After graduating from college, he moved away, and he and B only briefly kept in contact. B did attend his wedding, but that was the very last time that he saw her.
When his wife passed away, B reached out to him, and they wound up chatting on the phone for the first time in forever.
But then, when B and her fiancé moved to where he lives, he was so happy to have them both as a support system.
B has helped him enroll his daughter in dance classes and gymnastics, and B even takes her to her classes on occasion. Sometimes, B babysits his daughter as well. He and B’s fiancé have also grown quite close lately, and he thinks B’s fiancé is a wonderful man.
A week ago, B dropped by his house and asked him if it would be possible for them to talk, and her tone was pretty grave.
“She told me that over the last few months, she feels like she has started to develop feelings for me and is not sure anymore if she wants to go ahead with the wedding,” he explained.
“She felt I also had started developing feelings for her. I told her that I am not ready for any relationship before I can deal with my mental health (for which I go to a therapist regularly). She tried to convince me that she loved me, we are soulmates, and she felt that we were meant to be together.”
“However, I do not have the same feelings for her. I love her as a friend, but nothing beyond that. We were both emotional, but she said she was glad we talked about this. She left after that.”
Later on that evening, after she confessed to being in love with him, B phoned him to request that he not tell a single soul about their little chat.
He thought long and hard about it and deduced that spilling the beans to B’s fiancé about her confession was not the right thing to do.
He doesn’t believe he should have the power to destroy B’s wedding by involving her fiancé; it’s on B to decide if this is right.
