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?

[heytherekiddo]

me consider both wasn't a selfish question.
maybe it sounded selfish to you.

maybe i should mention this but, there is a lot of communication between him and i.
a year worth of talking out problems, his and mine, i think i've mentioned the babysitting part.

yes, i've tried everything.
talking it out.
hints.
reverse psychology.

this new guy.
he's not a backup rope.
he just happened to come and made me realize about my relationship more.

i should have also mentioned that my boyfriend and i have borken up a few times, due to the same same things.
