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

[heytherekiddo]

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?

my rule is that if i have been with a guy for at least a month & i am uncertain about the way things are going & worried that things will not work out in the long run.. theeeeeeeeeeen goooodbye boyfriend? i'm pretty harsh though, as much as i try not to be.. perhaps take a break & hang out with the new guy & see if he meets your standards, etc. [not exactly the greatest plan, but that is what i would do.. ]
