End relationship if younger boy is more appealing
THIS WEEK'S PROBLEM: My boyfriend and I have been together for the past six months. Now I feel like our relationship has come to a standstill. I met a new person and I really like him. ... He's got all good qualities except he's younger than me. I've never talked to a younger guy. My current boyfriend is older than me and he's got this thing in his head where he's not going to let me go and he always finds a way to persuade me to stay with him. I don't know how to end it, but I want to. Should I start a relationship with the new boy?
