The life that we live

Ok it’s a long story but I am single with a male best friend who is as close to having a partner as you can get without a commitment. So here is how the story goes.. we have been friends for several years now (almost 6 to be exact) and in the begining we considered dating. For reasons that will remain unsaid it was decided that we would not date but stay friends. We went through several years of bouncing back and forth with our friendship sometimes going several months without talking. Well for this last year we have spent every day talking or texting faithfully. I tell him everything like a good best friend and we have gotten so close that even my teenage kids call him dad. (that’s a whole other story) So we started telling each other that we love one another. Strange, yes? Keep in mind there is still no dating or any other kind of intimate interaction. So any way, now he wants me and the kids to move in with him… What do you think? All a bit confusing right? So that is where I stand on the relationship front, a long drawn out confusing situation. So am I single? Well I guess I am, I just have a best friend who happens to be involved in my life decisions.. go figure right?
