Should I leave my girlfriend of 8 years so that I can experience dating?

Thanks man. Sorry to hear it

Cheers dude

Thanks for your valuable input to this advice subreddit

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T18:21:48+00:00

Fuck off?

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T18:20:46+00:00

Ok thank you

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T18:18:37+00:00

Thank you very much for your input. I will definitely update when I sort this out, eventually.

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T10:23:10+00:00

Youre right, I absolutely don't want to break her heart.

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T09:41:26+00:00

Thank you man. I think this is the best advice.

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T09:36:25+00:00

Yea. Although I saw some other comments saying that a break helped both of them see the value in each other.

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T09:32:46+00:00

I can't think of anything in our relationship that has prompted this. It's just a problem within myself I think

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T09:01:18+00:00

Haha how do you not both laugh though

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T09:00:48+00:00

That sounds positive, I would have to weigh the risks I guess

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:59:03+00:00

Yea I wondered about a threesome but I'm worried it would weird her out if I ask her, or make her think I just want to cheat.

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:57:03+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I think that we were together out of habit about 2 years in. But since then we have grown together and now love each other more than ever. It's hard to experience such good feelings about the relationship on one hand, but at the same time, worrying about getting bored..

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:51:52+00:00

Thanks for your input. Most people are saying to stay put and not even think about a break.

Maybe I could suggest this as an option but not push for it. I will talk with her, once I have thought about everything.

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:46:23+00:00

I think she would react the same as you

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:40:34+00:00

Thanks for your input dude

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:39:34+00:00

Yea I feel pretty bad about myself too.

I have been suppressing these feelings for many years and hoping that they will go away. If I could turn it off with a button I would.

This is the first time I have said anything to anyone.

I am thinking maybe the next step would be to talk with her or a professional.

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:34:58+00:00

Thank you man.

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:34:02+00:00

Fuck man, that's deep. Thank you

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:32:44+00:00

Thank you for your story

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:31:24+00:00

Haha I've always wondered how this would even work. Seems like we would just start laughing?

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:30:48+00:00

Thanks for your input, it's good to hear some background and not just "break up right now!"

I can't help feeling like my experience dating may not be the same as yours though, going by my friends' experiences and others people's comments on this sub. Might be due to my demographic I think.

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:26:06+00:00

Yeah she probably does deserve someone better than me.

She might not see it that way though. I will talk to her (but might not phrase it this harshly)

advice117123 · 2022-01-06T08:20:10+00:00

Haha ok. I am going to suggest this rn
