Is My Boyfriend Just A 'Habit'?


Submitted by: Kristy

Q - Dear Annabelle,
My name is Kristy and I am 23 years old. I have been in a relationship for almost seven years with my boyfriend whom I have known since we were about eight. In the past I have broke up with him and dated other men. And somehow we always come back to each other.

Recently we have moved about 1200 miles from where we are both from for work. We have been here about two months and things have been a little rough lately. I find myself wanting to be with other men. I have had these feelings before. I don't know if I love my boyfriend or is it just a habit being with him for so long? How do you know? In the past when I felt this way we broke up. But then within the year we were back together.

A - Dear Kristy,

You donāt tell me how old you are, however, from what you do tell me, it does sound as if this is just a pleasant Īhabitā. While this is not a bad thing, if you find that you do want to be with other men, then in fairness to BOTH of you, be honest, not only with yourself, but with him.

Sometimes we use people to avoid the pain of being alone.........and learning to be Īaloneā is one of lifeās most important lessons.
