Have you ever distanced yourself from someone you could potentially become more than just friends with for the sake of your relationship? (Page 2)

I made a post back in like July about missing my friend guy/crush from high school. He always wanted to be more than friends, but I was always torn about it. I was definitely romantically interested in him but I didn’t know if i could see it for sure so I didn’t want to risk the friendship. The closer we got to getting together, it was always bad timing as one of us would end up taken and have really controlling/territorial partners who wouldn’t even allow us to text. He moved away but i got in touch with him last year on linkedin. We were both single but I wasn't ready to mingle. He kept trying to come see me and I fcked around and kept postponing things. And then I ended up in this shit show of a relationship. At least once a month he still asks to come see me and I keep making excuses. As of December he’s aware of my relationship so he doesn’t push as hard but still misses his “friend”. He’s coming home this month but after that, he won’t be back until the summer or fall. I don't know if I should just let him come see me. I feel it would be disrespectful to my guy so I’m not really pushing for it. I also feel that if my “friend” hugs me, I’ll be reminded of certain feelings from back then that just makes me wanna say screw who I’m with. Thats such fcked up thinking but I don't know where my guy and I will end up by next month anyways. I’ll know more when I go visit him on campus in a few weeks. But yea I decided to keep it real with my friend and told him I don't know if I can see him while I’m still in a relationship because we’re both flirts and I’d rather not risk anything. Have you ever been in a similar situation where you had to push someone away to tame yourself? #FeelFreeToList
