hello everyone

So I have been in a relationship for about a year and two months now with a wonderful guy and we are still doing fine. The thing is i've got a friend , we have been friends for nearly two years and he's always liked me. I made it clear that I wasn't interested in that way but we remained friends. Recently he said that we cant be friends anymore because he cant stand the fact that i cant ' be his'. So i said fair enough its up to you however if you want to be friends again I'm always here. I can't help but feel really guilty! I only see him as a friend but i just feel so bad . I guess it is better for him that we dont talk, any advice on how to feel less guilty? :/

thank you to all who reply x

all i could say is leave that guy alone and try to avoid him because it does hurt for that guy to see you with another guy especially when you doing some sweet things with another guy.

I have been in that position before and it was a mental torturing especially 'we have been friends for nearly two years and he's always liked me'. He would be betrayed.

i wish i could offer something that would just stop you feeling guilty, but the truth is you won't. you're losing a friend and you feel bad about it. you need to remember that none of this is your fault. you haven't been leading him on, you told him you weren't interested and i'm sure you can be friends again in the future when he moves onto someone else. until then, try not to think about it. i know it's a shame but until you stop feeling bad, every time you think of it you need to remember that you made it clear nothing would happen, and you're being a good person for giving him space when he needs it.
