I am in love with my best friend, is it normal? girl/girl

First i am a girl and she is a girl, we've been best friends for many many years. We are both married to men. We were bf since H.S but we grew apart, she was always in my heart and i couldn't stop thinking about her.
I haven't seen her for many years until lately that we found each other again and all these feelings came back and i just want to be with her all the time. We text each other constantly, she tells me she loves me (of course i take it in a friendly way) but she is very flirtatious with our texts. I know she is not happy in her marriage, but she has a kid.
I love my husband, but things are also rocky between us.

I have never dared to tell anyone these feelings that i have for her and i am afraid to do so, i am happy just to talk to her or text her, she makes my day. She is so beautiful inside and out and all i do is think of her 24/7.

I do not want to lose her after i just encounter her again. But i have never felt this way before with anyone, only her.

    Just keep in mind the family part.. Her child.. Your husband.. Is it not working out with him? Unless you have just realized your a lesbian (as opposed to bi-sexual), don't give up on what you already have just yet. Listen to your heart, keep your head in the clouds, and your feet on the ground.. Everything else will fall into place.

    awe this sounds really sweet :) just be ONE HUNDRED PERCENT aware of your actions because they involve family ties, which always come first.. be honest with those you love in your life and as long as you do that than whatever your heart is telling you is always worth hearing. then decide where to follow :) you should always follow your heart..JUST DON'T CHEAT IN A MARRIAGE! lol, but seriously.. don't n ur all good ;)

  • It's me again, since i wrote this i have talked to her everyday, she called me Sunday night just to tell me how happy she was that we spent time together on Saturday and that she hasn't felt this happy for a while.

    She texted to tell me how special and loved i make her feel. So that gives me mix signals or maybe i just want to think that. She tells me that just talking or texting me makes her happy, makes her day.......i wonder sometimes what if she also likes/loves me in the same way that i love her.........what if?

    What if that is the way best friends behave and i just forgot, but many of my close friends hardly express the kind of affection when we talk, it is only with her. Maybe i just happened to come into her life in the right moment, maybe i see her for who she is.

    Anyone with a similar story?

    You should tell her, and get it over with you say she's not happy and she texts you flirty things.. So just tell her. Maybe she knows already an just waiting for you to be str8 forward with her. You and her can get something going if you did, you'll never till you do... Normal, by the way!

    Thank you for your words, it is almost a year since i have been back in touch with her.
    I have not told her how i feel, i am very afraid to do so, since i really do not want to push her away. I will always wait and wait to see if she will tell me how she feels.

    I still see her at least once a month we have our "date"; we text each other constantly and always she is very loving, calling me "my love"
    I rarely use that expression at all with anyone, not even with my husband, so in the beginning it kind of surprised me in a really really good way, but maybe she might talk that way? I want to believe that she doesn't and it is just to me, lol

    Anyways, this is the only place that i can really express how i feel about her without being afraid of causing any sort of pain in my own family.

    Be careful if you love someone and you don't know whether they love yout it is very easy to make yourself believe that they love you by misinterpretting signals.

    Thanks for all the advice. I read and re-read the texts that we have between us and i can tell she flirts with me.
    For instance, my phone one time just dialed her number and she texted me saying if i meant to call her? i said it was an accident and she said "its totally fine-i know you just miss me"
    then we were talking about someone and she said" oh yeah she is sweet X0X0, so r u"
    then she tells me that she gets happy when i text her because i always make her laugh and i am always so loving and always always telling me that she loves me. Maybe she wants to tell me how she feels, but she is afraid to do so, since we are both married.

    We went to the movies on Wednesday again, just her and I and it was nice and we talked afterwards and she gave me this very long hug.

    I love her, that is all i have to say.

    She definitely seems like she might feel the same way, and all I wish I could to tell you is to go for it! But even though your husbands might not be so opposed to the idea of two ladies getting together, if your feelings are more than just platonic and you might want to be partners with her, than you should always keep your family in mind first because the guilt always outweighs the pleasure in the end.. If she's falling for you but you both still want the marriages to work out, maybe the men in your lives wouldn't mind if you had a female lover? I know that's a stretch and doesn't usually work, but with this complicated and unique situation you have to consider all options before doing something that could tear not only her away from you, but both families as well.. Just looking out for you, this obviously is real, I think the best (and safest) first step is to talk to her.. tell her how you feel and that way before things even have a chance to get messy, you at least know that she's on the same page. Good luck! :)

    I know i have to be true to myself. It is just that she sends me mix signals or maybe i am just reading to much on it.
    We text daily just random stuff, but she is always so loving.
    We went to the movies and after the movies we just sat in her car and talked for hours well into the night.
    I felt like i was in a date, since she paid for the movies, but i paid for the popcorn, lol.
