Finding the source of your feelings is also a step towards getting rid of feelings of guilt you may be experiencing.

Write down your feelings about the situation in a journal.

Keep in mind that he may not have a girlfriend later down the road. You can’t be with him now, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be with him in the future. Even still, move on in order to better your own life.

Don’t become the other woman or mistress. You may get to be with him, but it is unfair to everyone involved. Even if he offers to leave his girlfriend for you, consider if this step would be worth it. Think about it this way: if he is willing to leave his girlfriend for you, what would he do to you when he finds “the newest thing”?

If his girlfriend is your friend, try to maintain the friendship without taking your feelings out on her.

If the problem persists for too long, reach out to a professional for help.

Ask a friend to exercise with you.
