Iāve been in love with my best friend for the last 2 years. We have a different kind of friendship. He calls me every day multiple times, weāre always around each other, weāve cried together, weāve fought each other and forgiven one another. I have a key to his house, my own toothbrush in his restroom, we sleep in the same bed when I spend the night, his mom considers me her other son. He even moved closer to me a year ago to be near me. People have asked us if weāre dating and weāve always said no. He considers me his brother, I would do anything for him and he would do anything for me. I am a gay man and he is straight (or so I thought so). He knows everything about me, including the fact that I like men. About a week ago we got extremely drunk and he confessed to me that he has been with men in the past. I was shocked, heās always claimed to be this straight, macho, woman loving, guys guy. He cried and told me I was the only one that knew. I asked him if he liked being with guys. He said āI donāt know, I might be like you, or bisexualā. Iāve always had thoughts about him being into guys but I always believed I was overthinking. Iāve seen him check out other men, and Iāve seen him flirt with other gay men. Iām sort of relieved because I now know it wasnāt all in my head. I get extremely jealous when people flirt with him. He is VERY attractive, men and women flirt with him constantly. He loves it but he knows it bothers me. Ever since he revealed his secret heās been distant, I can tell he doesnāt want to talk about it but itās eating him alive. Iām not going to pressure him into saying anything until heās ready but Iām going insane. I donāt know if I finally have a shot or if he just sees me as a close friend. Heās strange, weāre so close but he always pushes me away when I want to hug or hold him so part of me is thinking maybe he doesnāt like me. I want to get him to talk about it and Iām honestly on the verge of confessing my feelings for him. I believe he definitely loves me but I donāt know in what way. We behave like a couple but he also becomes distant all of a sudden pushes me away. Iām losing my mind, any advice on what I should do?
