Hi and welcome
Ok. If you decide to break up with your boyfriend please, please, do it face to face. No text, no phone call, no fb.
It is hard but its an honorable way to let him down with the least hurt.
There is no reason to mention the other guy, that would hurt him more. Tell him there is nothing wrong with him and that you dont feel right with it continuing but want to stay friends.
Good luck. Be brave and brief.

hello Solaris, welcome to the site.
Goodness me you're only young and there will always be someone else you like more than your b/friend, until you settle down, so do what your heart tells you to do, because if you don't then you will never be happy and always thinking of 'what if', just make sure that he has the same intentions before you do anything, but it's never a good idea to have two b/friends in toe, that's when it becomes too confusing for all. Geoff.

thank you, I've been trying to figure out what to say and I've finally gathered up the courage to tell my boyfriend i don't want to be in a relationship anymore and finally know what to say. my boyfriend already knows i talk to the other guy but doest know i have feelings for him, and i know he'll find out sooner or ;after cause we all go to the same school. but anyway I'm gonna talk to him tomorrow. so wish me luck
