    Should I leave my boyfriend for another guy?
    I have a major problem, my boyfriend of 3 years is amazing but has really become boring. He fights with me if I buy airtime cause he wants to know why do I have the airtime. It feels like I am married already and that's not floating my boat.

    So recenlty we met new friends and there is this one guy, AWWW he grabs my attention he is everything I am looking for.

    I want the other guy but in the process don't want to hurt my boyfriend. What do I do? I am going to loose it, the stress is killing me. Should I follow my head that is saying that I should stay with my boyfriend, or should I follow my heart that is wanting this other guy?

    HELP PLEASE!!

    I think you should follow your heart. No matter how nice your boyfriend is, if you are not truly happy in the relationship, they that's not fair to you or him. And a clue to whether you are happy or not is that you found some interest in someone else. Think of it this way, if you think of a perfect future, do you see yourself with him or do you see yourself with someone else. And an other good clue is to think : if he broke up with you today, how would you feel? If your first reaction to that thought is "good at least i dont have to hurt him" then there is your answer. Hope this helps.

    Thank you, finally someone listens to me.. I can see a future with him but I am only 21 this year and was brought up in a very strict home I haven't experienced the world on the outside yet. Is it wrong to not ask him to wait but hope that one day we might be together?

    The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence is a old story. You are bored and want new and exciting, after a few years it will happen to the new,

    What have have you done to try and make it work with boyfriend?

    But you break up with boyfriend and hope new guy works out, or you just move on

    To be honest I was an only child and brought up in a strict way too so I know what you mean. The thing is you can't force him to wait, but if he really does love you he'll accept you as you are and respect your parents even if he doesn't agree with their strict ways. It's okay for him to be upset at certain situations and I'm sure you will be just as upset as him, but if he starts getting angry at you for the way your parents think then he isn't being fair to you because it puts you in a position between your family and him and he shouldn't make you choose.

    If you are unhappy in your present relationship, let it go, but don't do it because you have a itch for someone you don't really know. That is foolhardy.
    Why don't you just be single for a while.

    He used you and you let him do it. Maybe learn from this and respect yourself more... don't be jumping on the first guy to pay attention to you.

    Harshness Warning

    Why are you mad at him for what you both did? What did you expect he was going to do after doing the deed? Maybe him, and your ex set you up.

    What you think guys don't talk behind girls backs?? They were friends after all. You dumped your ex because he was boring, so look well before you leap next time.

    "One thing led to another", and "before you knew it", are but OLD excuses for doing the wild thing. In truth you both got wild together.

    So much for following your heart, or anything else other than your brain.

    What happened to being single for a while?
    Basically you got what you asked for, and were used.
    Yes he is a jerk, but if he had a girlfriend and carried on like that with you, then you should have known that.
    To add to Fr Chucks saying.
    The grass IS always greener on the other side of the fence, until it's time to do the yard work.
    There is no reason to be angry and call anyone and tell them off, drop it and move on.

    You are not a child. One thing led to another because you let it.
    You left your boyfriend for his best friend so don't get pissed at him cause he now has a girl friend. What you did wasn't much better.
    Did you expect he would chose you after what you did to his friend?

    I feel so sorry for your ex, not so much for you, I guess it became boring because of communication problems but you falling in love so quickly is just a disrespect to what you and your ex had and let me guess you want your ex back?
