I've had this friend who I've known for a while but didn't get close until these past 2 years. Eventually he said he had feelings for me but I didn't quite reciprocate, and told him I didn't see him that way. Then he had left for military training so we didn't talk for 10 months.
After he got back we started talking again and got close. We would hang out every week, sometimes 4-5 days straight and hanging out with him was just good innocent fun- we're on the same wavelength and I enjoy his friendship greatly but he was only going to be here for 3 months, then he would have to go back to training for about 4 months.
A few days before he had left I playfully asked him if he would miss me. He told me that he would, and that these past couple of months of hanging out I was like his "best friend" he had at boot camp. I don't know what happened, but I kind of got upset at him when he said that, my body felt numb and we always hug when we part ways but that time I just forced a smile and said bye.
I had about a day to mull over how I felt about him, and I kind of got mad at myself for getting mad at him when he referred to me as his best friend. I think I had started developing feelings for him but didn't realize it until he was about to leave for training in addition with him calling me his best friend. It was always in the back of my mind that he was leaving soon but thought it was so far away that I didn't have to worry about it- that we would just hang out forever,
The day he left, I wanted to tell him how I felt about him, that I had feelings for him. I didn't because he was going to be gone for 4 months... I didn't want to basically say "Hey, I like you, see you in 4 months while you think about a relationship during your Army training". So I said my goodbyes, and told him that I was going to miss him dearly.
Then he met someone during training. It killed me. I cried. I felt hurt and jealous. I know none of this is his fault, rather mine. Should I have told him?
