@jullia - It's complicated. I have known him since high school and I had a huge crush on him. Many years later, I started dating his brother and got engaged to him. But I was still in love with the other guy. Both of our mothers said I was with the wrong guy, and should have been with the guy I am in love with. I ended things with my fiance and haven't spoken to them since. But every once in a while I have dreams about this guy and my feelings come back. I am still in love with him, and wish I would have dated him instead. But in reality, I probably would have done the same to him; get sick of him. So it makes sense what you said: wanting something you can't have. But the love I have for him, and how comfortable our friendship was.. I have never felt that way about anyone else in my entire life. I almost feel like he was "the one" and I completely blew it. I know I will never find anyone like him again.
@Echinacea - It sucks! My best friend of 18 years died 4 years ago. I am completely lost without him. Just like the guy I mentioned above, I will never find anyone anywhere near as special to me as that friend. I just feel like my life is in a complete shambles. I lost everything. And I don't know if I can go on living anymore. I try to move on, but these feelings just keep coming back and it really depresses me.
Nothing is getting better, it just keeps getting worse. I don't see myself going anywhere in life. The only thing that could possibly happen is moving to Wisconsin with my mom and living with her until the day I die, because she will outlive me.
