Have you ever been in love with somebody that you can't be with? There is somebody who I have great feeling for and think about a lot but can't be with him. The man I am with now is the father of my two children and we have been together for 9 years now.On and off again but we have stuck it out.Sometimes I just feel like I can't leave because we already have so much invested in the relationship and for the sake of our boys.Our children are 8yrs and 7 months.It would really screw things up to break up now.We are supposed to get married next year and the closer the due date the more images I have of bailing. That sounds terrible I know.Maybe i'm just scared to get married not quit sure. I do know this though if this other man that I have loved for 8 years now ever said to me be with me I don't think I would hesitate to go. He's been my friend for a very long time and a pretty good one at that. Oh I suppose i'll be married by next year and will just keep trying to put the other man out of mind but is very hard when he is not out of sight.

When you said you can't be with him, is it because you are now with someone whom you have children with or maybe he belongs to someone else? I know it's kind of too late to ask this question but if you give it time to consider whys and hows you can't be with him, maybe it can ease some of the pressures. You are on and off again with the father of your children, maybe the main reason is that he knows you still have feelings with the other guy hence he vent over little things. If getting married next year is his idea, then I guess he is now sure you both can commit to each other. I hope the best for you two.

The man i'm with now doesn't know I have feeling for this other guy.No he's not taken. It's complicated.The man i'm with now we all used to be friends.It's a weird situation but nobody knows how we feel about each other.We figured we would just keep it that way to not hurt any one else.

You can't help who you fall in love with, always remember that.
