Should I leave my boyfriend of 3 years because he doesn't pay attention to me anymore?

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 3 yrs, we've had our ups and downs and damn near died together in a car wreck but through it all we've managed to stay together, lately I've been feeling lonely and neglected though and I have a male friend that pays attention to me and does the the things I want my boyfriend to do, I don't tell my bf about the things my male friend says because he's the jealous type, I'm not cheating on my bf but the more I talk to my male friend the more I think I should end my relationship with my bf. I'm so confused my boyfriend says that next year after I graduate he wants to get married and move back home but with things the way they are now and me feeling this way I don't know whats going to happen with us. I have thought about ending the friendship with my male friend because it has complicated things and my bf gets pissed off whenever I mention my friends name but I enjoy having him as a friend

    I'm some what in the same situation. I have been with my boyfriend for almost three years and I feel that he hasn't paid enough attention to me, meanwhile a guy that is trying to get with me but I declined of course. Have you talked to your boyfriend about this? If not, you should tell him that it really bothers you and make him know that it is a problem and not just some petty problem that will be over with within a couple of days. My boyfriend hasn't been the same because he works A LOT and is too tired to talk to me when he comes back from work...and because he lives with his GUY friend...and you know two and two guys together are annoying. The only reason why your feelings are geared towards this other guy is because he is giving you the attnetion you want that your boyfriend isn't giving you. Any guy can give that within the first couple of months, so you need to wonder if you're relationship is worth leaving and if you really wanna work it out with your guy.

    Ok first if your boyfriend is the jealous type and hes not paying attention to you anymore most likly hes paying attention to someone else. THe jelous types use that defense so that they can fool around and you wont go anywhere. Stay with your friend why end a good friendship to have a crapy relationship with a guy whos probley cheating on you.

    Keep the friend Ditch the boyfriend

    Please have a frank talk with your boyfriend, if you haven't already. I was just left after three years because of things that I didn't even know bothered him. But, he never told me, and just kept them inside. Giving him the benefit of the doubt this might be the same in your case. If you've already talked to him and are still dissatisfied, then leave. But, because you're asking this question I think you already know the answer. Go for what you know is best for you in the LONG run, don't get married to a man who you are not sure you want to be with. Good luck.

    You shouldn't end your friendship with your male friend because he hasn't done anything wrong. If your boyfriend doesn't pay attention to you, you shouldn't deal with it. Nobody deserves to have a boyfriend or girlfriend that doesn't even pay attention to you. You deserve better. If you were able to get off and get married then your marriage wouldn't last that long.

    well girl seems like you got some thinking to do.

    i dont want to tell you what to do but i can help you alittle. if you really love your bf then stay with him but if you are catching feelings for your male friend and thinking twice about your relationship then dont hesitate to end things and be friends maybe he'll realize what he missed out on.. or for a scecond opinion let your bf know how you feel obviuosly you two have somthing make it work but most importantly be happy with your decision..

    GOOD LUCK!!

    You should tell your bf how you feel if he continues to neglect you, leave him. I would recommend you to do this only if you love him and want to be with him, but if that is not he case, leave him, I am sure your male friend will be a better companion than your current bf is!

    i wouldnt break up with him hunny i would just talk to him and tell him how you feel this is just one of them patches in a relationship one of them ups and downs so yeah talk to him tell him that you feel lonely and feel like he doesnt pay enough attention to you but dont compare him to your male friend thats one of the worst things to do. go somewhere with your boyfriend have a nice day out with him to clear both your minds im sure both of you will feel much better

    good luck

    whoa whoa whoa... MARRIED? Are you kidding me? Don't throw your life away already! Leave him, or say that you want to see other people for just a little bit. If you really want that friend, then you should go out w/ him. Seems like he likes you. Otherwise, go out and have FUN! There's plenty of other fish in the sea.

    If he's jealous, invite the guy friend over before he gets home and be caught flirting and stuff with him so he will get jealous and pay more attention!

    If you love your boyfriend, I wouldn't leave him. If you leave him you might blow ur chances of marriage with the one you truly love. If ur bf is talking abt marriage then he obviously DOES care about you...just maybe talk about things with him and tell him how much u like it when he's romantic etc.....
