I recommend not throwing away a loving stable relationship for the exciting unknown, because odds are you will end up with neither

this happened to me and i was sooooo confused about what to do but eventually i waited things out and i ended up losing feelings for the other person. my advice is to hold onto what you have (if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!) because sometimes the feeling of having a new crush is so exciting but remember you have everything you were looking for right beside you ❤️

You need to stop the pattern before it begins. If you go for the current crush, you’ll eventually get bored and then do it again. If you truly love your boyfriend you need to cut off wandering thoughts entirely. Don’t ruin something good for a passing interest. Feel grateful that you are in a relationship with someone you love and who loves you. If it takes writing out all the things you love about him and all the things you love about your relationship, do it.

I feel similar. Whenever my boyfriend uses phrases like "forever" and "the love of my life" it makes me uncomfortable even though our relationship is fulfilling currently and I love him dearly. I don't understand how he's 100% certain about marrying me someday while I have no clue where my life is going or how I'll change in the next decade. Another person may seem more appealing at times because they don't carry the same pressure of attachment. Still, I don't see it as a reason to break up.
