Should i tell her?

I am a lesbian who has been living happily with my partner for the past seven years. I love my partner with all my heart and there is someone else I love dearly too, though I know that we could never be together. It is my best friend, who is a woman who lives in another state. We were once roommates, that was 24 years ago. I fell in love with her then and have never stopped loving her though all the changes in our lives. She has been with the same boyfriend for the past 24 years and I've had other relationships.

My feelings for her is genuine and deep. I sense her in the early morning hours - it is telepathic sometimes. She lives in another state 2000 miles away. I know that we could never be together. Sometimes, I feel like I should just tell her how I feel but I don't want to risk our friendship. I've loved my best friend for 24 years and through it all, I've become close, trusting friends.

What should I do? Tell her?

    Think like this: imagine yourself twenty years down the line and you're thinking about the good old days, will it be

    1) You never told her and you regret not telling her

    2) You told her and that ruined your friendship but you never regretted it?

    Imagine yourself in the future. Which situation will you regret. Remember this, don't live your life in regrets, do whatever it takes.

  • I don't think that's fair to your partner. You have been with her for 7 years and you have always had a doubt of being with her because of this other woman. I would not be too happy if I were her and found out

    Your a lesbian and need to be put to death. God meant for women to marry men. Go and die. I know it's harsh but that's life. You obey the Lord.

    I would say tell her..

    I've been inlove with a guy from the us for years now he know how I feel and same back but it would never happen he h8 the cold (health probs) and I could leave my famliy/friends it would kill me.. It's hard when we both have other people in are lives but I would NEVER take back letting him know!! It only made us closer and he always going to be there because there's no worries about fights over dumb shit.

    to sum that up I think you should!! And you never know 1day it might happen but you gota put it out there 1st

    I say yes. Even though she might not feel the same way , it will be better to get that feeling off of your chest. You then know "I can live perfectly happy with her" , or "I need to move on."

  • I am assuming you are talking of love that goes beyond friendship. Why would you share your feelings of non-platonic love? She isn't lesbian. She has been with a man 24 years. You have a partner. You are great friends.

    I say no. It gains nothing & risks hurting many others, but especially you.

    I risked my luck with a beautiful girl and she ran away from me... but to my amazing, a few years later she come back and still taste me like a friend. I lose my interest in her, and now happily I don't regret it. She don't know that... yet, and that's for the best.

    So... to be, or not to be, it's your call. She may will acknowledge that and still see you as a friend.

    No, you shouldn't. If you are indeed happy in your relationship, and she is indeed happy in hers, what is the best possible outcome of your telling her that you love her? Misery all around and a gamble at happiness that you already have. Doesn't seem worth it.

    Oh my goodness. That whole situation would make the perfect touching movie !
    Ima get right on that ! Hmm.
    Well, anyways, I dont think you should risk your friendship, and plus, it would probably ruin you and your partners relationship too. So, if I were you, I would be on the safe side, and not tell her.
    But on the other hand, you might regret not telling her..
    Tough dicision.
