A problem shared is a problem half solved. If you have that one friend you trust, open up to them and tell them what is happening. Instead of just making a rushed decision based on your feelings, let your friend give you an opinion about it. They will not only give you honest advice but if they know you well enough, they can probably tell if you are only obsessed with the guy.

2. Identify what you like about the crush

Sometimes it’s just their mustache or their six-pack. If it’s merely about the looks, then it’s not worth to end your relationship because you won’t go far with your boyfriend’s friend. It could also be that there are aspects lacking in your relationship or in your man. If that’s the case, you need to understand that nobody is perfect. There are aspects that you won’t like about your crush and there are certain traits your boyfriend already has but your crush doesn’t have.
