Loving My Best Friend

I dated my best friend for a month. We broke up due to where we were at in life. I'm still in college and he's going to be 30 this sunday. I love him. I can actually see myself with him for the rest of my life. I love everything about him. We both only want to be friends, but at the same time want to be together. We want to build our friendship and save our emotions until we are both settled in life. I have two years left of college. I will be in London for a semester this fall. My question is how do I control these feelings? How do I convince myself that I have to wait two years to be with the one I love? We both know that we love eachother. This is new to me because I never experienced this type of love.

 

I wish there were things like this when I was your age.Love hurts so deep.I was at the same point at your age and now I see clearly there was no need for a solution this instant.If it is right and good it will stand all tests.If I knew that I would have made fewer bad decisions.I chose the wrong path and gave up on what I was doing to be with the one I loved only to be betrayed in the end.Time would have bore it all out if I just continued to do what I was and allow that love to be what ever it was.Love is so powerful it can withstand anything if it is real.

 

"Controlling" is an overwhelming word. You may feel this about him, but does he feel the same way about you?

Two years is A LOT of self-discovery and I'm a little wary when you've said you've never experienced this type of love before. Nothing similar? It sounds like a much wiser decision to establish yourself before you board the marriage/rest-of-my-life-with-you ship.

Treat the two years as a trial period. Trust me, you'll be glad you did. If anything, it might not even be enough time.
