Should I throw away our relationship for someone that I might not have a chance with?

Question - (26 August 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 26 August 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I started to get close to this guy, I would only see him every couple of weeks but eventually he told me he was falling for me. I was very happy, because I was at last getting somewhere with him.

Then I started hanging out with a friend of a friend. He was really nice, and I tried to make him like me as more than just a friend, he did and now we've been going out for a month. But I still see the first guy around town, and I still think about him, more than I probably should. I can't help but wonder if it would have worked out between us.

I'm happy spending time with my boyfriend, but more so if we're out, not so much 'alone' time. My boyfriend is caring, loves me so much and wants a long term thing, but I'm still not happy. I know that I shouldn't stay in this relationship, as it's unfair on my boyfriend, but is it really worth throwing this away for something which has slim to no chance of working out?

If I end it, what can I say? I know the truth would be preferable, but it would tear him up even more than it's going to, so is there anything else? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

redshoes83 agony auntI think you should split up with your boyfriend, whether or not you get with this other guy. it doesn't seem like you are that into him. I know what it's like when you are going off someone and the feeling i describe it as 'itchy' like you just dont want to be alone with them or whatever.

i think that is a sure sign. So maybe you wont get with the other guy but at least you wont be unhappy in a relationship you aren't sure about.

good luck missy xx
