writes: Dear Cupid,I am currently in a long term relationship, which feels as though it is going nowhere. My boyfriend and I are together because I feel too guilty to leave him.We both live miles away from home, but I have made some great friends, and am enjoying meeting new people. My boyfriend begrudges me going out and we are not getting on, dut to his controlling nature.I have met someone else, from work, its been going on for about 4 months, and going well, except I think I want more than he does. I feel so bad about doing this to my boyfriend and have tried to end the relationship, but he will not accept that it's over.We live together so things are extra hard.I feel like such a bad person, but I just want to be happy and not feel so rubbish all the time.

If you leave, he has to accept it. The reason that he hasn’t accepted it is that you are still there. Start looking for a place today. If you don’t own your home, you can be out within a week if you want to. You both have a life to lead, so put an end to this, and you can both move on.

Maybe the only way to end the relationship then is to leave, he will then have to accept it.
You can't carry on like this it's not fair on either of you especially when you are seeing someone else.
Maybe you should admit to seeing this other guy and then your boyfriend may well decide he no longer wants you in his life anyways.
Take care.xx.
