Questions: Relationships

I wouldn’t mind living in the same apartment complex or house neighborhood, and just spending the night at eachothers place on occasion. I understand that its technically causing us to spend more money than necessary, but I really like my space and have no interest in shacking up. If we’re at least engaged, then I’m okay living together. But even if living together, I’d have joy in knowing that we have the option of separate bedrooms for when we want to sleep alone or have that extra space between us. It doesn’t mean I love the person any less. It doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy seeing them on occasion. I just don’t need them in my face every morning/night. Hearing my ex suggest rekindling and me moving up north with him just makes me cringe. Even back then I told him I’d rather just live near one another rather than together. And hearing my current think that I’d HAVE to live with him if I got knocked up is sweet, but not necessary. I’ll probably have mood swings while pregnant and he's probably better off at a distance. #FeelFreeToList

I think my best guy friend is secretly in love with me. When I started dating my boyfriend, he tried everything to break him and I up. He tried to say that my boyfriend is a liar and that I’m blinded by love. He then tried to get my boyfriend to prove to him that my boyfriend loves me. Then he said long distance relationships don’t work out because people can act different in person (which I guess is understandable, but none of his business). He then asked me out on April Fools Day and I of course said no and he got butt hurt. And just now he tried to prove to my boyfriend that he knows more about me than my boyfriend. And he’s tried to protect me from getting hurt. Aren’t those the actions of someone who’s in love with me? Please tell me cause I need answers.
