... day together either working sound te house we share or cuddling on the couch watching TV or a movie. We go out together to the movies, dinner, the fair, grocery shopping or just shopping in general. We laugh and play together whenever we can. We adopted 2 dogs together and are raising chickens together. He's adopted in spirit my 2 cats. He takes care of me and feeds me food off his plate, makes meals for me, does things around the house to make me happy. He says this is our home that we built it together and that my soul will always shine there. We've crossed physical lines that go way beyond just friendship. The issue is we aren't dating and I'm in love with him. He tells me he loves me, but he's not in love with me. His heart is stuck on an ex he knows he has no future with but he still loves her so he doesn't have a heart to give me. He says he's given me everything else he has to give instead but he can't give me his heart. I talked with him one day and told him he needed to figure out what I mean to him. That I love him and care about him but that I can't keep living with him the way we do with things the way we are. I told him I was moving and gave notice and I'm staying at my moms this week to give us space. He's upset. He doesn't want me to leave. He wants us to stay the way we are but he doesn't want me to love him. It's been a year and a half that we've lived this way and I want to move on. How do I leave without losing my best friend that I love so much?
