Fallen for someone who may be forbidden?
I'm forever hearing about people with crushes on those who maybe they shouldn't have crushes on. There are many different permutations of love dynamics where it might be seen as wrong by others who have close contact with the two people who may be headed down a ‘risky’ romantic path.
I've tackled this in my weekly Love Clinic on iVillage UK - do check it out fear you're falling for the wrong person. In this case it's a woman who has fallen for her best friend's divorced father. Not such a bad thing you might think however there is a nearly 30 year age gap and her best friend of 10 years hasn't a clue.
TODAY’S TIP: As long as it's nothing illegal or immoral, so much of love that seems to start out on a risky or somewhat ‘forbidden’ path somehow manages to find its way.
Speaking to various people for research for my self-help books over the years I've found many relationships - that go on to be deeply loving and successful - haven't had a great start.
So my tip is to be hopeful but also be honest with those around you who may have some vested interest in what's going on. Ultimately it's your decision but it's never good thing to trample on the feelings of people you supposedly care about.
Take care of yourself, Pamx
