This is really bothersome.
Three days ago, I slept with this guy I've been friends with. Most people who know me "Typical her, she's very comfortable with her sexuality and sees sex as another way to EXPRESS a feeling to some one"
Notice, I use the word express. I never use sex as a substitute for real emotion. I learned a long time ago that just because you hop in bed with some one, it doesn't mean they care about you. However, in my eyes, you don't have to have a romantic relationship either. Sex can express not only love, but also caring and trust, which is why I am comfortable having sex with friends and they always get the message.
Unfortunately, I found out a little too late that this friend has very intense, romantic feelings towards me. I would say so intense that he might actually love me in a romantic way. But he and I both know that a relationship would not work between us at this point because I don't reciprocate those feelings.
But wait, it gets worse...

I have a boyfriend, who I am completely in love with. I know, "shame shame on you!" But this is how messed up it all is. He's just as in love with me as I am with him, but when we met, he was engaged. And he feels the same way about both of us! So, we've been together for a while, but he's still with her. He says, "If she leaves me, then of course I will be hurt, but at the same time, I'll be happy because that means I can be with you, free of all obstacles." And I will not ask him to leave her, because I've been caught between two men before and I know how painful and confusing that can be.
So, the wonderful climax. Now that my friend and I have been together (and have no intent to end the intimacy, I'm afraid to say) I'm beginning to find myself falling for him. And dun-dun-dun! The plot still thickens!
I've known my friend longer than my bf and have always loved and cared for him. But now, it's a new type of emotion. Now, I find myself loving them both in the same manner.

My friend will also be leaving next month (he's a bit of a nomad and it pains me to say that he feels he has over-stayed his welcome here) but he swears, he will call me and write me every chance he gets. And I trust him in saying that. After all, he still treats me the same as he did before we got intimate, we just touch each other in a few more ways now. And he really seems to care (I say this because he didn't tell me I was beautiful or any of that other lovey-dovey stuff until after he bedded me)
And my bf is a long distance relationship too.
Oh, and just to let it be known- I feel like sh*t because I broke two of my highest morals in all of this.
- Don't get involved with a man you know is taken
- Don't cheat
Yes, I have morals. And I feel horrible for breaking them. But the don't cheat bit... For some reason, it feels right to be with my friend...
