Normal 7 year relationship??

I'm beginning to think if my long term relationship is normal?

We got together young I was 19 he was 21 now 7 years in, we have no children and are not married, I quess we have been coasting along... We have had some downs this past year or so over him spending time with me ( he was always in his man cave gaming) and would go through months of arguments, and I kind of feel we was living seperate lives, going bed different times/eating kinda turned into roomates. We both still love each other and want to make it work ( he is being more attentive and making the effort) we still have a laugh/ and sex around twice month. We don't have as much in common as I would want, sometimes I find him boring?? To make matters worse I have began have a huge crush on a man at work I know he likes me to and has started texting me. I'm trying shake the feelings but can't get them go away. I wouldn't cheat but I'm enjoying fantasising/ imaging a life with him??
Is this a 7 year itch? I'm happy with boyfriend just think is this it forever?? I'm comfortable with him and still look forward spending time together, we watch TV together and enjoy eating out/shopping but have no real common hobbies? I don't really know what I want back as a response... Just voicing my thoughts 🧡 maybe like hear what others lives are like ?

Name changed to roll this one out again?
Stopped sexting the chap at work?
Not in a tizz anymore?
Is this a project to see if using slightly tweaked details gives you different responses?

Sounds like your relationship has run its course. You were young when you got together.

There is more out there if you are bored with him. Do the decent thing and call it a day. Then explore what the next stage of life has for you.

You can leave without a relationship being terrible. Relationships do just run their course sometimes without any big fall outs or one party being terrible. End it as mates and Leave before you bring children in to this.
