Help! Honest opinions please!?
I've been in a relationship for 5 years, it's a very stable, very secure relationship with a nice house, nice cars 3 cats, both have good jobs, nice friends, but no passion .... we never argue, we never have any, ahem 'extra curricular' acivities, but we do get along really well. I've never been tempted to cheat before, but recently i've met a guy who is the most attractive, most exciting person i have ever met ... do i give up everything i've got for a chance of having the passionate relationship i've always dreamed of? .... :(

staying were you are is safe and comfy. but passion is bliss, I was told in this same situation that you can't compete with new love. follow you heart. mine brought me back home.

Passion is always there at first. That dies out sometimes. What is most important is what it seems you have. Security and respect for each other.
Just walking away will risk something pretty good that just lacks a little something. You risk going to something exciting which may be that way for a little while and then go the same way as every other relationship.
You need to talk to your partner and if he loves you he will do anything to give you what you need.
My fiend did the same and she ended up having the same issues with the new guy after a few months and she let a really good guy go.
You seem to have everything so many people would die for - work on what you have. Go on holiday, take a trip somewhere where you wouldn't usually go.
If things don't improve, at least you gave i your best and didn't just throw it away.

It sounds like you have a great roommate there. Relationships without commitment, and some with, often evolve to this stage. Get couple's counseling before throwing in the towel. Even if you involve yourself with this new and exciting guy, you'll likely repeat the same relationship habits and find yourself in this same spot 5 years down the line. You need to figure out what's going on, or you might just need to get used to a new roommate with benefits, every 5 years.

talk to your husband about how you think theres a lack of passion.
if nothing changes, I say go for the other guy. but dont cheat. tell your husband you've met someone who can give you the relationship you long for.

Sounds like you've already made up your mind. Stop looking for validation here and do what you think is right. Don't be surprised though if it gets messy.

Try and sort it out with your partner first dont just leave. If it dont get better and you dont get any happier after a while and he wont compromise then just leave x
