writes: I have been in a long distance relationship for about 5 years. I see my girlfriend on the weekends, and we both love each other very much.Recently my girlfriend was away for a few months, and while she was gone I developed feelings for someone I work with. This is the first time in our relationship that this has ever happened to me and is tearing me up.I don't know what to do about these feelings, I've tried ignoring them, but they won't go away, and my girlfriend knows something is up. I'm sure that if I lived with or near my girlfriend that this would matter far less, but the distance and constant travelling has had an affect on me. I hate the effect that this is having on me, and the way it is affecting my relationship.Can anyone offer advice?

 Is there a reason why you live so far away from each other after five years? And why you haven't worked through one of you moving to be closer to the other person? You need to work through what you want and who you want and only you can do that, it is normal to feel an attraction towards someone else we are all only human its what you do with that attraction that makes the difference. You need to think about if you still love you girlfriend and that this thing with this other girl is only an attraction or whether your feelings for your girlfriend isn't the same anymore and your feelings for this new person are.
