I Don’t Want to End My Office Relationship

I don’t want to end my office relationship but I have been in a stable relationship for almost 5 years now. We are happy and rarely fight. My problem is I have become really close to a male friend at work ever since I went threw a medical dilemma. He has become my best friend and we tell each other everything. I have started to develop strong feelings for him to the point that I think about him all the time and want to spend all my time with him. A few months ago, he attempted to kiss me and I freaked out. The next time I saw him, I let it happen. It was exciting. So much sexual tension between us. I get butterflies when I see him or receive a text/call/email from him. I don’t want to leave my partner. I am just intrigued by having something different in my life and I don’t even feel guilty. I’m so confused by all of these feelings. My co-worker decided that nothing sexual can happen between us because I am in a relationship and he doesn’t want to be the cause of any problems. It makes me sad because I don’t want to lose him as a friend and I still can’t help but think about what it would be like to be with him. I just don’t know what to think anymore!

So take it for what it was, a brief romantic infatuation that ended, and move on. It’s normal for human beings to fall into romantic situations with other people even when they are with someone else. He is probably wise not to pursue it as it will likely lead to problems for everyone. You can still be friends if you choose. It just might be difficult to totally eliminate the romantic part.
