Hi Jellybean,
Thanks for responding to Bri3248's question. At the very least it may help to know that you are not alone in dealing with this. Now for your comment, one thing you said, " I am sacrificing a big part of who I am to be with him and I am very distracted by my frustration with this issue." Don't do that, don't sacrifice who you are to be with someone. That right there tells me that there is something fundamentally wrong with this relationship that you don't feel like you are able to be who you want to be with this guy. Like I said to Bri3248, figure out what you want out of this relationship. If that isn't possible, best friend or no best friend, the guy may not be for you. Find the strength, and get out of your own way. You are a smart person, and will be OK. The world will not end if it doesn't work out for you and this guy. You should feel empowered to know what you want, and don't be scared to try and get that. I can tell you from experience, it's hard to walk away from something you're used to, but it's worth it to get you to where you want and need to be. It's all a process, so don't expect things to change overnight either way. Good luck, be strong, conduct yourself with grace, and protect yourself from wasting too much time with the wrong guy.
Please let us know how you're doing.
