I agreed, which I really regret now. I no longer feel the same about him. I want to be friends still, but I've fallen for one of my other friends. What can I do? I don't want to hurt him to much, and I don't want to be completely isolated from him. Help! Reply to this Question

Why did you take him back, if you don't feel the same? You need to ask yourself that, and once you find the answer, you need to talk to your bf. You should end things with him, because it's not fair on him. Tell him that you still want to remain friends. If he really likes you, then he should at least try. But if he doesn't, then just give it some time..he may come around, he may not... But just talk to him.

I wouldn't mention to him that you've found someone else, just say that things aren't right etc. which seems pretty clear from the way you've described, although briefly, what sounds like a sinking ship of a relationship. Sometimes breaking up with someone is scary because they become part of your everyday life and routine but you can do it, both you and him will feel a lot better separated where you can move on and find the right people.Just a side note, does your friend know you've fallen for him? Because sometimes I know it can be scary to give up someone for someone else when you're not sure if the feelings will be reciprocated.But even if your friend doesn't feel the same way about you, it sounds like the sooner you end the relationship with your boyfriend the better it will be for the both of you to enjoy your lives and move on.

 You need to stop messing this poor guy around. Leave him and leave him for good. You might break his heart but it happens to everyone. He'll get over it, and you will be doing him a favour in the end because he will find someone better than you for him. Make it quick, clean, and final. Be honest, be kind but don't procrastinate.
