I'm currently 29 years old, and one of my best/closest friends I have outside of my family is about to turn 48 years old. I know that might sound a little strange but I've known him for about 5 years now. He's always claiming that "I'm the only friend he has left."

I should also state that I've been married for 5 1/2 years...which is almost just as long as I've known my previously stated friend. Well at the same time I met him, I met his daughter who's currently 25 years old ( which is about 7-8 months younger than my wife ). Me and my friend's daughter instantly clicked and we talk together all the time. She is now a really good friend of mine, almost as good as her dad and I are friends. And apparently, she has a new boyfriend every other month and she always comes to me during a breakup. Its a little awkward though, because I'm already married but she talks to me about her personal problems and I feel like I'm talking to my wife.

Basically, I've talked about this with my 48 year old friend and he really doesn't mean anything by it. I don't have a problem being as close to his daughter as I am, and my wife knows that I don't mean anything by it either. Its just the way I am...when people come to me with a problem, I try to help them through it. And the bottom line is, I would've liked to be in a relationship with my friend's daughter ( and I know it would work ) but I'm already in a relationship like that with my wife, and that will probably never change.

Incest is Wincest.
...I'll leave you with that.

Can I just keep this short by saying "Literally everyone I've ever liked"? Yeeeaah...without exception every one (unless you count a harmless crush as a five year old lol) ended up either treating me like a creep — that is, them acting like creeps, not them treating me like I'm one. Those women treated me like garbage, not a creep — or I never stood a chance at seeing the relationship go anywhere.

Yeah, I have bad taste I guess.

Never. And by that I mean, I've never liked someone at all.

I don't see the point and I don't really care about that sort of thing so those feelings never really come to me. Meh.

Way back when I was in year 9, I had a huge crush on this girl in my Maths class. She was blonde with blue eyes and gosh darn I had never been more in love. It took me the rest of that year and the whole of year 10 to get over the rejection. 

BUT, currently, I am dating a beautiful woman (I'm an adult now) who I met around year 10. I had a crush on her in year 11, but she turned me down. Now, we're the closest ever and we're dating. I've been thinking of proposing, but I haven't even spoken properly to her dad yet, and I kinda need him to propose. I need to ask him what to do/say/have there. 

I shouldn't have liked either of them, but I did. I regret liking the girl in year 9, but I'm happy I love the one I'm with now. 

Yes I have, but I'd rather not go into detail about it since it's kind of personal.

Hm... Nope, I don't think I've ever started liking someone that I shouldn't. If I did, it was usually just a small crush, and I know the difference between feelings of friendship, a crush and actual feelings of love (they are worlds apart, and I've been doing my best to not mix them up). When I was younger, I set some pretty strict/distinct boundaries for how I was going to approach relationships in general, mainly because the people around me are often pretty particular about the people they want to associate with (so yes, their standards will factor into my relationships with others as well because I do think it's important for those I love to get along with each other), but on a more personal level, I also really didn't want to end up being the star of any "dramas" like the ones I saw on TV. ^^0;; All those heartbreaks and tears shed for someone that will never be yours... all those lonely nights of pining away for someone that couldn't care less about you or anything that mattered to you... It just didn't seem like something I ever wanted to experience in my life, so I made sure I never fell for anyone else's boyfriend (relative or otherwise), anyone that was already in love with, dating, engaged, or married to someone else, or anyone that did not seem to be truly serious about me or that I knew would most likely not have a chance to be with me. I also made sure I didn't allow anyone to pressure me into any sort of unwanted relationships because it seems to me that that's where a lot of problems begin (and then end in a very toxic manner). So far, everything has been going just fine for me and my relationships have been fairly straightforward and simple, so I do think that my methods have been working somehow. On occasion, I find myself acting differently around some people if I am sort of attracted to them, but I don't ever allow myself to get too close to what could potentially become a tragic ending to an otherwise deep/meaningful and happy friendship. That's not to say that I don't believe relationships with people that are already in other relationships wouldn't work out, but I personally would prefer to refrain from joining relationships like that at this point in time. I already feel bad enough when I accidentally cause people to break up from their current significant other that I don't feel any need to make life any more complicated by actually agreeing to join any relationships like that. I've never seen relationships with multiple people end happily with all parties satisfied but I have seen happily married monogamous couples that have been happy as long as I've been alive, so early on, I decided it might be okay to have monogamous relationships.

TheJmsGamer : I have no idea what a 'bullword' is and I even googled it and found nothing. I'd like a definition, please.

I developed a relationship with a coworker who was an attractive young woman while I was an attractive young man. We were both married and we had to spend a lot of time at work together. We're both energetic, outgoing, friendly, and we got along well. It turned to light flirting, to heavy flirting, and even though we never did anything to seriously jeopardize either of our marriages, my wife would have been angry to see us in action. There was some minimal physical contact, nothing serious, and lots of verbal affection. No kissing, no cheating, nothing overly offensive but we absolutely would have been madly in love if we weren't already married.

The relationship has evolved and changed and the two of us are still good friends. We provide emotional and moral support to each other in life's challenges and we still see each other every so often. It's morphed into more like a platonic old-friend relationship and is less charged physically. I have a strong bond with her.

Back in the day, though, yeah, I liked her way more than I should have. Even if we never did anything, it wasn't fair to my wife. It's my one big regret.

It's a little funny when I look at the title of the thread now and I thought I posted here, only to look and it turns out I didn't lol

In grade 8, I developed a pretty humorous friendship with this one guy. We always acted like we were enemies. I would do something to spite him, and he would shun me. He'd also steal my pencils every time he didn't had one. I always liked my relationship, and I even developed a crush on him.

But he already had a gf.

And to make things better, she hated me.

High school isn't any better. In all four years of high school, I have developed a major crush on four guys. Of the four of them, three of them are complete jerks, and the last one is really nice, and he's my good friend to this day, but he does drugs and doesn't want me to do them.

Then back in December, I found myself liking my good friend and wondered if I should try being in a relationship with him. Right now, that guy is my boyfriend, and I'm perfectly satisfied.

Bull. S***. It's that simple.

TheJmsGamer : I figured as much and I didn't take the most literal interpretation as that. But that is simple and easy. There you go.
