How do I adjust my feelings?

I am currently 'the other woman' in an emotional affair. My 'friend' and I communicate throughout the day, we talk about EVERYTHING and he's helping me go through a very difficult, personal problem. The relationship started off as a strictly physical relationship but he insisted on forming the friendship we now have. I have very mixed feelings about our 'relationship' and don't know how to handle it. I have developed romantic feelings towards him so I want to run away; at the same time, I feel I need him as my source of support during this process I'm currently undergoing. I know he cares about me but I don't think he feels the same way I do.

Update:

Wow! So much judgment and little feedback. Thanks Christina and Jill.

    There are thousands of therapists out there and you have chosen someone who really isn't experienced to help you get through your personal problems? You need to realize that he's going to tell you what you want to hear in order to continue to have sex with you. See a therapist. Keep him as a friend if you want to, but don't mix up the two.

    Both of you have something missing in your separate lives.

    If you are uncomfortable with your relationship with him, then find someone else to

    fill the vacancy.

    do you enjoy being the other woman, the second best, the one never good nough..

    you don't adjust feelings to be someone's backup, you leave and be with someone who puts you first, be in a position where it's not harming you or anyone else..

    You need to get out. If you aren't good enough to be his only woman you should run. If they will do it with you , they will do it to you! I agree with that 100%

  • ask him to go with you. if he gives any vague answer or the traditional one " i´m trying to separate but i can´t do it for( any reason) so it is time to leave him but if you prefer to suffer the humilliation that to be the mistress so my dear go on.

    If you were his wife and he was doing this with someone else...how do you think you would feel then? I think you should work on your self respect...or lack there of.

    I don't quite understand what your problem is.
