Time to call it quits? Right person wrong time?

[tooyoungforMN]

I have been with my bf for 3 years now, been together since we were 15 and things lately for me feel different. I don't feel as excited by him, I am a moody pain in the bum around him but i still love him....?

Because we have been together for so long I feel like i am missing out/missed out on being able to have my freedom and experiment, but the thought of him being with someone else makes me sick, and I love him so deeply, he is my best friend as well as lover.

Yet lately I've been crushing on someone else at work, had multiple dreams over him and he is all i think about i feel disgustingly guilty about it but I can't help it what do i do?!

?? This is my first post, not sure if it's up? Need advice :(

I think it's quite natural to want to explore and experience different things with different people. You're still very young (18?) to be tied into your first long-term relationship.

However, there's no easy way to say it but you owe it to your BF to be honest with him. And there will be hurt and upset on both sides if you decide to split. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is. I think if you're feeling this way after 3 years, you're probably with the wrong person.

Let him down gently. Just be kind to each other. Then enjoy your freedom.
