How to Cheat On Your Partner/ Deal With Cheaters - i think i am the other woman (20 y/o)

Question
Hello,
We are sorry, but Jen wasn't able to answer your question:

Ok...so i have this friend...and two years ago when we were both freshmen, we had a one night drunken hook up that i wound up taking his virginity.

we stayed very close friends telling each other everything...he tells me two years ago he's crazy about me and asks me out...

being an idiot i say no...and continue on my destructive path until i get my ass handed to me bc of booze and drugs and my parents gave me an ultimatum.

in that next year i did aa and rehab, and my friend stood by my side supporting and loving me. he stood there while i ran into other guys' arms every night. but still loved me all the same, and maybe more each time i came back to him even more broken then the last time. always with a smile, open arms, and a shoulder to cry on.

until 9 months ago  when he falls off the radar.
he reemerges, with a girlfriend who is 3 or 4 years his senior, at a ball hosted by my college, and i catch my first heartbreaking glimpse of them. I go home over the summer...thinking that in the fall they will be through. no luck. they are still going strong, and to make it worse she is threatened by me, and doesn't let him see me....so we have been sneaking around hangout....a few hours in the library or a few movies at my place after class.

This was ok until tonight while texting i realized i really love him. so while talking we begin playing 20 questions. until he reveals that he secretly wished we were together since i went through rehab and basically grew up. now i'm confused and i feel like i am the other woman.

is this cheating?
what should i do? try to win him back to the good side?
and if so how????

please help my mangled heart....
(we are both 20)

Answer
It's not cheating unless the two of you are doing something sexual, if you are just hanging out as friends, it's fine.

As far as winning him back just tell him how you feel, let him know you love him and that you are also a different person and not the same one you were before going to AA. Let him know that now you are ready for a relationship with him. Make sure you tell him that you aren't trying to steal him from his girlfriend but you would love to be more than friends.
