Dear Prudence,
I have developed a huge crush on my best friend’s husband and I don’t know how to deal with it. I would just try to avoid him, but we have developed a friendship over the years as well. We have a lot in common and get along really well, so it’s just natural that he frequently joins us when I have plans with my friend. She always asks me first, but at this point it would be weird if I started saying no.
I would never dream of acting on these feelings and I don’t think he has any kind of non-platonic feelings towards me whatsoever. I was hoping my crush would go away on its own in time, but it’s only getting stronger because he’s such a great guy. How do I nip this in the bud for good?
