Should I leave a 7 year relationship for someone I have way more in common with
I know some of you will judge me for my actions but I still post this for those of you who can lend me your wisdom. (I already know I'm an asshole for this, you don't have to remind me)
I was wondering if someone on this forum could give me some advise on something that has been bothering me a lot. I have been in a relationship with a woman for 7 years, we have a good friendship. I love and care for her deeply but I feel like I cannot grow with her. Things are not in the dumps but they have remained stagnant in my opinion. I have met a woman who I have great chemistry with, I have so much more in common with her and we connect on a very profound level. Intellectually, Spiritually, you name it. Its like we have known each other all our life. Every conversation and interaction I have with her I walk away with something profound,deep, or beneficial to my evolution as a person, and the same goes for her. It's like we are Twin Flames. And did mention I am attracted to her as well. Her way of thinking and way of living life is far more aligned with who I am. I am torn between leaving this long relationship for the woman who I have more in common with, or spending more time to work on my relationship. Like I said, my relationship is not bad, it's good, but not great. The relationship isn't going downhill, it's just not ascending, it has somewhat reached it's peek. I feel guilty about leaving my 7 year relationship to start a new one with the woman who I am more in tune with. I feel like this is a selfish act to leave someone who I have been with for such a long time for someone that I may have more personal growth with. It defies the notion of commitment and loyalty. I am deeply troubled by the possibility of hurting her feelings and finishing such a long relationship.
