Your Question
I am in love with two boys. I have an amazing boyfriend and we love each other more than words can say. But recently another lad came in my life and hes amazing too. We’re good mates and like to hug and stand with our arms round each other. Me and my boyfriend have been going out for nearly 5 months now but I have liked this lad for 2 months and I think my boyfriend suspects something. Him and the other guy are good mates too. But, this other guy has now got a girlfriend who I am quite friendly with and they have started hanging round near where me, my boyfriend and our friends hang around and every time I look over there it feels like my heart is breaking. What can I do PLEASE? I think this feeling will end up killing me.. Natalie xoxo
Dr Petra's Response
You’ve a number of choices. You can decide to stay with your boyfriend and forget the other guy – he has a girlfriend now. Or you can tell the other guy how you feel and if he feels the same you can end your current relationships and get together. Or you can end things with your current boyfriend and not see the other guy either.

It is common to fancy someone else when you’re with a boyfriend. It can be really upsetting, but only you can choose what happens next. If seeing this guy and his girlfriend are causing you distress I’d consider trying to see less of them. And if you still don’t feel the same way about your boyfriend it may be kinder to him if you let him go.
