Boyfriend? Or his best friend?

Question - (17 August 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 17 August 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, *ehurch writes:

I've been dating this guy for 2 years. We are high school sweet hearts, we went to college together for the first year and decided to stay at home the second year, to save money. At one point of our relationship, I thought this guy was the one for me, but now, I'm thinking otherwise. He always lies to me about silly things, I'm an easy going girl, and I never try to get in his business, but he always breaks promises. But, I still love him. Well, here is the problem: My boyfriends best friend is just like my boyfriend, but smarter, better looking, funnier and all around: A Better Guy!. Me, my boyfriend and his best friend all start to hang out during the summer and, Jake, my Bf's best friend, start to build a strong friendship, and jake and myself become best friends! I start hanging out with Jake more than my boyfriend. After a summer of hanging around Jake, we kiss. I've fallen totally in love with Jake. I want to be with Jake but I can't seem to break up with my boyfriend because I love him too. I mean, I've tried breaking up with my boyfriend but he always seems to convince me to be with him. I'm so confused on what I should do. Help?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (17 August 2009):

You are soooo young and have so much in front of you!! Part of being young is being afraid to be assertive or afraid of taking risks. As you age, you'll find it easier to do with experience.

It'll be hard, but just tell your boyfriend you want to break up. The lies that he tells aren't a good sign and will only turn into something bigger.

Don't bring up the fact that you are into Jake. You aren't married, so you don't owe it to him to tell him. Just break up with your boyfriend, and see what happens later with Jake.
