Ask yourself why you’d stay with your current partner. Is it because you love her and think she’s the one to invest all your time in or do you just want to be nice and not hurt her feelings? Gotta listen to your gut but it’s really tough to do so

Respectfully there’s more to unpack here, imo you need to cut off that other person.

My advice: give it a lot of thought, but if you truly believe the new girl would be better for you you should move on and try with her. But remember, the grass always looks greener on the other side

If you care more about your relationship yes. Unfortunately you do need to make a decision here. Just my opinion but based on what I know you can’t have both.

You can control how you act towards others and not be a pos and scum of society

Dude chill tf out, no need for the hate and judgement. You can control how you act but not how you feel; thats why op explained how they felt and asked for advice on how to act

Nothing shitty about being aware of your feelings, something you often have no control over. Think about the last time you found yourself in an unpleasant headspace; did you willingly choose to put yourself there? No. OP is looking for guidance on how to react to a very common feeling, nothing immoral about that.

Cheating is immoral, flirting while in a relationship is immoral. Having feelings of attraction for others isn’t that.

I haven’t done anything yet. If you want details I’ve been with my gf for a year and a half but we’re long distance we go to different colleges and I have this one friend who’s a girl and I’ve known her for like 8 months she’s super nice and smart and funny but I haven’t done anything yet. I’m trying to figure this out I’m not just a horny pos

I say this because *I* was in your position (ish), left her and ended up happier. It didn't work out, but at the end of the day I'm glad I manned up, broke up with her and tried things out with the person I loved more
