<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

I'm 31. Female. Generally think of myself as heterosexual, which is to say that most of my relationships have been with guys and I haven't really been interested in anyone from the other side of the field. I am generally bad at friendships with women -- it's me, not them, but by and large I don't find most things that girls do interesting and for whatever reason I tend to get along better with guys. I've had a few female friends, but 2.5 years ago I met.. let's call her Laura. 

World changes. Best friend in the whole world. Love spending every second I can with her. We talk. We eat. We bake cookies. We run. We laugh and play and everything is great. I hadn't cried in almost 5 years, but did so on her shoulder after losing the dog I grew up with. I was the maid of honor in her wedding, and her husband is one of my favorite people.

I have a boyfriend that I've been with for years, and am quite happy with. We live together. Not the marrying sort, but things are stable and serious. 

About three weeks ago it just hits me like a ton of bricks. I am batshit fucking crazy in love with Laura. 

I physically ache when I think about it. You can't really tell your very heterosexual married best friend that you're in love with them. I mean sure, she is my friend, and she'd probably take it well.. but some things just aren't helped by sharing them, and I get the feeling this is probably one of them.

So, Reddit, what do you do? Do you just suck it up and keep on going hoping that time will make things fade? Do you try and bottle it up until it goes away? Do you go all out and tell the person, consequences be damned?
<bot>: In love with my (same sex) best friend that is married and also believes that I am straight.. which I also believed until a few weeks ago. Not sure how to cope.
