I understand this sub is more related to questions for sex, but i always come across wonderful advice here so i guess i want to ask about my relationship.
My 2 main questions:
1. How do you rekindle a long-term relationship to have that new and giddy feeling again?
2. What do you do about developing feelings for someone else?
I’m 20F bi in a relationship with my gf 20F bi for about 2.5 years now.
For about a year now, both of us have always been really busy with our own stuff with school and rarely have time to go on dates, and we don’t have sex often either, because we both live with family. We try to text and call more often but it just doesn’t feel like enough for either of us.
I’ve just started university, and on my dorm’s floor i’m friends with a girl 19F bi (Lets say her name is Tara) on exchange from the US. she is only temporarily here and she would be leaving 2027 April when her exchange year ends.
We are in a friend group with a few other girls on my floor and sometimes hangout together to get coffee, dinner in our hall, drinks together and join resident activities like sports and art.
I have no intentions to, but I’ve started having a ‘crush’ on Tara, and I hate myself for it. She’s so incredibly smart, funny and bright, and I sometimes think about fucking her, kissing her body. And sometimes i feel so nervous around her, and wish she would text me more, and I wish i could have her.
I can’t understand why it started, and I wish it would go away. And I don’t intend to tell Tara, because I don’t want to ruin our friendship group, and she eventually will leave when her exchange ends.
I don’t wish to tell my girlfriend either, her ex-gf cheated on her at a party, and she has trust issues since then.
I am asking this sub because I have no one to tell this to, because i feel so ashamed and guilty. I love my girlfriend incredibly much, and I do not want to hurt her at all. And I don’t know what to do.
and i guess i am afraid of the answer: Of course everyone in my gf’s position would want to break up with me, because I am thinking of someone else. But i’d like to know if there is any possibility of fixing my feelings or my relationship.
i’m using a throwaway account because this is something i hate about myself right now
I just wanna know if anyone else has dealt with this problem, on either side of the story. Thank you
