The Resilient Forum Relationship Issues

Dragonhawk0	Relationship Issues 9 Years Ago Hey everyone, I would like to start this thread as a place to discuss relationship issues of any kind, like dealing with crushes, dealing with problems in a relationship, and dealing with breakups. You could also write about things that were problems and ended up working out. If this isn't a good group to put this thread in, please let me know and I would be willing to take it down. I just feel this is a good group to post this in because a lot of negative emotions can be caused by bad relationships. I will be posting here to see if anyone can help me out. I feel that this thread will be easier to navigate and clean looking if we solve problems through private message then post a solution after the problem has been solved. This will help prevent a large amount of consolation messages and help people to solve problems rather than just feel better about a bad situation.
Dragonhawk0	Re: Relationship Issues 9 Years Ago I think I am in love with this girl. I feel like I haven't truly decided that yet even though I have been contemplating it for over three months. I feel like it could also be a feeling of lust and wanting something I can't have. The reason I feel the second way is because she has a boyfriend already and she told me that she loves him. I am am great friends with her but every time I seem them together I just get this empty feeling. I remember the first time they kissed in front of me and the feeling of my heart just dropping. I don't really know what to do. Do you have any tips on forgetting love without getting rid of the friendship? Or do I just wait and hope she leaves him and comes to me?
The Representative	Re: Relationship Issues 9 Years Ago You reminded me of myself.. from about nearly ten years ago. Her name was Helen White, a fellow student. ..She had the loveliest eyes (and a standout in the class, in terms of education). The last I spoke to her, she was training to be a solicitor, and probably now lives in London. She too had a boyfriend.. hence the likewise feeling emptiness, seeing them together. How to put this? That reality doesn't just no longer exist, it never existed! Or, at least, it existed as one of countless realities, all of which always exist. In the ensuing time, since "knowing" her, I've come to create 'The Representative' - humanity's gift.
