Bestfriend and sex!

I've known my best friend for over 6 years. Ever since we met we became bffs were very close like I've never been with anyone else. I'm a girl(25) and he's a guy (28)...

Last year I got pregnant from a guy and after getting me pregnant he was no longer in my life by my choice because he practically raped me which I hate to use that word. This year I had my baby. My bff has been there for me throughout mostly the whole process he lives in another state and while I was pregnant he would fly out to see me and all. My baby is almost 3 months and I just flew out there to visit him, he payed my ticket and everything. The thing is, with the years I've secretly known that my bff has always loved me but hasn't really ever told me because he's always respected me sooo much for all these 6 years that I've known him, he's told me things here and there but I know he's afraid to tell me that he loves me as more then a bff. Throughout these 6 years I've been in serious relationships, I was engaged at some point and all. Well since I got pregnant and almost two years before my pregnancy ive been single but these last months while pregnant I have became closer then usual to him in a different way. Me and him had never kissed or disrespected eachother in no way for all these 6 years until this time I went to visit him we kissed and the kiss lead to sex. Somehow it didn't feel akward because we know 99% of everything of ourselves except we didn't know eachother sexually at all. He was very sweet and after he ended up confessing some of his true feelings. He told me he wants to marry me and he wants me to help him pick a house so I move in with him and we become a family. I don't know what to think because I'm very speechless. I truly love my bff but I've never seen him as more then that. He's the perfect guy though in my eyes but I've been hurt so much in the past that for some years of being single I've forgotten things. I would love your advice on what you would do and what you think of my story, TYSMIA!💜
