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.

This is just my opinion. Be honest with him. Let him know that he is an important part of your life and you don't want to lose that. Then let him know that you still need time to recover from your last boyfriend. If the two of you have already been sexually active this could really compromise your friendship because it may just look as you were leading him on. He could feel that way even if you didn't. But above all be honest with him. I believe in God so I would also pray for the right outcome to be placed in his hands. Just my thoughts.
