Stupidity Sucks
So I did a stupid thing I have no control over. I have feelings for a man who will never love me as more than a person or friend. It started about 5 yrs ago and he knows me so well he figured it out before me. I try to hide it. His friendship means more to me than anything. Funny thing is I know I could make him extremely happy and we would be great together. Maybe that's what he is afraid of. I finally got the opportunity to really hang out with him & it was great. I know we are only friends. I can completely be myself and not have to worry about it. I don't have to worry about impressing him which is so great! It was wonderful just to hang out w/no expectations and to feel no judgement whatsoever. I blew it though. I think our hanging out days are over.
I know I'm going to get hurt when he does start seeing someone. He just got out of a horrible marriage a few months ago. I just didn't want him to know how bad it would hurt because of how strong my feelings for him really are. I played them down a lot. Well after the car accident I was hurting physically really bad so I took a stronger pain pill than usual, plus I was emotionally drained, I was nauseated, etc. I thought I was sleeping and dreaming, but I was half awake & half awake or some combo in a drug induced state and I text him. I didn't realize it until I was fully awake. Read what I wrote. I basically bore my heart & soul to him. So now stupidly he knows how I feel. I felt so embarassed! I apologized, but I couldn't deny any of what I said.
I feel less embarassed cuz we had "the talk". He is such a great guy and seems to take it in stride, but I still feel like I messed up one of the best friendships I ever had. I hate that I've strong feelings for an amazing man who will never see.
But than maybe it's me who can't see the truth. Heck my own ex-fiance may have been right when he said no real man will ever love me. Makes a person wonder if there isn't something hugely wrong w/them especially being single a month before their 35 birthday. The only person who only seemed to try to want to be w/me was controlling, abusive, cheating, etc.
Stupidity sucks!
