Good Idea?

ALright so I guess I should just get into it.

Today was a turning point. Today I realized I am in love. With who you ask? My best friend who is like a sister to me (I am a guy, so not a lesbian story here). The problem!?
She is in a realtionship that has almost reached two years now. I am horrified at the idea of revealing my feelings to her. I do not want to put our friendship at risk by her finding my feelings out of place or the risk of any of this somehow affecting her current realtionship.
This has been a topic of very many sleepless nights for me.
I really need to know if hiding my feelings in the current situation is the right thing to do

It's a tough one isn't it. And I'm sorry/happy to say that it isn't unusual in the slightest. Often, when we are in a close relationship with someone, even if that relationship is entirely platonic, we do have some problems in separating our sexual and physical feelings with the emotional link that we have with these people. Occasionally, this leads to a special relationship, but in the majority of cases, it leads to a breakdown in the relationship, and I presume that that isn't what you are after.

I'm guessing- having been in the situation before myself- that you want, on occasion, to blurt it all out, and tell her. Don't. For your own sake, don't.

Normally, I'd tell you to be true to yourself, but the fact that swung it for me is her long term relationship. The fact that she is in it, and hasn't told you that she is unhappy in it, means that she must have  pretty strong feelings for him.

As her friend, I don't think you should interrupt what they have. Not just yet, anyway.

These kind of situations suck. You can do one of many things. The best thing to do is break it down and look at the pros and cons of both.

You can tell your friend how you feel. She might freak out and not want to talk to you for awhile, Or she might be ok with it and be able to handle still being friends.

She might also feel the same way about you and want to be with your from now on. I know how confusing this can be. In the end, do you want to loose a friend or take the chances and maybe gain the love of your life.

I really hope that you can come to a decision. In the end, you are the only one that is going to know what is right for you. There might be a right time or place to do it, and you might need to give it a little bit of time. For all you know, her and her boyfriend might not be doing that great and waiting until after they break up for awhile might be a good idea.

You will know the right time if it is true love. Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the points. I love you all.
