This...is so like my own situation it's eerie. I met my best friend in middle school too, and we lived together in college, when I realized how in love with her I was. And that's also around the time I started getting into fic, and my main OTP at the time was all about the friends-falling-in-love thing. So it sucks, OP, and I totally get that. What also sucks is when you stay friends with that person, which basically ensures that you can't get over it - because the things that made you fall in love with them are still true, and you just can't get any distance from it. That's the boat I'm in, anyway. I don't know if commiseration is helpful to you at all, but that's been my experience so - here's hoping for both of us!

Idk. In a way it's hard when you see your own situation mirrored in fic, but at the same time, it sort of...affirms what you feel? So it's hard to just stop. Anyway this is getting way too tl;dr, but I wanted you to know you're not alone OP :)

Commiseration definitely helps, but I'm sorry you're going through it too. Honestly, this sucks.

And you put it perfectly; everything that made me fall in love is still there and I see it every day. I can't picture myself without her. It's especially hard because, since we're so close and go everywhere together and have that "old married couple" relationship, most people assume we're together. And when she just laughs it off, my stomach folds inside out, and I want to crawl into a hole because it feels like everyone knows what I feel and they're giving me that look because they know it'll never work out and they feel sorry.

Nothing a shot of whiskey won't fix, right? Here's one for you. ;)
