How happy is "happy" enough?

Question - (5 June 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 6 June 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have been with my partner for almost six years. We live together and when we are not at work we spend all our time together. I love being with him and I know that we will have a long, happy life together. But over the last few years, I have been wanting to be single again. He was my first boyfriend and I feel that I have missed out on the fun, dating part of life. When I first had these feelings, we talked about it, but I havent brought it up recently because I don't want him to think I don't love him. I've found myself flirting with other guys, but I don't think I could live without my partner. I just want to know if this is a normal thing to go through in a long-term relationship? We are happy together, so should I just be happy with what we have, or should I jeapordise everything on what might be?

Would you go into a sofa showroom and buy the first sofa you sat on because you found it comfortable without first trying another sofa for a comparison?

If you've had these feelings for a few years then they ain't going to go away. Repress them at your own risk. You're young, have fun whilst at the same time getting it out of your system. You may meet your soul-mate, you may wind up back with your ex a few months later and realize how good he is and be truly happy because you can appreciate him more... who knows? :) but it'll be fun finding out now won't it!

Best of luck :)

If you find yourself wanting to be single again then maybe single is what you should be. Don't stay with someone because it is safe.
