Hey guys,
I need some advice from people outside of the situation. I feel like I'm in over my head. Sorry for the long explanation.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and a half. Generally we're good together - we're friends and have a lot of common interests. We try to make time for each other - as we work opposite shifts. We're even planning on moving in together within the next year. I do love him, but I'm beginning to think it isn't as much as he loves me. We both don't want to get married - but his anti-romantic nature is beginning to bother me.
I had started having some small doubts - but I pushed them into the back of my mind. He drinks a lot - he does it on his days off, which is whenever I see him. He says he doesn't have a problem, and that he used to drink much more.
We just went on vacation together and it went really well. I think I see us as friends that are really attracted to each other. I just don't know where it's going.
Other problem:
I started a new job back in August - it has it's good and bad parts (that is for another board). I did notice there was a cute guy that worked in a different section of my team. On Halloween, we dressed in a group costume. The cute guy took some pictures, edited them to make them spooky, and e-mailed them to the team. I replied and said that I liked what he did with the pictures - and this began a discussion that hasn't stopped yet.
We evolved from e-mailing, to iming and taking walks during our lunch breaks. WE have a lot in common as well. Similar movies, music, etc. He has called me "cute" - but he isn't overly going after me. He knows that I have a boyfriend. We chat every day, and just before he left today, he gave me his number. I'm pretty sure he's in to me, but being cautious because of my situation.
He is divorced, and has a 6-year-old son on the weekends. I'll admit, I have never wanted children - but this guy seems like an amazing father.
The difference: My boyfriend is almost 30, I'm 27, and the new guy is 35 with a 6-year-old.
I don't know what my next step should be.
