For almost a year I have supported a friend in Florida. I haven't sent her money or anything but just emotional support and such. She has a verbally and emotionally abusive boyfriend that I've been trying to convince her to leave. During all of this... I fell in love with her. And there is nothing I can do about it. She knows about it. I told her about two months ago. She was feeling down about her bf and... I told her I loved her, not only as a friend but romantically, that I had fallen for her. My own gf knows as well, but she is poly and we have an open relationship and I've never done much about it, but she was still supportive of me with this girl. But now... now the girl has someone new, who is closer to her home town than her bf and treats her well. She likes him too and seems to be heading into the direction of dumping her bf and getting with this new guy. I should be happy for her and in a way I am. I just... I love her... and this sucks. I should have just stayed in my lane and never let my feelings get the better of me.
