I've had feelings for girls in and out of relationships, at all sorts of different times. Many of my friends have at various points.

I think that you might be the only one in history to have this.
We should probably call research institutions to study this phenomenon.

That's exactly the situation for me, I mean I fell in love with this girl ( H ) almost instantly and haven't seen her for months. Now I'm in a relationship with someone else ( R ) but my feelings for H are still there, I have recently gained social media contact with H and my feelings have amplified and I don't know what to do...
I'm also scared to tell either of them that I identify as non-binary cos I don't know how they'll react...

Well, personally I'd say "Nah, I'm good." and 180.

Don't think you can really fall in love, you probs just find this other girl more attractive.

Unless you actually know the other girl well then it's possible but can't just fall in love with someone else by looking

We spent the whole day talking to each other and what we like and she had an amazing sense of humour and extremely similar interests as me

It's pretty normal to at least find other people attractive when you're in a relationship. Being in a relationship doesn't mean you're suddenly incapable of being attracted to anyone other than your partner, it means that they're the one you go home to (at least figuratively).

Same goes for feelings. It's not impossible to develop feelings for someone else while you're in a relationship, and half the time they're amplified by your knowledge that you can't/shouldn't act on them. Most often they dissipate and you get back to your normal life. If they don't, they're just not as intense (this has happened to me in both directions, with friends), and you don't even feel bad about it. One of my friends, for example, is married. She likes me, I like her, everyone knows, and everyone knows we wouldn't.

So I wouldn't worry about it :h:

I'd rather just create my own pharmaceutical company that produces feeling-inhibiting drugs :redface:. Alternatively, I could just scare people away.

I bet your friend's husband loves you then haha.

I think you're describing selective seratonin-reuptake inhibitors :p:

He and I are pretty good friends actually, one of those things. He knows we can be trusted and he's perfectly secure in his relationship with his wife. Actually I admire the relationship they have very deeply; they're what a lot of couples I know could never be.

Hey, Jay-C.

You could fall in love with a woman because your personalities click or the vibe is perfect. The timing of you meeting this Woman can unfortunately happen when you already have a Girlfriend in your life.

So you have a tough choice to make…
Either you start a new relationship with the woman you have Fallen in Love with or Stay in the Existing relationship and keep the fire alive.

I appreciate that you are seeking advice on whether you should go with this new woman.
Women and Men are both guilty of having extra-marital relationships because they are too afraid to make a decision that they can’t withdraw later on.
What do you think?

I think you can fall for two girls at the same time yes, and yes it can be very difficult as you dont want to destroy what you have or destroy the relationship with the other person. Sometimes both girls are happy being around you and it seems sad to lose that for both or one of them no ?
