I'm not really looking to find someone for a booty call. I am looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with. I guess my "house mate" with have to deal with being just that because all of you are right I cant cheat the idea makes me sick, however I also dont deserve to be lonely. Thank you guys for making everything clearer. I have asked for attention the last two years of our relationship and the bad times out weigh the good. It is time to find someone who wants to spend time with me and not a video game.

Look honey, you don't have to stay with him! If you're really that unhappy and he is really not that bothered, then maybe a break will do you both a world of good?

Tell him that either the relationship improves or you have to leave it.

reader, anonymous, writes (17 June 2008): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionOk I have talked to my boyfriend for months about being lonely. He said that he just wants to play video games and go do whatever he wants. I told him that I wanted to have an affair and he told me to do whatever I need to do. We cant afford to actually seperate and he wouldn't let me leave him anyway. Before I moved in with him he would drive an hour to my house after I would break up with him and knock on my window and would refuse to leave until I was with him again. Since I moved in when I was financially able to leave him I went to my sister-in-laws many times and he would keep calling her and showing up at her house until I came back. Leaving isn't a real choice. The other thing is that he is completely ok with me cheating.

He doesn't sound like a great boyfriend, but you'd be the most horrible girlfriend if you were to cheat on him. Try talking to him about how your feeling... I don't think you should tel him you want to cheat, but you should tell him that you're feeling lonely and that you need a bit more attention.
If you do this and you're still not happy, or if you're not willing to try and fix your relationship by talking to him then you should end it.

Poor guy.

I dont think anyone here is going to give you tips on where to find a guy to have an affair with.
I understand that geting attention from your bf is a very important part of your relationship. However, if you look for that attention outside of the relationship it will not work. It will only ruin your relationship with your bf more. You may be thinking 'well if he doesnt find out, no harm done right?' Well actually yes!!! Because the fact remaains that you are not happy in the relationship and geting that attention from someone else will not take away the pain of not geting it from your bf. And hoenstly, most people are good at suspecting it when their partners cheat.
And what about self respect? And respect for your bf? Dont you have that? Think about how you will feel after. Ashamed and guilty I bet...well I hope so anyway, any decent person would.
Here are your options...
Leave your bf now and find some new guy to give you attention. OR you can stay with your bf, do not cheat and WOKR ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP! If you love him then I would think you would take this choice.
Calmly approach him and tell him how you feel. Careful not to place blame though. Tell him what you need and want out of the relationship and ask him what he needs and wants. Talk about any problems he sees in the realtionship and ask for an explanation as to his behvaiour of not giving you much attention. Has it always been like this? Or just recently?

What a stupid and selfish act.
If you are having enough problems with your boyfriend that you would ACTIVELY LOOK to cheat on him, then just break it off now. What will you achieve by cheating except more problems?
Silly girl.
