BellyDancerAme agony auntI think the main problem here is that when going out with you boyfriend you may have cut off one of your best friends. i had exactly the same problem at around the same time in my relationship, as prior to going out with my boyfriend i had chatted regularly with one of his friends and at one point i did question whether i should be with him.

I also feel that after 2 years the relationship can seem quite serious and doubts often happen and you wonder "what if" but it passes i have been going out with my boyfriends now for 3 1/2 years and i went through exactly what you did but all i did was treat it as a crush. i told myself that deep down all i was interested in was my boyfriend and that came out true.

The best thing for you to do is just see it as a crush or a passing fancy. it will soon go and you will realise how much happier you are with your current boy friend.
