This is the only way i can make this short .. me and my boyfriend have been dating for over 2 months now and our relationship was going well. Like not even a week ago i started to hang out with these guys that he doesn't like or trust .. i told him that i was hanging with them and he got really pissed and we started arguing. In our relationship i am completely honest with him because i don't want to hide something from him and have him find out later from someone else and him get madder than he would've if i had told him in the first place. Well i am starting to have these feelings for a guy i've been hanging out with and i told my boyfriend. He totally flipped out because now he thinks that i like this guy more than i like him - which is NOT true at all. I love my boyfriend with all my heart and i always will no matter what happens between us. I'm just wondering if i should tell my boyfriend that we need to take a break from our relationship so i can figure out if the feelings for the other guy are deep or if i should just forget about the other guy or what?! PLEASE HELP! =(
In the future you may want to keep this in mind.
It is very good to be honest in any relationship you have. You shouldn't though tell them something that could hurt them simply to make yourself feel better. Not telling him you thought you had feelings for someone else would not have hurt your relationship (so long as you didn't act on it). Telling him made you feel better but made him feel bad and gave him doubts.
I am not picking on you...just trying to helpful for the future. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
M_to_the_E_to_the_L answered Monday July 11 2005, 7:41 pm: Well first of all... you obviously don't "love" your current boyfriend if you are having feelings for another guy. Also 2 months typically isn't enough time to say you love them with all your heart. I would say that if you are goign to believe that you love him then you should be willing to stop hanging out with these guys for the best interest of the relationship. If you care abotu your boyfriends feeligns then you would be able to sacrafice. Maybe try haning out in a larger group with them, rather than just them and you.

HEARTXBREAKER answered Monday July 11 2005, 1:33 pm: Okay, if you seriously LOVE your boyfriend, then I wouldn't leave him. But if you don't, and you just LIKE him alot, then I would figure out how much you like the other guy. Because you might lose your boyfriend altogether if you love him and then you take a break. But then again, you might really love the other guy. Try to figure it out BEFORE you make a major move on your part. If you need more advice IM me:i X HEART X YO0U
ToddnDesBffeNe answered Monday July 11 2005, 4:00 am: i say that you should forget about the other guy. its probably just a crush that was developed because you started hanging out with someone new. eventually it will go away. believe me. i have been there and done that a time or two and the feelings have always gone away. i know that this isnt a lot of information about why you should forget about the other guy, but i cant really explain in detail that well on this situation.
i really hope that i helped you and i hope you have good luck with your boyfriend. i know how you feel, i cant not tell my boyfriend something either.
SummerrBabe answered Monday July 11 2005, 1:21 am: i think you should take a break with your boyfriend that way you can sort out your feelings for the both of them and see if you can live with or without your boyfriend. if you have feelings for someone else then u dont love your boyfriend as much as you do/did. so try some time apart and think things through. hope helped [ SummerrBabe's advice column | Ask SummerrBabe A Question ]
hollistertanlines answered Sunday July 10 2005, 11:43 pm: first of all thats really good that you are very honest with your boyfriend.if you love your boyfriend with all of your heart then i dont really think that you would have deep feelings with this other guys that you have been hanging around.you should express your feelings toward your boyfriend when you say "He totally flipped out because now he thinks that i like this guy more than i like him - which is NOT true at all. I love my boyfriend with all my heart and i always will no matter what happens between us". you need to show and tell him that you feel that way.after that just have a talk with your boyfriend.and if you continue hanging out with this guy and feel deep feelings for him then you must like him more than you claim

SoInToYoUx0x answered Sunday July 10 2005, 11:39 pm: i think you should talk to your boyfriend about this. tell him how you feel. tell him how you feel and that this doesnt mean as much as your boyfriend does to you.. i understand where he is coming from i mean what if he told you he was hanging out with some girls that you hate and then like a couple days later he tells you that he likes one of them.you would get mad at him. wouldnt you? but you guys should talk thinks out and if things dont work out take a break and clear your mind. alright. hope this helsp you out.

Mami0s0xclusivex3 answered Sunday July 10 2005, 11:22 pm: ok, well i think that you need to talk to him about it and let him know that not all guys control the relationship, and i think that if you love him enough and you have feeligns for this other guy you should tell him that you need a break. Its the best way to find out if you can live with or without him. And if he doesnt understand then hes not worth your time. If he loves like he clames or acts, then he will let you go and if you love him too, you will go back to him. Its the best thing you can do and maybe its better to let him know that its better then creepin behind his back right? well i hope i helped some, and if you ever need some more advice about this kind of stuff, or are still confused leave it in my inbox and i can help you some more!! Good luck hun
