I told my boyfriend of five years about my limerance for a coworker.

I was so nervous to tell him, but I phoned him up on video call last night and told him. This has been brewing for seven months, there were times when I was so confused and overwhelmed that I had wanted to break up with him.

He took it really well. No jealousy, no anger, nothing. Just calm acceptance. He's the best. Now we can navigate this space together. I don't have to feel this horrible guilt and shame surrounding my infatuation while being in a loving relationship. I can move forward and move on slowly but surely. It's a great feeling.
