I Feel Like I've Lost my Mind
I have no idea how to talk about this because it makes me feel like a horrible person, but I have to get it out because it's going to drive me crazy if I don't. Recently my girlfriend of several years and I made a big move to a new place and things have been going great, I love it here and I've met lots of new friends I have tons more in common with.
The problem? I think I'm falling in love with one of them.
I know it sounds terrible and I feel awful because I do love my girlfriend and she's my best friend and I really don't want to hurt her. I've known this friend for nearly a year now and we've been hanging out more and more and every time we do my head is swimming, we always end up talking for hours and I feel like I could forget everything. I haven't acted on any of these feelings but they're there and I'm trying to push them away but they keep coming back and I dont know what to do.

I'm still dealing with this in a big way and I honestly think the situation has gotten worse, I dont feel like I did a good job of explaining the original post cause I made it in a time of high stress and emotion. I just need someone to talk to because the only people I trust the most are directly involved.
@ForestFaun2347 how have thIngs gotten worse?

So like, we've been hanging out a lot more and we have SO MUCH in common and we always get so excited to hang out I mean I'm sure she only sees me as a friend which is I guess kinda disappointing. But my crush just keeps growing the more I learn about her and I would never cheat on my girlfriend but I just feel... guilty. I'm just stuck between so many conflicting emotions, I'm telling myself you're probably just infatuated and just need to learn to value her as a friend, but my heart races like crazy around her, I love my girlfriend and I dont want anything to happen but this other girl just makes me feel so special.

Pushing feelings away, will guarantee you stronger feelings. It's a no no.
You need to decide what you want from your life. You are not sure yet, it seems. Think about it before making the step of getting with the other person. Does it worth the risk?
