Wow, so I actually did this. First I told my two closets female friends, they were unbelievable in their support and clarity but the hardest part was telling my male best friend, the one I spend the most time with, to the pint where we have a very co-dependent relationship and the one who I fell in love with (see earlier posts). He was so great, didn't obviously reciprocate that type of love but lovers me platonically however I stated I need to cut ties with him for a while because it is so hard, he couldn't understand why I needed to do that but came to realise why it is necessary for me. I'm not going to lie, as much as I feel free, I also feel sad, not spending time with someone I care about so much is gut wrenching and it feels like a break up, but it shall pass. This has been such a journey and I gotta say there's alot more to be had, but I think I did good for now......
Great for you! Sometimes some bittersweetness goes with it. Proud of you for being on the journey and doing what you need for yourself.
