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?
