Being in a relationship with someone doesn’t mean you automatically stop looking at the others or stop finding different people attractive. HOWEVER, it can be disrespectful towards your partner if this becomes very frequent and noticeable. This isn’t about being a nagging girlfriend, how would he feel if you kept twisting and bending your neck each time a fairly handsome guy walked past. Sit down and discuss.

Six years is a pretty long time, so you should both be comfortable with each other, I can see why you’re in a bit of a dilemma especially if he wasn’t like that before. Has anything happened between those years that could have lead to this? Ask him what’s changed and find out. If nothing has caused him to change go into detail of how you’d like to explore more when it comes to sex. You don’t  have to jump straight into safewords and bdsm leather whips, but something softer, new and exciting. Let your voice be heard and tell him you want something new and explain why.

Your happiness matters and always comes first. Many people say things in the heat of the moment they don’t really mean, while others true colours come to light. However, it’s not an excuse, in fact it’s a very nasty habit that you need to sit down and discuss when there’s peace.  While talking you should also ask him how he feels about the relationship, and whether he wants to stay. If it always seems like he’s about to break up, then you should find out if that’s what he truly wants. Yeah, solutions can be found, but if you’re not clicking the way you used to and you’re constantly arguing, a relationship which is only a year old can’t survive on constant solutions. There needs to be respect, an understanding, YOU need to be HAPPY and most of all you need to be sure that the relationship is what you BOTH want.

Hey love, I understand this is a tricky situation and since there’s already a foundation for the relationship you have together I can see why you’d like to be exclusive. However, not being in a relationship for a certain time doesn’t mean you need to jump into one. That’s not how these things work. Right now he’s explained his situation, which is being too busy to give you the commitment you want. You’re going to have to listen to him, unless you’d rather settle for a guy who’s very sometimish with you. Yes you love him, but sometimes  love isn’t enough it both people can’t give their all to a proper relationship. You need to distance yourself, because this could turn into a new episode and become a situationship. When a man says he isn’t ready for a relationship, believe him. Even if you got together could you really deal with the fact of how busy he was, with little time to spare? But as I said before..take a step back from this friendship, it’s only fair to yourself.
