Would the feeling of “I might still be missing out” still be in the back of your mind? Focus on what, or rather who, you have now and really ponder on whether or not the relationship is worth letting go of. Also, it would be helpful to question what happens after meeting someone new. First, have you sat down and really thought about your relationship with your boyfriend? What does this relationship mean to you? How much does he mean to you? As I mentioned before, it’s normal to want to see other people, but it is also important to evaluate why you got into the relationship in the first place.

It is definitely normal to feel like you want something new and exciting. Dedicating yourself to someone for 3 years is a long time and during this relationship, you’ve probably learned each other’s ways and small habits. They can be absolutely amazing, but every relationship experiences hard times. Relationships might very well be one of the most complicated things to deal with in life. No matter what you choose to do, I think the first step should be to analyze why you might want to see other people and then take it from there. If you genuinely think that you may be happier with another person or that your current relationship is no longer making you happy, then I would consider talking to your boyfriend and voicing the fact that you are interested in seeing other people. In these cases, if you still are truly in love with your boyfriend and enjoy being with him, I urge you to maybe try spicing up your relationship before cutting things off with a guy you think is great. Also, after a couple of years together with someone, you may start to get a little bored because you think you’ve learned everything there is to learn about your significant other or that you’ve tackled every exciting relationship milestone.

When you’re in a long-term relationship and you see your friends entering into new and exciting relationships, you can feel sort of jealous.

Are some of your friends entering new relationships? Has your relationship fallen into a routine that isn’t as exciting as it used to be? If you answered yes to either of the questions, I can understand where you’re coming from. Let me start by asking why you might feel like you are missing out on something. That’s a solid amount of time! It’s great that you care about him and it’s also great that you’ve acknowledged the fact that there might be something that you’re missing out on (many people in stable relationships might be afraid to acknowledge that). Hi there! First off, let me just say congrats on finding a great guy and making it work for 3 years. Don’t worry too much about letting a good person go it doesn’t matter how great he is if the relationship’s not working out for you. What do you think you’re missing out on? I would recommend thinking hard about what you feel you’re missing from your life and what you want–is it something you can get in your current relationship? Is the reason you’ve started to wonder about other options because you’re genuinely curious, or because there are issues in your current relationship? If it’s the latter, are these problems solvable or not? If you feel like you’re forcing yourself to stay in this relationship, then you should definitely end it, because it’s not fair to you or your boyfriend. He’s great but I’m starting to wonder what I may be missing out on. My boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for almost 3 years and even though I really care about him, I think I’m interested in seeing other people.
