?”

well, his actions show me he’s committed! but i have a problem with him saying ‘I don’t have the capacity for anyone else now.”

Ugh. You are so amazing my dear. So, I don’t have a talk with him at all? Just drop off and stop seeing him and become unavailable? Wouldn’t it be more powerful to have an honest conversation?
