I’ve been secretly madly in love with my best friend for 12 years. It was like love at first sight. We have always been great friends and supported one another while dating other people. I had some jealousy here and there but never a big deal. I always felt it was a one sided love so never thought about it too much. Over this past year, we’ve both been single and really reconnected. We talk almost everyday. They are super busy and I respect that, but I always felt like they carved time out for me. That made me feel special. It made me feel like it was just the two of us. I flew to NY in August to reconnect and although nothing physically happened and I didn’t confess my love, I felt like we might have something. Cut two moths later, I find myself back in NY ready to confess my love, and they tell me they slept with two other people in the last month. Seems to really really like one of them. Looked happy about it. They broke my heart and didn’t even know it. I kept my composure well. Told them I was happy for them, and I’ll always root for them no matter what. The friend side really came out. I left NY without saying a word about my feelings. My gut told me there was something there between us. Now my gut tells me they are falling for the other person and soon will be back in another committed relationship. My question is, do I tell them how I feel or just let it go and be the best supportive friend I can be?

Should I tell my friend I’m in love with them? Good idea or bad idea?
