I am in love with his friend now

Dear Counselor Beezy,

Two years ago, I was in a relationship with a guy, and I became close to his circle of friends. Among them, there was one person who stood out - a friend who was consistently there for me, especially during times of turmoil within my relationship. He would provide solace and wise counsel, acting as my confidant and emotional anchor during difficult times.

However, our relationship with my boyfriend began to unravel due to his infidelity and the subsequent emotional turmoil it created. Whenever I voiced my concerns, my boyfriend's reactions were far from supportive. It was this exceptional friend, who had been my pillar of strength, who would step in to defend and console me.

As the turmoil reached its breaking point, I found myself separated from my boyfriend. At that moment of vulnerability, it was this remarkable friend who remained by my side, supporting me as I mended my broken heart. Over a year, his constant presence in my life helped me rebuild my sense of self and my capacity to love.

Gradually, my feelings for him grew, and I began to appreciate his kindness and unwavering care. Our bond deepened, and eventually, we shared a passionate moment that laid bare the emotions that had long simmered beneath the surface. It was then he confessed that he had harbored feelings for me long before I was with his friend. His shyness and a twist of fate had kept his emotions hidden.

Counselor, my feelings for him are undeniable, and his confession only solidified what I'd suspected. Yet, a cloud of apprehension now hangs over our connection. I'm afraid of the judgment and the potential consequences that may arise from pursuing a relationship with my previous boyfriend's close friend. My heart is torn between my affection for this caring man and my concern about causing a rift between old friends.

I humbly seek your guidance in this matter. Please, enlighten me on how to approach the situation, as my heart yearns for love while my mind grapples with the complexities surrounding it.

Thank you for your time and valuable insights.

Sincerely

Forgiving your partner

  How to forgive your partner for their infidelity Introduction If you're in a relationship with someone who has cheated on you, there are many ways to forgive them. You can do it privately or publicly, but the most important thing is that you talk about it. It's also important to remember that forgiveness takes time and effort on both sides of the equation. This doesn't happen overnight! However, once both partners have made amends for their actions (and recognized them as such), then forgiveness becomes easier because there aren't any lingering resentments or underlying bad feelings between them anymore. Only love between two people who took action towards healing themselves after a betrayal occurred.  Stop justifying their behaviour. To forgive your partner, you must stop justifying their behaviour. This means that you need to stop making excuses for them and blaming yourself or your relationship for their actions. Here are some examples of what not to do: Don't ...

Alchemy of Life: Transforming Negativity into Positive Energy

"He who has the power to turn all negative vibes in his path into positive energy has learned the meaning of life." The statement's wisdom highlights the significant shift when someone can change negative energy into a good force. Let's investigate this viewpoint and see how it fits in with the theories of scholars who have studied the nuances of personal empowerment and the meaning of life. Turning Negativity into Positivity "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." - Viktor Frankl. Transforming negativity is in line with the existential philosophy of Viktor Frankl. His focus on overcoming obstacles and deriving purpose from misfortune aligns with the notion that, in the face of negativity, one may modify one's inner reaction and transform one's life's course. The Art of Transformation "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." - Lao Tzu. The transformational force that co...

After having three children with me out of wedlock, He is getting married to another woman.

Dear Counselor Beezy, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, seeking your guidance and support to help me navigate a deeply painful and confusing chapter in my life. My story begins with a romantic relationship that I entered into with a businessman. We met through his friend, who happened to be engaged to my madam, a seamstress I was apprenticing with at the time. We all came from the same district in the Upper West Region of Ghana, which initially created a sense of familiarity and connection. Our relationship developed swiftly, and within two months, I found myself pregnant. He agreed to take responsibility for our child, and I moved in with him despite his uncompleted three-bedroom apartment. We managed together until I went into labour. We had discussed the idea of formally approaching my family for marriage, and he had agreed that we would have our traditional wedding during our child's naming ceremony. However, when the time came, th...
