Hello,
I have been in a relatively healthy relationship with my girlfriend for about two and a half years and we are evidently in love. We have established a connection that I could easily convey and say is rare and special. We have gotten along flawlessly for a long time, but starting several months ago, we have not been doing so great. Divergent events transpired between us, which caused us an unbelievable amount of stress. But in the end, we managed to pull ourselves through and fix what ever happened.
However, I have developed feelings toward another woman, who I have known for about a year. I am very much attracted to her and I could undeniably say that I do love her more than an average friend. We were brought reasonably close because of a theater production we were in; where we played two individuals who fall for each other.
Ever since, we have engaged in numerous noteworthy conversations, developed inside jokes, worked on many school projects, trust and care for each other, and we have played pranks on a friend. We playfully touch each other from time to time, such as she touches my arm or she wraps her arms around mine.
I recently helped organize and set up a surprise birthday party for her with her family and from the moment I met them, I felt as if I knew them perfectly and we belonged because we hit it off so easily from the start. I can also suspect that she has similar feelings toward me, but will not continue any further because I am in a relationship.
Now to cut to the chase: I am torn apart between what I should do. Who should I choose? This has been circulating through my mind endlessly and I have lost sleep over this situation. I passionately care and love my girlfriend, but at the same time, I feel as if we are falling out of love. However, my feelings are getting stronger and stronger toward the other individual as time escalates and it is honestly making me sick.
I do not know who to choose because my girlfriend and I have engaged in activities that have brought us unbelievably close and we have made certain promises. I know she would be devastated and fall apart if I broke up with her for another woman, but I know I will remain lovesick for the other woman.
Please help me because I do not know what to do. Thank you so much, much appreciated.
