Last night I watched a 136-minute romantic drama squished between two girls on a couch… one of whom was Marie. During the sad parts, she’d pat my head or my shoulder to comfort me, and once she offered me her shoulder, so I laid my head there and cuddled for a while. It was wonderful. I have been in a horrible mood ever since.
Why can’t I get over her??? I have a boyfriend I love, who loves me. Why isn’t that enough? I feel confused, angry, sad, and guilty. And I just don’t get it.

You don't have to beat
You don't have to beat yourself up about this, hon. The interaction you're describing is perfectly innocent. Besides, being in a loving relationship doesn't preclude you from feeling love for anyone else at the time. It doesn't even necessarily mean you can't have some degree of romantic feelings for anyone else. It's only if you act on your feelings, or find yourself constantly longing to be with someone other than the person to whom you are currently committed that there'[s really anything to feel guilty about, in my opinion at least. Human beings are loving creatures, at least, we should be. Just accept that this woman is always going to hold a unique and special place in your heart. Your bf doesn't have to know it. It's a place that belongs only to you. Use it as a source of joy...not sadness and guilt.
Hugs,
Pat

Thank you, Pat. I really appreciate your comments.
I'm going to try not to beat myself up about it... it's just so easy, though. I think some serious mulling over is in order, and maybe if I can understand things better they won't bother me so much.
I totally agree with you in theory... love is never bad, right? I just dunno why I make it that way...
