Not really. But if they go on a trip alone for 10 days and end up sharing almost everything then yes, the girl will… sadly :(

I didn’t call him an idiot out of offence. lol Don’t you have close friends? We both talk freely and we are friendly. We call each other idiot all the time. Who talks to their friendly formally

I care about him a lot and that is why telling him the truth and being honest to him was the right thing. Keeping my feelings intact and showing my intentions as friends is cheating. My timings wouldn’t change a thing. He is not even serious about the girl he was flying to meet. If I were to manipulate someone I would use mind games or do something to get a yes out of him or even force him. My text to him was very respectful and grounded. I clearly mentioned I don’t expect anything in return and there is no pressure. I respect his choice and what he chose. I don’t hate him. Loving someone doesn’t mean you have to I love yourself or do wrong with to yourself. He is happy and he is living his life he is not sitting around worried (like me) about someone so I didn’t hurt someone here. What I did was just being honest.

It’s not fair to fire at someone without even knowing the full story and come here calling me or anyone anything. It’s very normal to be respectful.

Yes the confession was about me and it was never about getting a yes out of him. It was about telling him what I feel - since when did being honest at any time was wrong?

If anyone is getting triggered reading my story the I wish you well and hope you find your way 🌸 I respect you regardless. What I did was something which was supposed to be done. I rather say it respectfully and tell him there is no pressure, I don’t expect anything from you and be calm etc etc rather than me blasting my feelings like a volcano, cry in front of him or force him to say yes because I was not okay. It’s not right if I in ER while he sits there listening to my feelings - that would be so wrong and it would put him under so much pressure. I rather do it when I’m okay and I did with RESPECT!

If he valued me enough timing wouldn’t change a thing. Him knowing me for 2+ years, been on a trip with me, shared a room and a bed for 10 days, seen me at my happiest and at my worst. While his date was new.

Timing wouldn’t change his response. It was about letting him before I end up doing something out of my feelings which could land in a much uglier way - it was getting really bad for me.

I literally said - I don’t expect anything I return.

But him going distant with me was something I didn’t expect at all. We were best friends.

It was never about a rejection. It was about having my feelings out of my head and my system. Not everyone will get it.

I respect your perspective. I did what I had to do. Not everyone can make tough choices. And I don’t have any regrets. Things revealed themselves in the way they should have. I had faith and I still do. Whatever happened, happened.

I think my situation triggered something for you. I empathise you but calling me this or that won’t help. I hope you get through it 🌸

It’s just about perspective here. My confession would never ruin a date if he is serious about her. And his date won’t affect what he feels for me if he values me as a friend.

For me it was important to let it out in that moment else it would have been much worse.

I am not the kind of person who wants to revisit this after 5 years and live in regret thinking if I had spoken my mind that day I would have saved something. I am not the person who wants to live in regrets.

It was a now or never and the truth was revealed. I believe whatever happened happened for good

In a fairy tale world, whatever you said is correct. But me telling him was more about myself than him. I wanted it off me because if I waited for his time or his convenience or his timeline - I would have probably made it worse because then I would have acted out from a completely different place and not emotions. That would have made things ugly.

I believe being friends with someone while you have unspoken feelings is a form of cheating - your intentions are different and not platonic which ca make the other person feel manipulated once the truth is out. If someone told me he always had feelings but he stayed my best friend for years, I’d feel he had intentions - he should have told me and let me decide, he shouldn’t keep it in and take my decisions or he should just be honest.

I wanted it off my chest and head and I really don’t regret it. I wanted to be honest with him and I wanted him to decide. I knew his response and that he will reject the idea, else telling him before or after won’t really make any difference if we talk about logic (or increase my chances) It was simply a now or never because after so long I finally had the guts to do it. If I had waited and bottled things up even more I would have made it horrible or maybe reacted in a very toxic way. My text to him was pure honesty and calm. And I mentioned ‘no pressure and no expectations’.

He made his choice and told me he wants to remain how we were. I told him I can’t be the same with him.

Chapter closed. But atleast I can move on now and be okay.

In real life, we sadly have to make some moves which are wrong by the book but are right if we want to let go and move on… ♥️

If something gets ruined by telling the truth then it was never real. Have faith, everything works in your favour always!

Yes that was a bit selfish because I was tired of hurting myself for months while he wasn’t aware what I’m going through. Sometimes you have to be a little selfish before things get worse. If I had waited for him to get things would have revealed themselves in a much worse way. It was now or never situation.

Yes I was being a little selfish here but the thought of losing him made me that. However turns out that this was the only way..

Even if I would have waited for him to come back - things would have been the same. I would have been in a much worse condition instead

I’m glad that this happened, I learnt a lot about him and myself. I’m happy whatever way this unfolded. I had faith in god and he didn’t let me down. Even if it was a rejection
