im in love with my best friend and i dont know if i want to be or not. iv been feeling like this for the past 12 months. iv changed so much for her and lost friends just so i can spend time with her. she has a boyfriend and a daughter but i feel anger. her boyfriend does not treat her right an i wish i could be that person who will. i wish i could tell her how i feel but i cant and it gets harder for me everyday. im her only friend and if i miss a day with her i feel like killing myself. I did actually tell her i had feelings for her and she felt the same way (just a crush) and then i think i was tryin to hard and she might of lost them for me but im madly in love and if i told her, im scared i would lose her. i really do not know what to do. i get very jelous when i see her talking to other boys but i tend to hide it. im pretending to be someone im not. iv actually thought about takin my life believe it or not because i dont want to face the harsh reality i must do. Please help me with advice, i would really appreciate it.

" Your life shouldn't be threatened because of your feelings for someone else. I have been in the situation your best friend is in with a guy being madly in love with me. It's not fair to put your best friend through the misery and loss of you if you were to take your own life because of her. Think of all the pain you'd be causing her. You're special enough to live for yourself. Don't let these feelings alter your thoughts of living and dying. You will soon find someone that you are very happy with whether it be her or not and these feelings will go away. If they don't, maybe you should seek help. A therapist or counsellor could help. But no matter how much pain you think you're in, killing yourself because of your best friend being happy with someone else would cause her soo much more pain. Not to mention the other people in your life that love you. Who knows maybe theres someone out there in love with you right now but you're so wrapped up in your best friend that you don't realize it. Don't give up on life over a lost love. "

" Don't ever kill yourself because of someone else. Not that I'm condoning suicide in general, but please, don't let anyone else make you feel like your life is not worth living.

As for the situation, you could tell her as a friend what you think about her boyfriend. Not that you think he's an asshole.. or better yet, ask her what she thinks about their relationship. Don't do it in a prying way but maybe if they get in a fight one night..? I think you should find out how much she likes you back too. I don't know, honestly I'm just throwing ideas out there. Because since she has a kid it makes things more complicated, I think.
For now, just be there for her as a friend. I know it's gonna hurt but that's the best you can do if she doesn't want to take the relationship further right now. let me know if you want to talk, k? "
