Right, i really need some help here!

i am 24 years old and have been in a relationship for 7 years, he was my first boyfriend and i have grown up with him and done everything with him, only trouble is i think i have fallen out of love with him.

I love him but i don't think i am in love with him anymore, he feels more like a brother to me, i absolutely know he is my soul mate, he is my best friend but it feels like that is all he is now, i can't bear for him to touch me intimately anymore as it feels completely wrong!

i have felt like this for about a year and have tried to work it out but it seems to be getting worse. we have bought a house together and live together. we have talked about it and he has said it is because we are both under quite a lot of pressure but to be honest i don't think the stress is having an effect on how i feel. he says he is still completely in love with me and i really don't want to hurt him but i can't help but think that if i stayed with him i would be living my life as a compromise.

i am scared and don't know what to do because i have no previous experience of this, would i be making the wrong desicion to leave him? how do i know for sure?

please help me!!!
