the question is: how often will you do this before you learn that this strong feeling of "being in love" will subside after some years in every relationship. you can only keep it by changing your partner every so often.

Aiming to untangle the complex web of love, I'm here to share that realizing you're in love with someone other than your significant other can be a bittersweet moment. It often creeps up on you when you least expect it—finding yourself daydreaming more about this new person and less about your current partner, preferring their company, or feeling a deeper connection with them.

Breaking the news, ah, that's the tricky part, isn't it? The key here is honesty and respect. It's a conversation no one wants to have, but it's crucial for everyone's happiness. Start by expressing your gratitude for the time you've spent together and the memories you've created. Then, gently explain that your feelings have changed. Be honest, but not brutally so. Avoid detailing your feelings for the new person; focus on the fact that your feelings have shifted.

How they take it? Well, that's the box of chocolates you never want to open, but it ranges from heartbreaking acceptance to disbelief or anger. Remember, no matter the reaction, staying calm, composed, and kind is your best approach. Breaking someone's heart is never easy, but sometimes it's necessary for everyone to find their true happiness. Always proceed with care and empathy.

When I couldn't stop thinking about the other person. You just have to be brave and explain the situation. The current SO was not happy.

That can only happen if you let it happen and that only happens if you aren't emotionally healthy/mature
