Dear Anyone,
I have been with my boyfriend for four an a half years. The first two years were wonderful but the last two and a half have been rocky. Lately it seems like we have nothing in common. He doesn't have a job and I work full time and money is always a problem for us. To me, you have to work hard in life to get ahead and have nice things, to him he sleeps till noon and plays video games and cleans the house a couple times a week. I feel like I have devoted part of my life to him and that it is time to take our relationship to the next level. His response is to laugh and tell me he's not ready for that and it will be a long time until he is. The other part of the problem is another guy. This other guy and I have a lot in common. We've known each other a little over two years and were really close friends. He and I share the same feelings towards each other except when it comes to my boyfriend. He thinks I should end things and be my own person. My best girlfriend tells me the same. I don't know what to do. I love my boyfriend but I feel like he doesn't know what he wants and until then we shouldn't be together. My probem is part of me is terrified to lose him.
