Been with my man for 5 years. He had a hard life and opened my eyes to many things that showed me that I was somewhat sheltered. He and I have grown a lot since the beginning. I am 23 and he is 32. Recently had a conversation with another man but nothing happened. He wants to hang out and I know my boyfriend will get angry if I do...but I really want to because it's something different & talking to him made me miss being single. But I love my boyfriend and don't want to hurt him. I know I am not ready to get married as I have only had 2 serious relationships in my life but he, has had many and he has kids. This new guy, however, is 25 and has no kids which appeals to me. Should I hang out with him?

you are young, and you havent experienced life enough. its obvious that you are not ready to be tied down and that you are curious as to what else may be out there.
i would tell you that whatever you do, dont get married, and dont move in with your current boyfriend... hopefully you dont live with him already... because once you take that step further, it gets harder to get out... if you get married you will surely be unhappy knowing that you still wanted to go out and see the world... it wouldnt work out.
i would say, you are too young to be in a seriously commited relationship... and even though you feel you love him you are not ready for what he has to offer at this time. so, break it off... its not fair for him to think things are going great when you have doubts.

If you are LIVING together with the person you've been with for 5 years, then it wouldnt be right to hang out with this other person.
However, if you'r NOT living together, then I would say you have every right to date this other person...and you should.
You are young, and should be experiencing life to it's fullest.
As well as the experience in dating others. You still have plenty of time to decide your life committmant!

Well don't sneak behind his back.
Just sit him down and talk to him.
Tell him that you would like to have a guy friend and just hang-out with.
Maybe even bring him a long sometimes.
If you are not looking for another relationship then stick with ur b/f but keep this new friend close.

You need to be honest with yourself and your boyfriend. It is clear to me that you want to move on but don't want to say so until you have a replacement. That's very dishonest and hurtful. If you want to move on, tell him. If you don't, then work on the relationship you have.

You should break up with your bf then hang out with this guy. Your too young to tie yourself to this guy.
