(Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | How to handle awkward feelings for a co-parent Dear Carolyn: I share a friendly co-parenting relationship with my 9-year-old daughter's father. It hasn't always been easy. We were in a newish relationship when I got pregnant, and he left only a few months after she was born. I dealt with a lot of feelings of anger and abandonment at the time, but he has since apologized, admitting he was overwhelmed and ashamed of his actions. I now consider him to be one of my closest friends. Recently, we've been spending more time together as a family, and I find myself developing feelings for him. I want to say something, but I'm worried it'll make things awkward between us if he doesn't reciprocate. How should I approach this? Should I tell my daughter's father I have a crush on him, or should I just take a step back and let things subside? I'll admit, a small part of me thinks he might feel the same way, too, but I don't want to screw up the good co-parenting relationship we already have. — Have Feelings |
