I'm in an almost perfect relationship. My BF and I have been dating for almost 3 years. I only have 1 problem, I have a friend (he lives in the UK).Me and him have this crazy amazing chemistry. He broke up with his fiance a few moths ago and now were talking more and more and he might come to see me in a couple of months and I'm really scared that Im gonna fall for him. He's always been the guy that I wondered what it would be like to be with him and i've always told my self, if I had a chance to be with him and I don't take it I will regret it FOREVER. Well he's finally single and he really wants to be with me. What I'm getting to is that I want to see where this could go with him but I'm afraid to leave my BF because what if things don't work out and I give up a really great guy who adores me. My BF is the practical choice to be with, but the UK guy is someone I've wanted for about 15yrs. What do I do???? Please help me!!!! THANKS!!!!
Take a good long look at your current relationship... the pro's and cons of it. Then take a serious look at the pro's and cons of this other guy (an honest look... let's not fool ourselves now).
Are the pro's of this 'new' guy worth throwing away what you and your current boyfriend have built together? If you're wanting a long term relationship... then you're going to have to learn how to deal with temptation --- the notion that the grass is always greener.
If you honestly feel this 'new' guy is a 'bigger, better deal' then you need to break up with your current bf. Yes, you will probably lose him indefinitely... as he will move on to someone else, but that's the risk you take.
So is this guy really good enough to leave your bf for him? If he isn't... then don't act on impulse -- learn to say no to temptation then. If he is... leave your boyfriend before you do anything more, and gamble once more at the game of love.
