Let's say there's a person 'A' in exclusive romantic relationship with person 'B' for many years.

Meanwhile 'A' gets to know a person named 'C' (they are of opposite sex) and soon they become best friends.

'B' is not comfortable with the close friendship between 'A' and 'C' but tries to be understanding and hence asks 'A' that he/she wants to meet 'C' - to get to know him/her better. But 'A' deines and says it'll be awkward and that 'C' won't like it. Even 'C' denies meeting 'B' and says he/she doesn't feel comfortable with the idea.

'A' always seems to be spending more time with 'C' as compared to 'B'. This creates a downward spiral in relationship between 'A' and 'B' and lots of other issues. 'A' and 'B's relationship becomes toxic over time. 'A' brings up the fact that he/she's not comfortable with their friendship many times over a period of time but 'B' always reassures 'A' that it is only platonic and nothing more. Somehow they remain committed to each other.

Finally one day (after about a year) 'A' and 'C' fall in love with each other. Both 'A' and 'C' express their love for each other verbally (nothing physical) after realizing that they both are deeply in love with each other. 'B' is still unaware of this fact at this point.

A few days later 'A' decides to reveal this to 'B' - though nothing physical happened between A and C till this point. Finally, 'A' and 'C' get into exclusive romantic relationship with each other.

Is it normal for 'A' and 'C' to fall in love with each other? Is it cheating? Is anyone faulty here at all? What's your best judgement about this situation?

For a few months, I've been trying to get over my unrequited feelings for a friend. I cut communications and avoided things that would make me think about her. If I found myself fantasising about her, I would tell myself no and even lie to myself and say she's probably with someone else by now.

I've made considerable progress: I've accepted that what I had for her was an unhealthy obsession and the life with her I built up in my head could be with anyone else... I just haven't met that person yet. I've tried to better myself by taking up hobbies and going to the gym. I also find myself thinking about her less: Romantic feelings do still occur at times, but I know to distract myself.

Recently, she sent a message to a group chat involving me, her and another friend which I had forgotten to mute; it rarely got used. She texted about not hearing from either me or the other friend in awhile and was wondering if we wanted to play some online games this weekend?

I've thought about the idea of talking to her again: She does care for me... but as a friend. One of my regrets is cutting contact with her without a word, though it was something I needed to do in order to at the time. While i'd like us to be friends again, I understand we might not be able to be friends anymore and I dunno if i'm ready to talk again... Then again, how will i know if I'm ready to talk again?

I could lie and say i'm busy, but she seems to really miss spending time together and I would like to try and rekindle our friendship. I thought it would be easier to talk to her if I knew what was going on with her. So I broke the rules and looked her Facebook posts. Honestly... It wasn't that bad: I didn't really feel anything looking at her. But i'm worried if I talk to her again, it might undo all the progress I have made getting over her thus far.

I'm not sure what to do; i'm indecisive. Does anyone have any advice/suggestions?
