I have been going out with my boyfriend for 6 years. He is my first boyfriend, and I am his first girlfriend. I love him very much, and he's crazy about me. The problem is that we don't have anything in common, and while this has never been an issue in the past - it is something that I have been thinking about more and more recently - especially since I started my new job and met someone who shares the same passion and dreams as I do. I am very attracted to this person, and while nothing has or will happen, it makes me yearn for something that is missing in my relationship with my boyfriend. I want to be able to talk to my boy about things that I am passionate about, and while he listens and understands - he doesn't share in it with me. I can't stop thinking about this other guy - and its making things diffiucult because I don't know if its this crush that's making me feel less about my boyfriend, or if its this need for something more in our relationship.

Is is normal to be attracted to other people? Can a relationship survive if two people have nothing in common?

I would be extremely careful about what you do. Don't let a phase ruin something that you have which is so good. Maybe a little diversity is good in your relatinoship? You don't want to date yourself do you?

Its up to you to stay together or not to, but in all fairness something similar to this happened to me (on the other end), and I would have appreciated talking to my ex about it. I think its only fair that you let him know your feeling. Trust me, if you don't, he will feel like he could have done something, but you wouldn't talk to him about it.

Maybe the conversation to lead to you guys doing more things in common, maybe he thinks the same and you don't know... The only way to know is to talk to him about it.

Just make sure you don't decide on a whim :)

It happens it's a phase.. do what your heart tells you to do... be sure... not to hurt or try your best not to hurt him if you want to see what else is out there
