I have been dating my boyfriend for almost a year. Our 1 year is in October... anyway earlier in the relationship my boyfriend did some really messed up things that I almost broke up with him over. I still have thoughts about the things he did that really bothered me. None the less I forgave him for all the stuff that he did even though i feel like i let him off the hook way to easy. Recently I have been hanging out with this guy and he is really amazing. He knows how to treat a girl.. he's like the definition of a perfect boyfriend. Anyway he now knows that I like him and he likes me to. If i want to be with him I have to break up with my boyfriend. The problem is of course my boyfriend and I have been dating for a while and I still love him but it's like ever since I met this guy all I can do is think about him and how great he is. I want to break up with my boyfriend to be with him but at the same time a don't. I really don't want to hurt my boyfriend but it's like I want someone new like I'm sick of him. It's going to be so hard for my boyfriend because I know he loves me and cares about me a lot that's why I don't want to break up with him because I don't want to find out that I messed up our relationship and moved on to this new guy when it wont work. I know that i will get over it but I see him in school everyday so it's kind of hard. What do you think I should do?
What I honestly would do if I were in your shoes though?
BREAK UP WITH YOUR CURRENT BOYFRIEND. I know, he'll probably hurt in the beginning, but personally, if my significant other was seeing someone else while they were WITH me, I'd probably be more hurt than if they broke up with me and then went out with that person [that they were seeing]. This way here, you don't have to lie, or feel guilty. [ vivalajam0x's advice column | Ask vivalajam0x A Question ]
