im in love with someone that isnt my boyfriend.

ive been dating my boyfriend justin for 3 years (on and off of course), but EVERYONE knows im only in the relationship for the security. seth is who im in love with…except he lives in utah…far from where i live here in california. seth was a boy who was amazing to me. i still remember the day i first layed eyes on him…i was stunned by his nature. he was really shy, had no friends, and sat alone at lunch. me and old friend devon took him in and he became one of my best friends. we did everything together..concerts, theme parks…everything. suddently, we fell for eachother on december 16th 2005. we found so many similarities in eachother, that we could hardly believe it. for example, my b-day is december 3rd, and his is june 3rd…kinda strange, right? anyways..ever since that day i was in love with him. even when i was with other guys, id imagine myself with seth. i even worked at the same pizza place with him for a while…and every time i saw him, it hurt. it hurt knowing that i once had him, then lost him…it was like i was so close yet so far away. he truly was the only boy who made my heart stop, he was the boy of my dreams. then, in january, 2008…me and my friend tani were sitting at target and began to talk about seth. she knew him from the bus. the pizza place he worked at was just across the street from us, so we had a brilliant idea to see if seth was working: and he was. so, me and tani ate there and kept staring at him, and of course i was blushing like no other…then as we were about to get back into my car, i said “ugh, i still want to see him…” and with that said, tani ran back in the restraunt and told him to come outside. i was embarressed, but after that day, seth and i became close again, and a few months later i FINNALLY got my dream kiss. things got out of hand though…it was me, tani, seth and my other friend mike. we were all so close, till i gave up. me and seth just seemed to be going nowhere cuz we were both so shy, and i yelled at mike and tani cuz i thought they were the reason things were going so bad. next thing i know, im back together with my ex justin and as miserable as ever…ive tried to appologize to mike, but he just says “whatever” and ignores my myspace friend requests. and seth, he ignored both my messages to him (which required alot of “guts” from me). and now hes in utah..im glad i can say tani is my best friend again…but its mike and seth that i miss so bad…I CANT EVEN HAVE A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY BOYFRIEND because of this! everything reminds me of seth, and the memory of him haunts me real bad. i tried to talk to tani, but she thinks im crazy for missing them since they were “*** holes”. i want them back in my life so bad, but i feel like theres nothing i can do. i just want to be able to say that theyre my friends, even if i dont get to really see them…i know this is all so confusing, but could ya help me out? this is really important to me…all i want for christmas is my 2 best friends…

Sorry, but don’t do this to your boyfriend, it honestly isn’t fair to him. Even if it can’t work with Seth, for both your and Justin’s sakes it would be better to just break it off.

the only thing is…seth was my best friend. and if u read what i said about “being with justin for the security” it may help ya out. i love justin, but i still have feelings for seth. i just want to be seths friend again, cuz that means more to me than actually being with him…

Makes sure you have that conversation with Seth the, that just want to be friends. You can always ask Justin for a break just to get your head together. You can tell him that you’re going through some things that you just need to deal with on your own. I had dated my ex for four years, and when I was 17 I had to do the same thing. It helps so much, just to have a little time to yourself and to put things in perspective.

thanks. but im afraid to talk to seth…ive messaged him twice asking him to forgive me and that all i want is his friendship and he never replied. people always tell me “oh well then hes not worth it” but then why do i feel like he is? its getting worse, and im afraid to say anything like that to justin cuz hes overly sensitive. :/

I know it’s hard and there seems like a lot of barriers preventing you from doing things you know need to get done, but you just have steel yourself and get them over with.

And as for your friends thinking, “he’s not worth it” I know how that goes. If he’s important to you, make sure he knows that. But you can only do so much, as for the rest of it, you gotta leave it up to him.

Look girl, you gotta let your boyfriend go. He deserves a girl that truly love him. Not one that’s using him for security. Sorry.

Regardless of where the other guy lives.
You are not in love with your boyfriend.
So you should not be with him.

Someone once said that insecurity and the great unknown are the best kind of security you can ever have.

There is life in uncertainty
Certainty is boredom, stagnation, and entropy!
