Having developed feelings for a friend of more than ten years, he should not continue to make decisions based on his personal values and circumstances. Continuing this relationship may bring some benefits, such as strengthening friendship, deepening feelings, experiencing more things together, and building a deeper relationship. However, it might also bring some challenges, such as different perceptions of feelings between the two parties, conflicts in the process of getting along, and so on. If you think this relationship is worth a try, you can try to communicate with the other party and express your thoughts and feelings while respecting the other party's thoughts and feelings. Through communication and understanding, they could find the problem and find a solution to it. If you're not sure if you should continue this relationship, you can temporarily put it aside and give yourself some time to think and calm down. No matter what decision you make, you must respect your own feelings and values and try to make the decision that suits you best.
