Should I let go?

    Hi, So I have this friend..Who I have been friends with for a few years now. When we first became friends I was in a relationship and a few years later married. This friend, through the entire time we have know each other knows my relationship but, likes me..Well, confessed his love for me. But, although I had some mutual feelings for him I pushed them aside because the person I married I love more than anything. So, this friend stopped talking to me after I told him I didn’t feel the same way and I only wanted to pursue a friendship with him. But, a few months later we reconnected and it started all over, we seemed to be doing fine as friends then he says he still likes me.. this happened a few more times..The leaving and reconnecting and him liking me still. But, this time he says he want’s to try. I do not but, I care for this person more than anything and I want him to be happy. What do I do to let him be happy, I’ve left so many times and so has this person, but, I want for this friendship more than any other in the world because we connect and mesh so well.. Do I need to remove myself compleley from his life? I don’t know what to do, I’ve tried to ask him not to hang onto me and to find someone who will hang on back.. But, I feel like I am holding him back. Do I need to leave so he can find his happiness?

    I’m assuming you’re a woman and you’re married to a man — if I’m wrong, please set me straight. 😉

    Since you are married, it isn’t appropriate for you to befriend someone who’s made his romantic intentions towards you clear, knowing that you’re married. It’s putting your marriage in jeopardy. What you have with this “friend” is not a friendship. If he was a true friend, he’d want your marriage to succeed, but instead he’s wanting to create problems in your marriage. The best thing you can do is to move on so as not to give him false hope.

    I hope that helps!
