I can confirm. Ive had male friends throughout the years i never hooked up/made out with with but enjoyed having their undivided attention. Sometimes it being more or less of a sexual thing. I dont know if id label it as a bad thing, but op should def prioritize his gf if he sees this potentially lasting
If you would rather protect your best friend (which i dont see as a bad thing either) accept that this relationship wont last a long time – or will at least go through very rough patches. Maybe look for someone who feels the same way as u do and doesnt mind.
I found a journal I kept for a class that one of my favorite teachers wrote answers back to me in.
It was like a warm hug from someone I loved very much who died a few years ago. If I wasn't a journaler, not sure I would have held on to it.
When I was in treatment for PTSD, my journals helped me forgive myself for choices I made while deeply damaged. It was really easy to understand why I couldn't see what I missed at the time. This was separate from making amends with people I harmed, but ya know? I was one of the people I harmed.
Thanks I really appreciate that ur here, I've been trying to keep my head straight but sometimes get into bad thought spirals.
I can't really move out my house tho, I'm on the hook for rent for the rest of the year and I live in a big city so everywhere is stupid monies. I barely managed to get therapy through uni so I know the resources out there are strained to say the least.
You should never ever get someone's name tattooed on you, even if you do really love them
The advice you seek is from a psychologist

It all depends on how serious you are about her

I was afraid it would come to that but I'm thinking this is the next step. Thank you!

I have never asked my exs (just had two before him) about the whole story behind their break-ups but if he wants to know it, I'll obviously tell him.
