sprint Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Here's my story...I'm a 24 year old college student and I live with my girlfriend of 7 years who is also attending the same school. She is my first girlfriend/sexual partner and I am not her first. For the past year or so, my curiosity of other girls has gotten greater and greater. I do love my girlfriend, but I feel like we are a boring married couple. We are very comfortable together to the point of where I'm feeling bored and wondering if she's the right one. I feel like I can't know since I've never dated anyone else. Well, about 2 months ago, I met a girl in class that I really liked. At first I had no intentions of developing anything with her more than just a class buddy. But as time went on, I really started to like her. At this point I decided I needed to have a talk with my girlfriend. I did not want to cheat on her since I know how it feels (she cheated on me a few years ago). She was taken by surprise and was hysterical when I told her that I had lost an important connection with her. The feeling is really strange for me because I do love her, but I feel that I need to explore to be able to know for sure that she is the "one." Anyways, after talking with her, I decided it would be best if we took a break for a bit. She of course did not like this, but I felt it was best for me. I started talking to the girl in my class and we exchanged phone numbers. She sent me a text that next weekend and invited me out to a bar. I went and had a couple drinks and long story short we ended up hooking up. I started talking with her more and more as time went on and we hung out several more times. All along though, I had a sick feeling in my stomach because I felt like I was sneaking around and I knew my girlfriend was devastated. I ended up telling the other girl that I lived with my girlfriend and we were on a break. At that point she didn't want to be involved (which is completely understandable). Fast-forward to now. Me and my girlfriend mended things for now. I still have many mixed emotions and feel like we just covered up the issues instead of resolving them. I also cannot stop thinking about the other girl. She was absolutely beautiful and fun to hang out with and I felt like we had a connection. Unfortunately the timing was horrible and now I'm left with the feeling of what if. I really do not know what to do. I'm in a lease with my girlfriend until the end of May (when I graduate). Any advice right now would be greatly appreciated. These emotions are confusing for me and I don't know if they're justified or not or if I'm just being a total douche. Thanks.
