I Am Confused About My Feelings

i’m in an ldr relationship with someone. we’ve known each other for a really long time, and he’s younger than i am so i’ve always thought of him as a little brother more than anything else. a while back he told me that he’s had feelings for me for a while, which i was completely oblivious to. he told me that it was fine if i didn’t feel the same way. i didn’t at the time and he was fine with that. a couple months later, we were talking and it seemed like overnight he was calling me his and the next morning we were unofficially in a relationship. he never asked me and i didn’t agree. it just happened. i was in a relationship prior to that, and it feels as though i moved on way too fast. it had been a couple months but i wasn’t looking to get into a relationship at all. i do love my current boyfriend so much. we’ve been through so much together. this is the happiest i’ve ever seen him be. i love him but i have so many other things happening in my life right now that i’m not sure i can support him and be his girlfriend when i can barely look after myself. i know how brutal it is when the person you love doesn’t love you equally back. it’s not fair to him i would never entertain anyone else nor would i act single if i did decide to break it to him. i would be his first heartbreak. i love him more than anything but between him and everything else, i have no time for myself. he’s always talking about how he can’t wait to live with me and how happy i make him...i feel like i have no breathing room. if i had to choose, i’d rather feel like this than break his heart. however, i feel like it’s not fair to him. i can’t be the kind of girlfriend he deserves because of everything else. i can’t open up to him because i’m not used to having someone there for me all the time and i’m honestly scared. if i did end things, would he be the same? would he still love me? would he hate me? maybe i’m just overwhelmed with stuff but i don’t know. i feel like a horrible awful disgusting person.

you should have backed him off from the start
I would say now is the time for some honesty ,even if it hurts
Nothing is worse than wasting 15 yrs of your life on someone
and find out they have a boyfriend on the side
They have wanted to leave you for a while they were just to scared to face you and do it ,
See I let someone I love get away not wanting to let her down
I asked her to marry me a long time ago ,but she liked it how it was
So in my mind she did not deserve the above everyone else position ,and me forsaking all others ,,if she was not all in
And when I needed her she let me down ,and I had to ask someone else for help and I fell in love with her ,but out of loyalty ,,not wanting to hurt anyone
I let the one that was willing to marry me get away
So when I asked the other one to move out ,it was no big deal
She had someone anyway
It sucks when people just can't be honest
That crap will never happen to me again ,its to painful
If there is going to be from honesty ,and no beating around the bush
It sucks to be blindsided ,
You moved out of the friendship zone when you didn't want to ?
Now it may take a long time to get back to how it was if ever
But its better then dragging it out and end up hating each other over it
I would eventually love you more just for being honest with me
even if we were not together

Sorry if thats a little like rambling ,,I am tired ,but I think you will get what I mean
