I have feelings for someone else, should I tell him?

So....I.have felt unsure about my relationship for at least 6 months now (on and off for longer). Weve been together 4 years. Hes always had a lower sex drive than me, which I respect but sometimes it feels like physically he is pushing me away. Doesnt have time for cuddles or being intimate in other ways. Never wants to go on dates. Also hes very inflexible and I feel its always me making sacrifices eg moving to be close to his family, not taking a job offer because he thought he would never see me. We are discussing our problems.
I met someone a few months ago who I have real chemistry with. At first not sexual but my feelings for him are growing over time. We text eachother pretty much every day and have met up a few times (altho we always invite other friends so not just us). I am seriously considering telling the.guy my feelings. He is single and I am worried I mite loose him to someone else (I know thats crazy). The only person I have spoken to about this is my mum who said she likes my current bf but thought I mite be happier with someone else! Should I cut my losses and tell him or try and work it out with current partner?

Sounds like you're unhappy.. I'd move on.

Your relationship sounds like it is in trouble, and you would probably be happier away from him irrespective of if the other man is around or not.
The other man may feel the same about you - sounds like a possibility - in which case he might be quite happy to wait for you. It's better to break up with existing partner before making a move.

Move on.

So you're too immature to deal with your current relationship problem and have little respect for your boyfriend?

You're hedging your bets and lining up someone else?
I've got no time for ppl who do this.
It's hurtful to your current partner and you should at least have the courtesy to speak with him before having an emotional affair.

If you're feeling meh about the current bf, it's not fair to string him along. It doesn't sound as though you're suited anyway, either sexually or emotionally. If the potential bf really is interested, he'll wait.
