Ciar agony auntLust is for and about you. Love is for and about someone else (in this case your boyfriend).

Don't second guess yourself. If he was the one you wanted to spend the rest of your life with, you'd be certain of it.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (26 September 2011):

Lust within a deep friendship is some form of love.

Many good strong lasting relationships and marriages are between people who are close friends.

Ask yourself what your life would be like without him. If you can't live without him, this is love.

I suggest you follow your gut, if you don't think it's love then don't marry him and you should break it off so you don't have to keep hurting him. Both of you deserve someone who loves them back. So the sex isn't worth hurting this guy.
