SHORT HISTORY MEN AREN'T CARS, YOU CAN'T ROAD-TEST THEM BEFORE YOU SWAP. I have been with my boyfriend since we were teens, but recently I met a bloke who I fancied. Me and my boyfriend own a house, so breaking up would be difficult. But I was considering dating the other guy. Before I made this desicion I realize we lost trust from each other and sadly thihgs will never be the same again I mean as best friends ! Let's put this in another way, Would you all think that it was alright if my boyfriend starting dating other women before he made a decision whether to stay with me or not. I know men aren't like cars, I know that, I can't road test them before I swap ! I must forget the hassle of breaking up, and to asked myself, it is just the shared Mortgage that is holding me back to be with him ? NO I truly believe my realtionship has run its course that I owe it to my long term boyfriend to be honest with him. It hurts sometimes to beleive I've lost my best friend but probably for the good and not for the worst. I feel good when I think about it, for the small things I did for him back in September and now,without hurting him hope he thinks is for the good becouse the worst could of happened later. I would like to send my big thanks to all my friends who had helped me to get throught with my desicion.
