I have strong feelings for my best friend's partner, and I'm worried he might feel the same way about me!

Question - (28 February 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 1 March 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I have strong feelings for my best friend's partner. They have been together for 22 years and I have felt this way for all this time but it has never been a problem, until recently.

Over the years I have lived away from home and been in relationships of my own but in the past year I have moved back to our home town after a long-term relationship ended for me. I now see my best friend and her partner regularly and I'm beginning to think that he may have the same feelings for me! My friend has told me that she knows he finds me attractive and sometimes when we are out together he will hug me lots and touch me softly, when she is not around. He says things like his life is much better since I moved back and how happy he is that I'm around.

I would never cross the line, I love and respect my best friend far too much. I'm just wondering if I have cause for concern or if I'm reading too much into this?

A female reader, Miamine United Kingdom +, writes (1 March 2010):

Miamine agony auntBest to get yourself into another relationship, or try to cut down the time you spend with them both. It dosen't matter how he feels, but you have feelings, this alone is dangerous and could be destructive to your friendship. It's not fair on your friend, put some distance between you both, it's better to be safe than to be sorry later and have regrets.
