I've been avoiding it because it will probably hurt us both but reading through these responses I am beginning to see that you're right. Thanks for responding.

That's not something I was ever considering. I'm definitely monogamous, and attracted to the opposite gender yes. While I know I can still love my friend and have a romantic partner, I couldn't still share a bed or cuddle without feeling like it was cheating. We're going to have to create boundaries, it was hard for me to think about and will be difficult to implement but it's the right thing to do. Thanks for the response.
All very valid, I think you've hit the nail on the head. I just feel terrible and upset about creating this situation. I, perhaps we, did let the lines blur, I don't blame either one of us for it. Convenience and familiarity dropped our guard. We were there for each other when we needed it but in hindsight it was foolish to let things go past physical barriers or maybe even emotionally without considering the future. At the time they moved in it was supposed to be temporary, I did miss that detail in my post. That's no longer the case but we never revisited the topic of where things stand. It's obvious to me now that I must say something. Thanks for your response.
I guess I am a bit of a coward. I do appreciate the comment. It's a good point.
Yeah, I've thought about it. Things would definitely have to change before I started dating. I think what I didn't consider is how long it might take to make those changes. That I couldn't just jump into it now that I'm feeling ready.
Never meet your heroes, I guess.
I wholeheartedly agree, such a disappointment. He took a very weird turn, and it was so sudden.
Monica has come a long way, hate to see all the grief she still gets. I mean it takes two to cheat you know but does anyone give Bill shit? Not really.
Yeah I did too, it tracks since she gave her birth year as 2009 to cops when caught stealing from a store, when investigated she was actually born in 2001. On a side note, God damn people born in the 2000s are becoming adults? When did I get so old? Make it stop!
Hear fuckin hear my friend! It's about damn time!

Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm beginning to feel a little more confident. You brought up good points. I really wouldn't want to be with someone who can't accept we are pretty much a package deal even if I'm looking for a monogamous romantic partner. I do not and have not intend(ed) to continue any sexual stuff going forward (not that it's often or anything) especially since this is how I feel. I was afraid to miss out on someone because of our complex relationship but my right person would be accepting.
