"shit, im in love with my best friend" -> "shit, i have platonic feelings for my partner" (trigger warning for suicidal ideation)
Since child I was confused about romance. I felt very close to my best friend, unlike anyone else, and I assumed that was love, but now I learned about being aromantic and asexual and I think that is actually me. But already it happened that my best friend confessed love to me and I agreed, so we became partners. She has a lot of mental health problems (depression and anxiety and potentially BPD) and I have talked her out of suicide multiple times. I am scared that if I tell her how I really feel, that I do not feel different for her than just a friend, she will commit suicide and it will be my fault. We only know each other online, so anything I say I have to say over text. Please, I want advise if you have any. Have a good day
