break up or stay? please help :(

This is a long story so I am sorry..if anyone can help I would be so happy and thankful!!! Typing on my phone so I apologize for typos.

I've been dating my boyfriend for almost 6 months. I've only been in one serious relationship bedore this. It lasted 2 years. I'm 25. My bf is 31.

I'm just not entirely happy in the relationship, but I feel like I don't have any concrete grounds to end it.

My bf is honestly the nicest person I've ever met. He does so many things for me, listens to me, plans fun dates, and never gets angry, even if I lose my temper with him. We share some simipar interests.

Thing is, some things about him bother me. I'm from a really large city, and the people in the state I'm currently in aren't the most worldly people you could say. My bfs lack of knowledge about other cultures annoys me a lot. He is also really pciky with food. I'm always up on new things, he follows the news but that's it. I'm always the one sharing somethibg new with him. I'm always the one introducing him to something new. I give him credit for trying new things, but his lack of knowledge about a lot of things annoys me. Even tje fact taut he's never seen a lot of movies..Indiana Jones, star wars, back to the future, etc really annoys me. I'm interested in a lot of nerdy things like harry potter, the movies I mentioned, video games...hes not. I don't know why that bothers me, but it does. I think its just because he isn't interested in much except for sports and animals (which I like both)

I work in science, and I want to go back to school and work my way up the career ladder. He has a decent business job, but I don't even know of his goals or anything. O think he's content to stay here his whole life. I'm not.

The other thing is our sex life sucks. The first few times we made out were amazing. For some reaaon, things just went downhill. He is now horrible at kissing, especially French kissing. It's superficial too, but I'm just not that attracted to him. He isn't ugly, but he is super hairy which honestly grosses me out (back hair!) And short. Superficial, bit I never feel like I want to do anything sexual with him. We also barely make out. We live on opposite sides of the city and I work starting early and he works really late. We barely see each other during tje week.

It sounds like I don't like him, but he treats me SO WELL and we do have some things in common. I like his friends and family. Part of me wonders if i wont break up with him because of how guilty id feel if I do. My friends say to stay with him for now, but I don't know what to do. I don't know how long to keep trying at this relationship. It's IMPOSSIBLE to find dates in this city. I had been single for almost 3 years before I met him. I'm afraid ill regret endinf the relationship and that ill make a mistake if I do. How do I know what to do? I'be been in love before, but I wonder if ill ever love my boyfriend

Hun you have more than enough reasons to end the relationship. There is not enough comparability to keep the desire going. 6 months is not a lot of time invested, plus you are at the end of the honeymoon stage of your relationship...if you feel this way about him, it's because he is not the one. It takes way more than "being nice" for a relationship to last for the long haul. You don't have enough experience to know this, so I'm sharing mine. A relationship ends because someone isn't happy, unsatisfied, feeling unfulfilled.....you don't have to be fighting all the time, or cheating involved. Some just stop dead in it's tracks because there is really nothing left to look forward too. Stop feeling guilty....these things happen. It's OK.

I am also in a similar situation with my boyfriend. Crazy, uncontrollable circumstances led to the point where we were living together a month into our relationship. 4 months later and I'm pretty burned out of the relationship but too afraid/guilty to break up with him. I'm disappointed and turned off by the person he actually is and completely unsatisfied with our sex life. I'm afraid to end it because I feel like I'm never going to find anyone else better than him. But if I'm honest with myself, I know that one way or another we will eventually break up because I don't love him, and the longer I wait, the harder it will be.
