Just looking for some advice I guess… I have a crush on my brothers best friend… I’m older than them. Here’s a little back story… his parental figures were not great to him and were into a lot of drugs, same with his older siblings. He ended up moving in with us when he was about 12 and never left. I would have been 19 at the time. My brother is a year younger than he is. (He’s 23 now and I’m 30) I trust him just as much as I trust my own brother but we have a different kind of relationship. I never really saw him as a brother. It’s easier to call him my brother when referring to him because he’s a boy we took in when he didn’t have anyone. I’ve seen him go through heartbreaks, trauma, and I’m so proud of him and the man he’s become. He’s been there for me through breakups and moving around the state(literally) and everything in between. The last few times I’ve seen him our hugs lasted longer and we just held each other for a little while. We talk every day and I would do anything for him just as I would my own brother but… idk it’s different with him. We both adults now and idk. I feel like we both may be looking at each other a little differently than we used to and idk how to navigate this. Any advice would be appreciated tbh…
