Hi, I’m not sure if this is the right place, but I wasn\u2019t sure where else to turn.<\/p>\n

Me (M36) and my partner (also M36) are both cops. We\u2019ve been through a lot together over the years, but recently, things have gotten really complicated, and I could use some advice.<\/p>\n

About six months ago, my partner was shot in our police parking garage by a really bad guy. He nearly died, and it\u2019s been a long road to recovery. During his recuperation, I\u2019ve been taking care of him, making sure he\u2019s okay physically and emotionally. We\u2019ve grown even closer during this time, but now that he\u2019s about to come back to work, things have gotten tense.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been arguing a lot lately, especially about him returning to duty. I think it is because I\u2019m terrified of losing him again. The thought of him getting hurt or worse is more than I can handle.<\/p>\n

A week ago, we had a massive fight. It was about him coming back to being a cop, and things got really heated. He finally demanded to know why I was so against his return. In the heat of the moment, I blurted out, \u201cBecause I love you.\u201d It was like the words just spilled out before I could stop them.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t say anything immediately, and the silence stretched on. I started to panic and eventually just left. Since then, I\u2019ve been avoiding him. He\u2019s been calling, texting, emailing, and trying to FaceTime, but I haven\u2019t responded. I\u2019m scared he\u2019s going to tell me he wants a new partner, that he doesn\u2019t feel the same way, or even worse, that he wants me out of his life altogether.<\/p>\n

To give you more context, my partner and I have always had a deep bond. We trust each other with our lives, and this near-death experience brought us even closer. During his recovery, I realized my feelings for him were more than just friendship. I fell in love with him, in a way that goes beyond just pals. Like wanting to kiss him and spend the rest of my life with him kinda love.<\/p>\n

Now, with him coming back to work, I\u2019m scared. I\u2019m scared of losing him to the dangers of the job, and I\u2019m scared of losing him because of my feelings. I don\u2019t know if he feels the same way, and that uncertainty is eating me alive. When I blurted out my confession, I hoped for some sign, any sign, that he might feel the same. But his silence was crushing.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what to do. Should I face him and talk it out, risking whatever he might say? Or is it better to keep my distance and wait for him to make the first move? I\u2019m really torn and could use some advice on how to handle this situation.<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance for any help.<\/p>\n
