Background;
So I met this guy a few months ago and we became friends very, very quickly. We shared so much in common, and had such similar sense of humor that we joked we shared the same braincell. On our first call together we ended up looking at p*rn together. Not in a sexual way (it was Minecraft p*rn LMAO) just in a, “haha this is so weird” kinda way. So needless to say we got close and comfortable very fast.
He tells me about stuff he won’t tell his girlfriend or other friends, talks about his want for his girlfriend to grow, lets me listen, stays in calls with me for hours. It eventually just got to me and made me feel special, so I ended up developing feelings. I felt genuinely awful about it. I truly believe he loves his girlfriend, they’ve been together since they were 16 and 18 (they’re 20 and 22 now). She’s so sweet and I respect their relationship completely.
This resulted in me trying to distance myself from him, so I could try to work through these feelings and move forward.
The issue is he makes me feel really bad every time I don’t respond to him. Not on purpose, but he just keeps checking on me and asking if I’m alright. I feel so guilty, and like there’s no correct answer.
Am I wrong for doing this? I don’t want to hurt him, but I also don’t want to hurt myself.
