Break up with him. It's the least you could do. Live a double life? Why? Because you get satisfaction in saying you've been dating one boy for such a long time. No. Relationships don't go that way. TRUE ones at least.

I've been through a breakup after being with the guy for over two years. Sometimes things just don't work out. If you feel differently, it's not fair to either of you if you keep dragging it out.
If you have feelings for another guy and you are thinking about it in this way while being with someone else, you should talk to your boyfriend about how you feel.
And to answer your last question- if you are willing to live a "double life" like that: yes, in my opinion you should break up with him. It really doesn't look like you're feeling him and you shouldn't play him for a fool.
If you end up breaking up with him, you should always conduct that in a respectful way and not pull the guy apart with your words when you do it. [ Samcia's advice column | Ask Samcia A Question ]

Should you keep living a double life - well how is it making you feel, do you feel guilty, do you feel stressed, is it difficult? If the answer to those questions is yes then my advice is sort this thing now. If the answer is no then maybe you feel you should hang on and keep your options open. Others may disagree with me saying that but I'm not going to judge you or give you a lecture on the rights and wrongs of how you conduct your love life! I suspect what you really want to do is ditch the boyfriend and go for it with the other guy? If that's the case go for it! But do think about your boyfriends feelings and try to be fair to him.
