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
