Hello. I need some advice. After months of pitiful questioning him about when i can see him and getting you know im busy with my new job answer, he has finally admitted that he can't give me what i want but our friendship is more important to him than anything. How can i remain his best friend when i was his lover and best friend for 4 years. I know i shouldn't of ever placed myself in this situation and i knew it would never be my happy ending. He never said he'd leave his wife and i never asked him to... i loved him so much and im struggling without him. He was never mine anyway i know this and there was never any financial support or expensive gifts. It was pure love on my oart and im so hurt.

@Coco47,
Block him and get counseling. Talk to an impartial professional about your self-esteem, about how you were willing to settle and be treated this way. Get some tools to learn how to better assert yourself and not accept crap.

And allow yourself to mourn. It does hurt; it's a loss like any other. So mourn - for no more than maybe a week or two. I'm not saying you have to put yourself out there and try to date immediately, but purge yourself of old messages and anything else that's a reminder.

Rediscover yourself. Take your hobbies back up, and reconnect with your friends. There is a lot more to you than this.

What does he mean by "friends"? Geez, he's had a 'FWB' with you for 4 years and you settled for that.

This is his way if defining AGAIN what this relationship is and that he will never leave the wife, so be sure you know the boundaries.

He wants to remind you.

Get some counseling to get yourself prepared for the future. He has already wasted 4 years if your life!

Thankyou. You are both right. 4 years of my life wasted and i allowed this. I've been so silly. I've blocked and deleted him now and I'm going to pull myself together. I sound pathetic and needy but i never was. Thanks for your replies x
