[Please sorry for any mistake with the language. I am no native speaking]
It’s been almost ten years since I first joined this forum... unfortunately, I’ve had another setback during the last here, and I’m back here, in this one safe space on the internet, to ask for some support I live in Europe. Somehow always worked before, but after covid-19 and a series of personal losses, I went through a period of neglecting important areas of my life. I became unemployed, except for a brief period, struggled to get back on my feet, and had housing issues, including an unfinished home renovation and hoarding problems -recovered Despite trying to behave well, a was broken. I am 38 now I knew a man through an online cinema community that I -at first- mostly followed silently, without interacting much. Eventually, I was invited to a group event last December. I hadn't seen people in a long time, but still attended Was used to single life, no casual dating, nothing... since 2018 I developed a strong interest in him from the beginning, but my personal circumstances made it difficult to express my feelings after. I was evasive about my work situation and generally kept my distance from people. I followed some Twitch live and Discord activitis (small group, adults) and tried to interact in bad conditions. I know Around April or May, another woman who was already began interacting with him more frequently in private, and they eventually started dating in july. I never tried to interfere, and I've tried to accept the situation, but I still deeply regret never expressing my feelings I had previosly met her another time in february I've been single for eight years, and my feelings for him were sincere. I have no intention of disrupting their relationship and i have some dignity but also angry and there is more to that. In july i tried to walk away silently but the creator looked for me and ask where i had been Eventually even when i tried to keep distance, it was kind a persecution Would you find acceptable to send him a brief, honest message explaining how I felt and why I never said anything, without expecting anything in return? This is not my first option cause it's still humiliating. So i tried to edit a mp and leave it as an "easter egg" in his mp box (with me) in previous conversations. I am really struggling to let this go I kinda gave this my time every day since January Please no rude answer. I am not interfering in their relationship which by the way it's kinda not official yet P.s.: i have a feelings she knew. |

I don’t see the harm in letting him know how you feel, but being more direct and approaching him openingly might be a better option. Good luck.

I have struggled with some of the language in your post (clarity issues) and in particular fail to see what was humiliating to you. Could you write a little more about what actually happened?

I hope this sounds more clear At the beginning of the year, I tried to act responsibly towards someone I had feelings for Since I was unemployed and in an unstable financial situation, I decided not to confess my feelings at first My situation still hasn't fully improved In the meantime, around July, he started seeing someone else, although they haven't made their relationship official as far as I know I'm still unsure whether I should tell him how I felt, especially since I haven't completely sorted out my own situation. As time goes by, it feels increasingly pointless to say anything, because he seems to be getting closer to her. I struggled a lot with this situation throughout the spring and summer I think the new girlfriend, who was also an aquaitance of mine and claimed to be "friends" kinda new about my feelings and decided to ignore it somehow. But i have no proof, it is a strong feeling. I don't want any chaos so i let it go |

I think you made the right call. The lesson learned is to keep sorting out your situation so that when the next man appears in your life whom you are interested in, you won't hold yourself back due to your difficult situation. It is a good goal to work toward.
