I feel in love with someone who was gay how didn't I know?

I have known this guy for almost 7 years, he is my best friend. Well about a year ago I completly fell in love with him. He became my world, and I became his. Then one night out of nowhere he tells me he's gay? How do I get over him, I love him so much, even still. He just fits perfectly what do I do?I feel in love with someone who was gay how didn't I know?The relationships sounds codependent not that it so bad. It would appear you fell for him because of the love, security and support you've always been comfortable getting from him. Now the thing is to remain his friend while looking to get some those things in other places. Try hanging out together a little less and making more friends and it should help.
