Stuck in relationship cycle-HELP!
Sat, 01-24-2004 - 12:37pm
I am 25 yrs old and have been with my current boyfriend for the past 5 years! We were best friends before we ended up getting together! We were so much alike! He was the male version of myself!!!! Over the past 5 years, we have grown drastically apart! He has not changed and I have become mature and have certain goals, etc. Our relationship has started to deteriorate instead of grow-it went from him sleeping over my house every night to me seeing him maybe 1 time a week!

I have found myself interested in another guy (who is also in a relationship!) This to me is a red flag because during my past 5 year relationship, I have never really looked at other guys.

I have tried talking to my boyfriend about our situation and the way I feel and we end up getting into a big fight, breaking up, but we are back together EVERY TIME!! I feel like I am in a relationship circle! HELP-Any advice?
