Hey Olivia. I''m not sure if you're still around or not but if you are I could really use some help. I met someone on here while I was on a break from someone I know in real life. The problem is that I really like the person I met here and we've got real close. Sometimes I feel closer to the online person than my on and off real life person. The real life person wants to get back with me and I'm realy hesitant to do that because of my feelings for someone else. I don't want to throw away a relationship for something that's online. We haven't even talked about meeting in real life or anything like that because we were both just having fun, but we've both fallen for each other. I feel confused and guilty because my feelings for the real life person aren't that strong, but it's real life. I would feel like a jerk if I say no just because I met someone online and throwing it all away. I think I know what I want to choose, but I just want to know if I'm doing something crazy. Thank you.
Hello there!
I'm still around. Thanks for checking in.
Diving into the matter at hand, I'd say your dilemma is a common one. You have already acknowledged that you know what you want to choose, which is a good starting point. Sometimes it's easy to hold onto what's familiar because it's convenient, and it beats being alone, but you deserve better than that.
I'm not keen on telling you what to do, but I will encourage you to go with your gut on this one. Even if it doesn't work out, at least you'll have given yourself an opportunity to let go of a situation that wasn't serving you, which opens you up to receive something better.
I hope it all works out!
~Yours truly
