We have great sex regularly and on the outside we seem like such a perfect couple. I really like his family and have became good friends with his mum and dad and his brothers. We come from the same small rural village and it is quite a close knit community. More than anything this guy is so perfect. He never seems to do anything wrong and is so nice to me. We have become so close and are very best friends. Before we started going out I always got lots of attention from other guys. I still do but now obviously I have to ignore them. I miss being single and having the fun I used to have. I’ve told my boyfriend this before but it absolutely broke his heart and I never raised the issue again. I’m not sure whether I really want 2 be in such a serious relationship with him anymore but I also don’t think I could live without him in my life! What should I do? I don’t want to miss out on my youth and meeting new people. My friends have all drifted apart from me so it feels as if he is the only true friend I have! How could I break up with him but still stay friends? I would really appreciate some help!!

I know what you mean about friends drifting apart because of it too, so its hard, do you go back to your friends who you were once really close with? or stay with one person who has been there for you for so long? It doesnt sound like you know for suuuuuuuure if you want to break up with him completely or not. But i think after 2 years of going out and becoming best friends, that things should end in a way that you can still talk and be friends for sure. Tell him how you feel, wouldnt it be best being honest in the long run? He will be upset, but its worse knowing that someone is only hanging on 'to be polite and not to hurt their feelings' if he ever finds out :( or if you do something you regret in the end out of frustration.

Well two years together is a long time for any couple. It is also the crunch time in most relationships.
The first throws of passion have subsided and you've got into a 'routine'. Usually this is the point where most either decide they want to be together and make plans to move in together, marriage etc or split.
In your case your both very young for living together, marriage etc and to be honest you both should be out seeing as much of the world as possible.
You could do this together, take time out and travel around and get casual work to help finance your adventure. Bring some fun back to your lives.
It will either work out or just come to a natural end.My sister married her childhood sweetheart at 20 years old and 27 years later there still together and very happy.
