I applaud you for sharing your true feelings with Elaine. From every indication, she's a wonderful friend to have. Regarding the question of whether you can have a platonic relationship with the opposite sex, my opinion is that when it has run its course, you should end it.
Oh this brought tears to my eyes! What a touching and emotionally intimate story 😿💙 this is very common. And I would know, as I’ve had this exact experience. Except, it was my close friend revealing her feelings for me. The sad part is she didn’t go about admitting her feelings for me in the same gentle way. It was harsh…angry and she accused me of lying about my sexuality. Even sent me a harmful email a year later after I ended the friendship. Love is very complicated and we can’t help who we fall for. Friendship in particular is special because it gives way for a different kind of safety and vulnerability. I’m still healing from losing one of the closest friends I had, and the verbal/emotional abuse I received for not reciprocating what she put out. Anyways, thank you for sharing this! 🥹🩷🌼✨
Wow thank you for sharing! Love is indeed complicated, and no one prepares you for the hurt you'll feel when you lose a close friend. I've been through it too, healing will come sis ❤️
