confused doesn't explain it., the new guy. Options

alright, straight to the point.

i've been going out with my boyfriend for a year and a half now. things have been a rollercoaster; fights, make-ups, etc. i love him, i do. he makes me happy, but when i tell him his faults and right-from-wrong, he does the same thing over again. it drives me crazy. i feel like i often have to babysit him and to make it short, i feel as if our relationship isn't to its full potential.

but he is a great guy, overall.

then there's this new guy that comes along. smart, responsible, VERY POLITE, and knows how to hold himself. i've been talking to him A LOT; around early night to 1 or 3 am, for almost a week.

there was this blurry moment where we confessed to each other that we thought about being together. but of course, with his decency, he won't go forth with it.

now it bothers me so much. i enjoy talking to this new guy and i haven't really been into my boyfriend recently.

so this is the point where i ask myself who do i consider? or better yet, what should i do about all this?

Well...all relationships have problems. Especially when you've been with someone for such a long time...some of their faults just seemed to irk you to no end.

Your boyfriend sounds immature. Very very immature. How old are you guys anyway? If he's in a relationship with you, I'd expect him to be slightly more mature.

I say don't do anything with the new guy yet. Wait it out and see what happens. If your boyfriend doesn't change, and still won't listen to you or anything, then try taking a break with him and see.
