S,

I love you in such a profound way that sometimes I can’t tell if it’s because how dearly I value our friendship or how strong the chemistry is between us. Sometimes it’s hard to be friends when you look at me like you feel this too, but it would be harder to risk losing you again. So it’s okay, I don’t mind loving you from a safe distance while I try to get my shit together.

P.s. I could make you so much happier than she ever could and we both know it.

My ex and I are trying to be friends. We've set up some good boundaries but they are aware that I still have very strong feelings for them and that those feelings are not reciprocated. Recently, we went to a party where they slept with two of my friends. Is that okay? I don't own them. I shouldn't stop them. But they think I'm overreacting when I say that feels insensitive an unkind. What do you think?

Dear everyone trying to be friends with an ex or a person for whom they have strong feelings, to whom they have confessed these feelings, whose feelings are not reciprocated: Stop fucking trying to be friends. 

Stop believing this fallacy that it’s totally possible to be friends with an ex when you still have feelings for them. Hollywood has done an awful lot of damage, but in my opinion, this is one of the worst lies we’re told. You cannot be friends with someone for whom you have strong feelings. You will absolutely grow to hate them, and while that’s a lovely origin story and makes for a fantastic hateful arch-nemesis style relationship, the reality is that it will make you miserable.

You don’t feel it’s okay, clearly. You need distance from this person to put them, their behavior, and your feelings in perspective. You need space. You don’t need to be nice to them; you don’t need to consider their feelings, right now. You need to consider yours. The reality is that this person does not want you in the way that you want them, and if your options are to have them in your life and be stuck in constant torment, or to excise them cleanly for a little bit and allow yourself to heal, I think there is an obvious answer.

Stop talking to them. Cut them out for a little bit. Rip off the band-aid, and get on to the business of getting over them.

AU where McGonagall puts her foot down and says ‘you’re going to give Lily and James and Sirius and Remus and Peter’s boy to WHO?’ and proceeds to destroy every argument Albus has by saying ‘you don’t want him raised so he’s revered and pampered? Fine, give him to me, I’ll raise him.’

She would be strict and firm but Harry would never doubt that he was loved and important; just no more than anyone else.
