Do you think under different circumstances things would have been different? NO BULLIES.?

I have a wonderful, amazing man that I have been best friends with for the last 7 years. He lives in England and I live in the states. We met for the first time on a dating website. Then we found each other's facebook accounts and continued to talk. We learned about the cultural differences between the uk and America, politics, food, movies, dreams, aspirations, what we would do if we ever met, like take a state wide road trip, ride scary roller coasters, terrorize people we thought looked funny, etc. well I guess somewhere along the lines in the last 7 years, I fell in love with him. He came to visit me in the states 2 years ago and we had an amazing time. We both told each other one day we'd be together, but all of that seems so impossible now. He's engaged to another woman, and I married another man. I just can't help but feel like things would have worked out in our favor under different circumstances. Ps: hubby knows about this. NO BULLIES. I just can't talk about this to anyone.

Too far forget him

Its a "life experience" and one to be cherished but at the same time we all have to move on. I often think of my high school prom date but that was back in 1981. Lol!

Under what "different circumstances"??? Sounds like you had a number of years to make the choice to be together, but neither of you did that...I can't imagine what other circumstances you think would've made a difference, unless you mean if you two had lived fairly close together to begin with, but then the relationship would've been different (online) as there would have been a lot less cultural comparison since one of you would've been already living within the culture of the other person...

He was a good online friend...and maybe he can continue to be...that's all...with only one face-to-face visit, you really can't have known him well enough for love to have developed...you may be in love with the person you think he is or wish he was, but that may or may not be reality...it can take a while to really learn who someone else is (and often requires being with them through ups and downs as well as just the day-to-day mundane part of life)...

What does "NO BULLIES" mean?

Does that mean anyone who disagrees with you and tells you like it is, is a bully?

How old are you?

8?

There is nothing you can do. Either tell him about your feelings, see what he has to say. If he loves you back you should probably break up with your respective parents and give it a try. Remember, he may not feel the same way for you.

Some women read 50 shades of gray, you have a 7-year pretend romance. Personally, I believe in living in the real world, but whatever floats your boat.
