you need to just be honest and talk to them

Yeah, it sucks and it’s an awful situation to be in on both sides but it hurts more the more you draw it out. It’s also okay if this person is hurt. People hurt each other and unfortunately that’s what life is. You don’t want to build a life with someone you don’t love and if you care about this person, you also don’t want them to be in a one-sided relationship

gaslighting myself into thinking I love them in ways I simply don’t is uber-unhealthy, no matter how much I wish I did. still hate that this is the “healthy” option, so could use some advice (or, preferably, some convincing that it can work out)
