Hey /adv/. I have a dear friend I've been infatuated with for years, but she's never really felt the same way. We still talk and hang out but it's very hard on me because I cant get over my feelings for her. We hang out, then I start thinking, then I hate myself for still having feelings for her, then I push her away, then I try to get over it and be a friend again and the cycle continues... Yesterday I decided I couldn't go on like this any more so I sent her a text articulating my years of emotional baggage as well as I could; after talking for a bit we came to the conclusion there was nothing that could really be done and we eventually decided cutting contact was the best option.This tears me apart because im losing a close friend, but at the same time it seems like the only healthy thing for me to do... Did I do the right thing? Is there something more I can do or say? Is there something I could've said or done differently? pic related is the wall of text I sent her (part 1/2)

You did fine. It's a good solution. Forget about her and make new friends you don't want to have a romantic relationship with

If you can't satisfy yourself with a platonic relationship then you should just move on. Can't keep being hung over on someone when you can't have the future you desire.

Thanks for the replies. I've been pretty torn over this so it's nice to hear some reassurance

As someone who's done pretty much exactly this (fucking 5/5 character limit--sorry this shit is too long so it has to be edited down because even a MMS cant contain your fucking mountainous wall of words--text):
You should not have done this over text lol.
But that shits done now.
It's off your chest.
Whatever she responds with, the best thing for you to do now might be to give yourself some space and some time, to move on and get over her.
Fuck man it took me about 2 1/2 years to start to think I was over my girl, and even then it wasn't until almost 4 years later when I met my girlfriend that I realize I actually finally was.

I felt texting was the best option because it meant I could spend all the time I needed drafting exactly what I wanted to say as clearly as possible. Thanks for the encouragement
