Should I reach out to a woman who I was good friends with for years but secretely had a crush on?
I realised early on that even though we got on like a house on fire she would never be interested in me romantically. So i kept quiet and stayed friends with her for maybe 6 years? I met her family and she met mine. I was her shoulder to cry on, her ride home, helped her get jobs (2), I'd even help her around her house when I was bored.
However she went through a few boyfriends each more abusive than the last and it wasn't until last march that she finally met a new guy who apparently is the one. And she would begin to talk to me less. We used to talk every day and it became weeks and even a month without hearing from her unless I reached out first. I felt like shit. I wanted to be happy for her but I was feeling neglected and around october I finally told her
>I have a crush on you and I don't think this would be fair for our friendship so I'm leaving
I deleted her contact and when weeks went by with no response I blocked her. I just feel wretched about it all and I don't know if there was anything more I could have done.

You should have cut contact with her about 6 years earlier. Otherwise, no.
