Which is "right"? Head or heart?

    So.. Here’s how the song goes.

    I had been in a serious relationship with my boyfriend for almost two years. When it started out we were very in love with each other; we had made plans for the future, we wanted to get married one day once we were both out of college.

    Lately, copious amounts of drama amid all our lifelong friends (none having to do with us, thankfully) and the struggle of life, itself has left me, personally, feeling completely crumbled. This fear of losing more people I care about has made me really hesitant to love anyone past a certain point because I’m scared I’ll lose them too once I do. I know I “shouldn’t let fear rule my life”, and all that jazz but the fact is that this is how it is right now and that’s a whole ‘nother conversation..

    Anyway, long story short, I don’t know if its this fear eating away at my love for my boyfriend or the simple possibility that I’m just not “feeling it” anymore. He treats me like a queen and adores me (miraculously) and I know that its a very rare possibility for me to find someone else who loves me that much.. Though, I have been talking (friendly chit chat) to a few other guys over the course of this time that somehow get my heart pounding. I don’t want to lead him on if that relationship’s just done with and I don’t want to be stuck with someone forever whom I have very little romantic feelings towards; but at the same time, I don’t want to make a mistake by giving up something that I obviously should be happy with, past my own current struggles.

    We are currently on a “break”.

    For the first time in my life, I utterly do not know what to do.. What is “selfish” and what is “unselfish”? So, I ask you, please. What do you think is the “right thing” in this predicament?

    It sounds like you aren’t into the relationship you’ve had with your college boyfriend of two years, so you’re on a break to test the waters. In response to your question, I don’t think your head and heart are that far apart in this one. It sounds like you’ve lost interest in the relationship, but you really appreciate your boyfriend as a person and because of his interest in you. The thing is….. you can love people, but it doesn’t mean that they’re compatible with you. This is an interesting concept for many people to grasp — that love and compatibility don’t always go hand in hand. I think that you have feelings for your boyfriend, and you appreciate him for a lot of good reasons, but you’re just not ready to be committed to him because you’re not ready for that type of relationship right now. That’s why I think you should let go (breaks are always just the “gateway drug” to break ups), move on, and see what else is out there for you. 😉
