Right Person at the Wrong Time - Advice needed

I'm having a really difficult time and I could use some support.

I met someone unexpectedly and developed very strong feelings for him. The connection felt real, intense, and meaningful to both of us. The problem is that he's already in a long-distance relationship. Recently, we had a very painful goodbye. We both cried, and since then I've been struggling to accept the situation.

Part of me knows I should respect the boundary he asked for, but another part of me doesn't want to let go. I keep thinking about him, replaying our moments together, hoping things could somehow be different. We're still in touch as we kept on texting.

Right now I'm feeling heartbroken, confused, and overwhelmed. He lives just 15 mins from me, but it feels like he's in another country with this decision, and this feeling is killing me inside.

Do you think i should go see him and try to make it work? Should i just let go (which also too difficult)?

😔

I'm sorry you are struggling with this.

And it's hard that you had these feelings 

But he isn't available.

He's already in a relationship and it'll only hurt you further to try and progress something that he made clear, can't or won't happen 💛

         People are always changing when we are in the beginning of attraction and getting to know someone we are thinking of what could be..... what we hope for.... everything is good. we have not seen flaws yet. 

He is involved with someone else and asked for space but is still texting is it just friends or is he keeping a door open?  it is not fair to keep you hanging while keeping his other relationship he needs to choose. 

I never understood that saying "right person, wrong time "   

because even when we are with someone we change, they change, so the person you are or the person they are in a year can be different.   maybe they are no longer the right person... in a different time.   I feel that happens when long term relationships struggle it is hard to keep the intense feeling of connection when situations change. 

Maybe you are romanticizing what you would like it to be.
