Leaving a best friend for love

Tweet

Imagine this.. I had a best friend for 17 years, we got together though at the end but just for couple of months. He is an Indian man. For almost 17 years we were purely best friends and shared everything with each other from cultural and spiritual topics to or messed up dates with others. We were matching very well, had same kind of interest and thinking, never had arguments. We thought we would be perfect together. We already planned marriage. But I would have to leave everything to move to New Delhi. And he needed long time and strategy to convince his parents as he said. I would have gotten good job and rich family. He almost convinced his parents. But to be honest New Delhi is not the city I imagined the rest of my life. The pollution is the biggest problem, but also my dream was to live on the beach. Then Coronavirus separated us for few months. I decided to have a week trip in Egypt in March. Then last day I met a tour guide with whom we were joking and laughing on the whole trip. We were so similar, we could read each other's mind. It's like I found my male version. So I decided to extend my trip for a week. One hour after I did, they suddenly and without previous notice shut down the airport and cancelled all the flights. So I stucked here. With my tour guide.. As I was spending more time with him I wasn't missing anyone or anything. I realized that my best friend wasn't meant to be my husband. I fell in love with this Egyptian man. The problem is that I was totally honest with him and told him everything about Jaanu, my Indian friend. So in his mind J. is my ex. I couldn't make him understand that he was purely my friend for nearly 17 years and since I met him I don't have any more feeling for my friend than friendship. F. (my boyfriend, I will just use his initial here) asked me to stop talking to J. But I talked to him again, because I still considered him my best friend. And when F. found it out (my boyfriend) that I talked to him there was a big drama. I have already decided to move to Egypt and met all his family, made plans with all of them for the future. I thought it's enough proof of my love for F. and that I don't have feelings for my friend. Is it normal to be extremely gelous in this case? Maybe also because of the cultural differences that we have different way of thinking or that we are different sex.. I have blocked my friend since. I did this for F. too, I don't know why wouldn't it be proof enough..
