How can I stop feeling this way so I don't destroy a friendship.

Question - (3 November 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 3 November 2007)
A male South Africa age 36-40, *resdenDoll writes:

I am a non stereotypical (that is non-queer culture scene) gay 21 year old guy and I am completely in love with my straight, albeit open minded, best friend. We kissed once, but he has a girlfriend and prefers women. We often speak about how I feel, and he is very supportive and accepting. I accept his life choice to be straight and love him regardless. I don't actually want things to be physical between us, but I constantly feel jealous when he gets women's attention, or spends time with people other than me. How can I stop feeling this way, because I know it will destroy the most beautiful friendship I have ever formed?

dapone 1 agony auntHello.

i think because your friend is straight and has a girlfriend and he admires woman,i am afraid he see you as a good friend, you will either have to accept that he wants a relationship with woman, or you will have to break your friendship, if you continue in this manner he may want to end your relationship as his friend, the only option for you is to find yourself a partner so that you can take your attention off your friend, if you continue as you are he may see you in a bad light, then he will not want your friendship.
