Hey all, none of whom I know,
I would pose a question, with a little background. Someone who swore to me dozens of times that his love for me was innocent and has openly proclaimed his truest, dearest love for me. His love for me is so strong that it would drive us apart if it remained unrequited, a terrible truth that would rip us both to bits. So, I knew I would lose someone I love if I went down a path of more than platonic, but the pain if I didn't raise the bar it would be an immediate consequence.
He's the man who I thought was the father I'd never had, just that in spirit per say, like a late adoption of the terms and being part of a family. I guess I thought I had found a man without ulterior motives, but I was mistaken.
He's 54 and overweight, and I'm barely an adult and quite slim. And? Now I'm dating him, although it may as well be over already.
Is it worth doing anything to make the ones you love happy? Or, am I truly such an irrational fool?
I simply wish to find anything that might console me towards thinking something about this isn't very upsetting.
