My boyfriend vs my rock

I have been with my bf for like2 yrs and 5 months but for just as long i have been crushing on and having increasing feelings for this other guy who like i grew up with kinda and he is like my bros best friend but he is one of my closest friends to. i kno he likes me quite a bit. i dont kno what to do. he also has a gf but neither of us are happy and are only with them for the contentment. what am i supposed to do cuz i am so confused

If you are unhappy, how can you say you are staying woth someone for contentment? You owe it to the person you are with and to yourself to get out if you are not happy and not to start anything else until you do.

You don't stay with someone just because you are content with them..or just cause they're there. This is quite unfair to your current boyfriend. If you know that you both (your friend and yourself) feel the same way about each other then talk to him about it and be together. What's the point on waisting time on someone else if you know that he's the one you want to be with? That's how I see it. I don't know if there's other factor influencing you or not though.

Good luck! =]

Yeah you obvesly like this guy....u have history and u both agree that you are not happy....tell ur bf that this is the case, n break it off then offer the chance to that guy u like if he wants to go out with you, if not then just go ahead and just let time sort stuff out

If u are with someone u dont honestly want to be with, then dont waste your time..I DID that once, and after i broke up with him i realized that it was the best choice i could make..be with the ONE that u WANT to be with..there are no rules..love who u want to love, because in the end, isnt your happiness all that matters?? :)
take care

What you are all saying is true and makes all the sense in the world i hear it from anyone else i talk to but anyone of u have been in a situation like that know its not as easy as just letting go. me and my boyfriend i dont know how to explain but i have times when i am happy and times when im content times when im loving it and times when all i do is look. and it doesnt help that i am freakishly unstable and have the screwist family life in the world....wait this sounds like crap. i dont know i am so beyond confused. everysince forever its one guy to another and then this one for so long oh my go i am going crazy and my love life just adds on so i seriously just i dunno. im so confused

My family sucked growing up, hell they still suck lol None of them were the poster children for good relationships. You say you like your friend and he likes you, so obviously there is something there. Sometimes you are happy with your bf and sometimes you are not, which is the norm, but if it is pushing you towards someone else, obviously there is something wrong. Your bf deserves honesty and you have to stop and be honest with yourself about what you really want. You both deserve to be happy. Yeah you have been together for a while but that doesn't mean you have to continue to be, sometimes things end, it's not always supposed to be easy.

If you are unhappy then get out of the relationship because not only are you hurting yourself but the person that you are with too. if you are unhappy then I agree with Brit the realtionship is not for you.

Tell me something.. Why the hell do girls think they have any reason to stay with someone if they aren't happy? Even boys. I never understood that.

Why hold onto something that make you unhappy? Are you a masochist emotionally? The unhappiness speaks for itself, kid. Think about it.

Humm.
if you enjoy being unhappy... then by all means, stay with your boyfriend. but i think if you're really actually asking this question then you should already know what would be the happiest solution for you. or like I said, if you prefer being unhappy. you're the only one who can know since none of us are you.
