 Friendship is enjoying someones company and sharing interests and time together.
Partners are people that want the same as friends with the attraction and stronger feelings and of course a sexual side to this.
You need to work out what you feel and want from him and go from there, do you still love him as a boyfriend and want to be with him intimately as a boyfriend?
A
reader, anonymous, writes (27 September 2006): This, I think, is a very tough questions. They say in the
original "Sex and the City" book that one trouble was
that sexual relationships turned into friendships due
to a lack of ROMANCE. Sometime people marry purely for
companionship, and there is little romance. Sometimes
people are married for four years and suddenly
fall in love!

Friends are people who care about each other and rely on each other for support, but don't take each others pants off as a rule. Lovers are friends first but share a sexual relationship that adds a whole different dimension to the relationship and makes it unique from every other relationship in your life. Four years is probably longer than you need to move your relationship into marriage, maybe it is time to have that talk and make your exit so that you can find a more serious relationship that you want.
