I think I got married too early
Relationship Stress / by braveTortoise2872

...See more I was so so SO in love with my husband. He is my best friend and the only person who has been so good to me in my life and all because I got a crush on my friend he showed a side of himself I don't recognize. I told him I wanted to be with him no matter how I felt about my friend. I just wanted to be honest with him because I haven't had friends that weren't terrible in so long. I have no intention of doing anything with my feelings and genuinely only want to be friends with them but when I opened up and told him he went from this stable, sure force in my life that would never judge me to the most insecure, immature person who said the worst things to me practically over night. It took months of me having shame and guiltfueled breakdowns for him to realize I wasn't going to leave him for someone I barely know but by the time he realized I was already broken and looked at him like a different person and I just haven't loved him since. We've been in counciling since we moved out of state but my feelings I once had never came back no matter how much he hasn't been like he was when he found out. I don't want to talk to him or hang out with him and god I cant stand when he touches me. Im broken. My heart is broken. I hate how kind and wonderful my friend/crush has been. I both love and resent them for being in my life. I feel like they ruined it. That my husband and I would be fine if they had never showed up in it. And they have no idea. They think we're just friends and nothing terrible has happened because i decided to be honest about my feelings about them to my husband. Obviously they don't deserve that and its not actually their fault. And I still love them so much and it gets worse everyday but even if I dropped them as a friend it wouldn't change how I fell out of love with my husband.
