When friendship becomes a refuge from examining your love life

My best friend and I have been inseparable since college but lately I've been pulling away because I'm realizing how much I've been using our friendship to avoid dealing with my own romantic patterns. I don't know how to tell her that loving her well might mean creating some distance while I figure out why I keep choosing unavailable people.

More people experience this than they realize.
