So here it is...............
I've been with my current girlfriend for 8 years now (we're both 27). I love her to bits and she's the kindest most caring person in the world. Problem is that the spark has been missing from our relationship for the past year or so, sex has pretty much dwindled away to nothing. I still think she's beautiful but we just don't 'fancy' each other anymore. We still cuddle most nights, rarely argue and still get on great but I think deep down we both know that our relationship wont last forever.
So here's the problem. She has a younger sister (26 years old). I've always thought she's a very attractive girl with similar personality to my girlfriend but never really thought about her in a loving way. A couple of months ago the 3 of us went away on holiday and I found myself really getting to know her sister better. Each night, after a few drinks we both got really chatty and I could definately feel a connection between us, nothing sexual happened but I feel the butterflies in my stomach each time we talk and I'm pretty sure she feels the same way.
Since I've been with my current girlfriend I've never once cheated or even felt the need to, but this is different and is driving my crazy, I cant think about anything else. I've waited 2 months before posting this to see if it was just some phase I was going through but I keep waking each morning thinking of her sister.
Shortly after we got back from the holiday my girlfriend told me to "stop flirting with my sister" and off the cuff even said "go out with my sister then, see if i care"
Even if my girlfriend gave her blessing (very doubtful!?) that it was ok that see her sister, its a pretty weird situation.
What do I do?
Keep quiet, hope my feelings disappear and the spark comes back with my current girlfriend?
Break up with my girlfriend for having unfaithful feelings?
Tell the sister how I feel?
Tell my girlfriend how I feel?
Run away forever and see neither again!
I know I'm being selfish but the heart works in mysterious ways and I cant help it, I need to be with her.
Any help is appreciated so I can try and sort this out.
Thanks
