Dear Steve,

I’ve been dating my high school sweetheart for about six years. We’ve both gone through ups and downs, done the long-distance thing, dealt with trust issues, and I even forgave him for being with another girl and lying to me about it while he was traveling abroad. However, recently I have been feeling less interested in continuing this relationship. He really hurt me when he cheated and I feel like I can pinpoint that as the moment our relationship began to go south. I think I want to end things.

My friends tell me I should because I’ve never experienced anything other than him and I just don't seem happy anymore. I tell them it's complicated because I feel happy when I am with him. I tormented myself about breaking up with him because we have been dating for six years and he helped me through my grandmother's death and my mom's cancer, and he's such a sweet and caring person. He constantly tells me how much he loves me but I see him more as a friend now. I know when I end things romantically, the friendship will end, and I think that's why I’ve postponed it so much.

I am terrified about making the wrong decision and possibly losing my boyfriend and best friend all at the same time. I am moving next month to a new place and I feel like if I am going to do it, it should be now, but I am still conflicted. Am I making the wrong decision about ending something with someone who really loves me? Should I give it more time?

– Done?
