I have been in a serious relationship with my boyfriend for over two years. He treats me great and has all the qualities I want in a boyfriend and husband. Since we left for different colleges, he told me he wants to be with me forever and talks a lot about our future. At first, I agreed with all of his ideas and plans. Now, I am worried that if I do stay with him, when I am older and out of college, I will regret not doing the dating scene and being single for a while. I have found myself thinking about other guys being curious about what it would be like to date them. This would be an easier situation if I was falling out of love with my boyfriend or did not have the same feelings for him, but I do. Advice? Thank you.

It’s always harder to move on when someone is a decent and wonderful person — [i]who is simply not right for you at this time in your life[/i]. Having an incident like cheating or abuse makes leaving someone easier because people feel justified in taking care of themselves. What is harder for you to understand is that staying with someone when you know in your heart that YOU want to experience the world more before committing to any man (not just him), is just as wrong as staying with them for any other reason when you’re incompatible.

Your thought process makes sense and it sounds like this is a good time for a peaceful and heartfelt break up. You need to get on with your own life and free him to do so, as well. If everyone married the first person they dated, there’d be a lot more divorce than there already is. Know yourself and be honest. It’s a good way to live. 😉
