DEAR DEIDRE: I’VE been in love with my best friend for years.
But now she’s come out as gay, and it’s breaking my heart knowing nothing can ever happen between us.

She’s 23, I’m 25 and we’ve been friends since we were 18.
For the last five years, she was in a relationship with a complete waster. All he wanted to do was game with his friends.
When they split in April, I thought I’d finally have a chance to tell her how I feel.
But last week, at a dinner with all our friends, she came out as gay. She also revealed she’s dating a girl from work.

I’m finding it really tough being around her at the moment as I’m struggling to hide my disappointment.
Do I have to walk away from this friendship?
DEIDRE SAYS: Unrequited love is painful, as there’s no closure. But it would be a shame to walk away from this friendship.
You may need some space if you are to properly get over her, and talking to someone impartial will help.
