Am I staying with him for the wrong reasons?

A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

I feel like I'm staying with my boyfriend for the wrong reasons. We get on well and do love each other but I found out before Christmas that he slept with someone when we had just started out seeing each other and weren't yet official and I think this has ruined it for me.

I feel bored with him, as he's got no job, no money, lives with his dad, and doesn't really have much affection for me either. We never get to have sex. I know he's late 20s, but I'm a 19 year old girl, I need some lovin!!!! This has taken all my confidence away. I don't think I'm pretty or anyone fancies me anymore. He doesn't say nasty things to me, he says I'm beautiful but I'm just not used to this lack of boyfriend/girlfriend attention at all.

I love his family and our arrangement and I feel like this is the only reason I stay, because I don't have a better offer. I know this is wrong but I can't get over how he hurt me and now I'm sabotaging the relationship and causing rows over nothing. Writing this, it seems to stupid, like it's obvious I should leave him!!! But I'm just so confused at the moment. Thanks

i think the thing you need you remember about any relationship is that you need to be happy in it! i think that your staying with your boyfriend because your scared, you said you don't think anyone fancies you?!?! im sure this isnt the case. your only 19 years old, you have your whole life ahead of you, your not happy in this relationship, so i think it's obvious your boyfriend isnt the love of your life. go out, have fun, get that "lovin" you want. you'll soon see that people do fancy you, and you'll soon get back to your old self, if this was meant to be with your boyfriend - then it would be!! rememeber that!!!
