“Margot I need your help!! I’m in love with my best friend and he doesn’t know. He recently got back with his ex but I’m so delusional that I thought maybe I should have shooted my shot… do you think I should tell him how I feel?! Maybe he’ll feed into my delusions and we will live happily ever after.”
Dear submitter, this is a tough situation to be in. While solving this issue might seem simply that you confess to your friend and all will turn out how you hope it will, that is most likely not the case. Firstly, your friend is in a relationship and as his best friend, you should support him and not try to complicate things. It will also benefit you to consider all the different outcomes of confessing your feelings to your friend. Yes, it could turn out very well but it also has the potential to cause tension in your friendship. So, what I can offer to you is to think very long and hard about how confessing will affect you and him as well as respecting him and his relationship. Hope all goes well!
